With Radio Shack offering the Verizon branded Nokia Lumia 928 for just $49.99 with a signed two-year contract, it should be no surprise that the device is on back order and ships in 7 to 10 days. Meanwhile, over at Verizon, the phone is sold out even with a higher $99.99 on contract price tag.
Nokia has done a great job drumming up demand for the Nokia Lumia 928. The recent focus on low-light photography has allowed the Finnish manufacturer to produce snappers with apertures perfectly suited to take pictures in low-light without a flash. And the optical image stabilizer on the Nokia Lumia 928 camera makes it look like a video shot with the phone attached to a remote control chopper, was using a tripod when it was not. Now Verizon has a high-end Windows Phone 8 model to call its own, just as the Nokia Lumia 920 has been an exclusive for AT&T.
It should be interesting to see the breakdown of Verizon's second quarter sales once the period ends, to see if the Nokia Lumia 928 will be able to take some business away from the Apple iPhone 5 and the just released Samsung Galaxy S4. And don't forget the BlackBerry Z10.
