ATT is now investing heavily in the new Lumina 900, they have crowned it their 'hero' phone which from what I read means it will be front in center in stores, their website (which it is the first phone to pop-up today 4/8), and it is free to employees for personal use, testing and promotion. Now that Verizon and Sprint have the iPhone, ATT has decided they need a new advantage. As for maps, Nokia has Nokia Maps which are some of the best in the world, they have an agreement with Good for WP, and Skype will most likely appear on them first (although if you were paying attention to WP news there was a hidden beta of Skype for WP released several weeks ago, I believe its down now). I have the orignal Focus and still love the phone, bought my wife the Arrive on Sprint (but if they don't start carrying more WPs at next upgrade we're done after 12 years). I'll be updating to another WP phone when the Focus dies.
