We have high hopes for the Nokia Lumia 900, and we’re really rooting for it to succeed here in the U.S. But with iPhone and Android devices taking such an enormous slice of the mobile pie, AT&T and Nokia have to really push Windows Phone, especially considering there are so many other excellent devices on the
