There’s an interesting development today with some rather intriguing news about the Nokia Lumia 925 for the US. Until now it had been thought that this would be an exclusive for T-Mobile stateside. Now though, evidence has arisen showing that the Lumia 925 is currently being tested for AT&T.
The Lumia 925 is a Windows Phone handset that was previously known as the Nokia Catwalk, and it seems set to gain many admirers. Stats obtained by Occasional gamer shows this testing on variant RM-893. As well as this Nokia Developer and Nokia US specs pages state that the Lumia 925 RM-893 is compatible with LTE band 17. You’ve guessed it, that means it’s suitable for AT&T.
This is all rather surprising and interesting because, as we said previously, we had thought that T-Mobile had the exclusive for the Lumia 925, and it raises a couple of possibilities. It could be that purchasers of the phone from T-Mobile who buy it outright will be able to use it on AT&T, as they will not be tied to a purchase plan.
Another possibility is that the Lumia 925 will be offered by AT&T after T-Mobile exclusivity runs out. Either way, it does look likely that at some point AT&T customers will be able to use the Lumia 925 on its network, and that is likely to please many people.
