The particular international roll-out of Nokia's flagship Lumia 1020 continues apace, with pre-orders open within the U. Ok. and regions of Europe, and also New Zealand and also Australia. However there's bad news regarding customers of Australian company Telstra, containing now cancelled pre-orders for your device.
Jason Cartwright via techAU reports that she received any call via Telstra apologising for your cancellation of his pre-order for your Lumia 1020, citing unspecified "Nokia software issues" because the motivation behind deciding. As Cartwright famous, this may very well be an issue specific to be able to Telstra's system, since compete with carrier Optus can be continuing to adopt pre-orders for the handset before its release on March 1.
The particular bad media doesn't conclusion there, as Telstra features given not any indication of in the event the pre-order publication will reopen, giving little hope for customers hoping to obtain their hands on the device and mighty 41-megapixel video camera, unless they're prepared switch cpa networks or pick the device at a high price without any contract.
But there's what's promising. Not at ease with leaving their customers with just a dried out apology, Telstra is providing a free Nokia Lumia 520 to those who pre-ordered the particular 1020, to be a good-will touch. While it can be hardly within the same group as their bigger brother, the 520 is a superb little phone, scoring incredibly highly in this review.
Having said that, there's some thing mildly fun about blaming the particular cancellation on software difficulty Nokia, and then sending shoppers a Nokia phone - although as compensation goes, that beats any $10 treat voucher.
