Half Monk 697 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Nokia started selling the Nokia Lumia 1020 in the US, via AT&T, just three weeks ago on July 26th. Since then, third party reports have claimed that sales of the Windows Phone 8 device have been "modest", despite solid reviews for the smartphone and its 41 megapixel PureView camera. One of the biggest obstacles for the Lumia 1020 is its high price. AT&T is currently selling the phone for $299.99 with a new two year contract in most parts of the US. However, Boy Genius Report has revealed today that AT&T has lowered the price of the Lumia 1020 to $199.99 in some portions of the country. The report claims the lower price can be found in some parts of Florida along with a few other markets in the Southeastern US. AT&T has confirmed the price cut but adds that it is part of a small promotion that will only last for a limited time. The promotion also includes a $60 mail in rebate when the phone is purchased with the optional camera grip that doubles as an extra battery, effectively making the accessory a free purchase. It's possible that AT&T is offering this $100 price cut in a limited promotion in an attempt to gauge if such a decrease will help sales of the new smartphone. If it does, we would think that the wireless carrier would extend the promotion to the rest of the US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
