Nokia Lumia 920 And HTC 8X Sold Out At Microsoft Retail Stores

(GSM Insider) - Is it Windows Phone devices really so popular at the moment? Maybe. In the latest report, both Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC 8X sold out at the Microsoft physical stores.


According to Ben Rudolph from Microsoft, he posted a photo at his Twitter regarding the Windows Phone 8 devices. The photo stated that "Out of Stock: Nokia 920 and HTC 8X. Taking orders insider!".

The Nokia 920 simply means the Nokia Lumia 920. Perhaps the time scarcity caused the employees printed out the note with typo. The notice also stated that those who interested in these two devices can make orders at the store.
