A slow starter?! Wait, wait, wait. What about this?

Initial sales indicators for the Lumia 900, Nokias most important U.S. Windows Phone to date, are showing that the handset is off to a good start despite the fact that the phone launched on Easter Sunday, a day when most AT&T stores were closed.

That was Wireds Christina Bonnington on the Monday after the Lumia 900s U.S. launch. You might wonder how the heck she could know already that sales were promising.

The Lumia 900 rose to the top of Amazons smartphone rankings today, beating out favorites like the Droid Razr Maxx, the previously most popular phone, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
