The handset is up for preorder now in Italy, at the reasonable 99 EUR price with a contract and the pretty high 599 EUR price without any carrier subsidies (about $800). The rumored arrival date is pegged at some time next month.
Whether sales will be successful outside of the US remains to be seen, but AT&T, Nokia and Microsoft have seemingly formed quite the marketing alliance behind the Lumia 900, so we expect some record-breaking Windows Phone sales to come with it. The phone is now backordered on Amazon, and the online retailer is sweetening the deal with a free car charger besides its hard-to-beat 1 cent price for new customers.
