The BlackBerry has been dumped by one of the largest malls in America for Nokia's flagship smartphone.
Mall of America has announced it will have their management team members switch form the BlackBerry smartphone to the Nokia Lumia 920.
As America's largest retail and entertainment complex, Mall of America is making the transition due to the services Microsoft offers with the Windows Phone 8 smartphone.
"Switching to the Nokia Lumia 920 has increased productivity for key team members," said Mall of America Janette Smrcka, I.T. Director Janette Smrcka. "The combination of a great smartphone with built-in Microsoft Office suite enables our team to work collaboratively, and the intuitive and responsive touchscreen made the transition a great experience for those using a touch screen for the first time."
The I.T. director noted the mall having more than 400 events and credited the Lumia 920's PureView camera's ability to capture, edit, and share images with high-quality imagery and real time updates to social media fans and business customers.
"When you combine this with all of the Windows Phone 8 platform's business capabilities, at a price we can afford, we've got a device we're really proud to use," added Smrcka.
"Mall of America is a great example of how all the business features of the Nokia Lumia 920, combined with its social capabilities, can make a great work device," said Stephanie Mosticchio, of Nokia Enterprise Sales Manager for North America.
"The Windows Phone 8 platform has meant the company's employees have been able to transition quickly, due to its built-in and familiar Microsoft Outlook and Office Mobile applications. From the intuitive integration with Microsoft services, to Live Tiles and People Hub making it easy to stay close to what matters, all wrapped in the beautiful polycarbonate body of the Nokia Lumia 920, it offers everything a mobile workforce could ask for."
The Lumia 920 Windows Phone 8 smartphone has a screen size of 4.5-inches with a 1,280x768 pixel resolution, 32GB of internal storage with 1GB of RAM, an eight-megapixel rear-facing camera with 3,264x2,448 pixels with LED flash, and a 2,000 mAh battery capacity.
