Nokia has been seeing some initial success with their Lumia 920 series since its launch on Nov. 9.
If there's one thing Nokia and Apple have in common, it is AT&T. The carrier currently holds exclusive rights of the Lumia 920 smartphone and back in 2007 held exclusive rights to the iPhone.
The Lumia 920 has so far been selling out in several outlets, but how does it far with the still popular iPhone 4S?
