The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) set this coming week is sure to
have tons of nifty gadgets and gizmos and not to be left out is Nokia,
which is reportedly using the event to unveil its first Windows phone
for AT&T.
People
familiar with the matter said AT&T, the second-largest US wireless
center, will be featuring the Windows phone Nokia Ace. Nokia’s handset
will be using long term evolution (LTE) technology. AT&T has been
busy lately expanding its LTE network, and what better way to give it a
spin than through Nokia Ace.
Final details on the deal remain
confidential but sources said it is a go and will likely be priced at
$249 with a two-year contract. Nokia’s partnership with AT&T is part
of the company’s bid to gain lost ground in the smartphone arena, where
the likes of Samsung and Apple have gained a huge following.
