Nokia recently announced their first 4G LTE smartphone for the US,
the Nokia Lumia 900, which is expected to go on sale in March, and now
it would appear that Microsoft Stores have started taking pre-orders on
the handset.
We still don’t have an official launch date for the device, although
the last thing we heard was
the 18th of March, and the device can now be
pre-orderd at Microsoft Stores for a $25 deposit, you will also have to
sign a new two year contract with AT&T.
As a reminder, the Nokia Lumia 900 is a Windows Phone 7.5 Mango
device and it features a 4.3 inch AMOLED ClearBlack touchscreen display
with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels.
The Nokia Lumia 900 is powered by a single core 1.4GHz processor, plus a rear facing 8 megapixel camera with an f2.2 Carl Zeiss lens, the rear camera is capable of recording HD video in 720p, up front we have a 1 megapixel camera with an f2.4 lens and the device comes with 16GB of built in storage, plus 4G LTE and WiFi.
The device will be available for $99 when you sign up to a new two
year contract with AT&T, considering Microsoft are offering the
device for pre-order we suspect it wont be long before AT&T puts it
up for pre-order.
