"Lumia 900" transformed Nokia from other Smartphones..!

Nokia used the Consumer Electronics Show to hold a coming-out party for its new phone: the Lumia 900.


Nokia Lumia 900
It is based on the Windows Phone platform, will use AT&T's 4G LTE network, and boasts a 4.3-inch AMOLED screen that's designed for rich media experiences, the company said at a launch event today in Las Vegas. (By comparison, the Apple iPhone's screen size is 3.5 inches.)

But the company's announcement wasn't as far-reaching or as detailed as some customers might have hoped: there's no word yet on on the Lumia 900's pricing or availability. And there was no news of tablets or the phone's availability on other carriers.

The official Lumia 900 specifications as from the Nokia's conversations:

______________________________________________________________
This device signals several things: 
Firstly, that Nokia is serious about the US, launching arguably the flagship Lumia device in the US before the rest of the world; secondly, that Nokia has the clout with Windows Phone to allow it to be first to market with an LTE device; and thirdly, that AT&T is now seriously into the business of offering LTE phones. The device will get significant marketing support from Nokia and AT&T, and therefore has the best opportunity of any Windows Phone launched to date to do well in the market. However, that's not to say it will be a blockbuster: the exact timing and pricing will be major factors too, and those have not been announced yet.
