After initially establishing a pre-order program for the highly anticipated Nokia Lumia 900 for AT&T’s 4G LTE network in the U.S., Microsoft retail stores are now abruptly ending the program and are no longer taking pre-orders for the Windows Phone device. It’s unclear as to why the pre-order program has suddenly end and Microsoft did [...]
In a bit of a bizarre move, Microsoft has pulled the Nokia Lumia 900 pre-order offer from its retail stores located around the United States. That’s right, you can no longer pre-order a Lumia 900 for AT&T’s 4G LTE network. The odd thing is, neither Microsoft nor Nokia offered up any kind of specific reason [...]

AT&T is about to be the first carrier in the United States to land two 4G LTE Windows Phones and we thought it would be appropriate to compare them to each other. The phones we speak of are the HTC Titan II, a handset that features an absolutely massive display and the Nokia Lumia 900, [...]
After being optimistic and announcing that it would continue to sell at least 150 million more Symbian phones after having announced the switch to Windows Phone nearly a year ago, Nokia may have been overly optimistic and weak sales numbers for the Symbian ecosystem may lead the world’s largest phone-maker to abandon the sinking Symbian [...]

It’s been a few weeks and the dust from a very active CES for phone announcements is beginning to settle. AT&T and pretty much every major OEM announced phones.

It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S III isn’t the only rumored device that Eldar Murtazin has been touting. No, he has also outed a phone that he is calling the Nokia Lumia 910 which will apparently be arriving in Europe ahead of the Nokia Lumia 910. As of right now, the only detail that [...]
Lumia, which means light according to Nokia at the devices’ introduction at Nokia World in October, may be just that–the light at the end of a dark tunnel for the Finnish smartphone-maker. Since announcing that the company would be banking its future on Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 OS, Nokia has topped 1 million Lumia phone [...]
Some good news and bad news here. The good news is that the Nokia Lumia 900 will indeed be headed to places not called the United States.

Nokia had created the Lumia 900 as its U.S.-centric high-end Windows Phone, which borrows a lot of its design elements from the beloved Lumia 800, but adds a larger 4.3-inch display, sheds the PenTile sub-pixel matrix arrangement for a sharper display, and boasts blazing fast 4G LTE connectivity on AT&T’s U.S. network. So what’s an [...]

Nielsen’s Mobile Media Report for the last quarter of 2011 reveals that sales of the iPhone not only enriched Apple’s coffers but also brought more new smartphone owners into the fold and increased the company’s mobile marketshare.

The phone that we gave our Best in Show Award for CES 2012, the Nokia Lumia 900 Windows Phone, might be headed to more carriers than just AT&T. According to a rumor from Paul Thurrott over at WinSuperSite, AT&T apparently has a 45 day exclusivity period over the device which, if true, means that other [...]
