Nokia’s First LTE Windows Phone is Here…And in the U.S.

Posted by immunk pare on 16.32

LAS VEGAS — At CES 2012, Nokia and AT&T announced the Lumia 900, a thin, powerful and LTE-enabled Windows Phone for the U.S. market.

Dubbed the Lumia 900, the device builds on the powerful design of the Lumia 800 and adds some great new upgrades to the mix. It’s Nokia’s first LTE handset and it was built exclusively for AT&T.

For those that liked the Lumia 800′s design but wanted a bigger screen and front-facing camera, this phone is for you.

The Lumia 900 has a 4.3″ screen with a AMOLED ClearBlack display at 800×480. The screen on the Lumia 800 was one of the nicest I’ve seen — next to the Retina Display on the iPhone 4/4S — so expect this to pop with the blacks and the colors.

In addition to the 8-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, the Lumia 900 also has a front-facing camera for video chat and self-portraits.

Users who are in an area covered by AT&T’s LTE network can experience true 4G speeds. If you are outside that area, it falls back on the still speeds HSPA+.

Price and release information weren’t revealed — but we hope we see this one hitting AT&T stores soon.

The Lumia 800 is easily one of the best looking and best feeling handsets I’ve had a chance to review. If the Lumia 900 can deliver the goods — and on a major network like AT&T — Nokia and Windows Phone might be able to make some inroads in the U.S. market.

Let us know your thoughts on the device in the comments.
