Pocket-Lint: The Nokia Lumia 900 in white has begun arriving at Phones 4u, a week before it officially said it would be stocking the phone.
One of Pocket-lint’s eagle-eyed readers noticed that the pre-order page on the retailer's website had been removed and replaced with a banner saying the phone wouldn’t actually be available until 27 May – 13 days after the anticipated 14 May arrival.
Engadget - If you liked the look of the previously India-bound Lumia 510 but live on the other side of the world, there's now no need to fret. Nokia has just confirmed to Omio that they will be bringing their cheapest Windows Phone device to Blighty -- although there's no word yet on UK-specific pricing or willing carriers.
FTG writes- In February 2011, a partnership between Microsoft and Nokia promised the Finnish mobile manufacturer would make the Windows Phone their primary operating system for its smartphone devices. With the combination of know-how between the software giant and leading mobile handset manufacture, great things were expected.
I have to say what nokia have done with windows phone is not whst i expected from them. I have been a htc user since the htc hd and the last htc device i got was the titan and i really enjoyed using the device but when the lumia 900 came out i had a play and the clear black sceeen made my titan screem look very dull even though they were the same resolution. Add nokia maps navigation to this as well as the other extra bits nokia added to there market place it really gives samsung and htc something to think about if they want to grab a big part of the windows phone market.
I look forward to seeing what nokia do now ms have made windows phone 8 work with the high end devices beacuse if its as smooth as wp7 on a single core phone then android and apple will have something to worry about.
Its got rather dull specs. Only a 1.4ghz single core processor. They are dirt cheap though if your two year contract is up and you are looking to upgrade. Only like $19 to upgrade. Some places its even free.
The reasons these run on low specs is because the ui doesn't need anything powerful to run it. The windows UI is already fluid and fast with single core, unlike android phones, which require dual core just to maintain a good performance.
OT: I can't wait to get me a windows phone 8.
Front Towards Gamer-On Wednesday, July 25th, AT&T sponsored a Philadelphia tech party at the Union Trust Steakhouse on Chestnut Street. Food arrangements were made, a limo was ordered, bar tabs were taken care of, and of course there were plenty tech goodies to be enjoyed. Not only did AT&T provide a number of great new phones and accessories (some really cool, some more “out there”), but also, inviting people who love tech means a few surprises are ensured to follow.
