display and exclusive applications
Las Vegas, US - Today at the 2012International Consumer Electronics Show (CES),
Nokia and AT&T announced the Nokia Lumia 900, the first of Nokia's Windows®
Phone-based range to feature high-speed LTE* connectivity. Â With Nokia's largest
display, the Nokia Lumia 900 delivers a rich content experience from a phone
that still fits easily in your hand.
Coming exclusively to AT&T in the coming months in cyan and matte black, the
Nokia Lumia 900 has a 4.3-inch AMOLED ClearBlack Display for rich, bright
images both indoors and out, faster connection speeds based on cutting-edge4G
LTE technology, and a long-lasting 1830 mAH battery for enjoying content all
day.
The primary camera includes Nokia's exclusive Carl Zeiss optics, with large
aperture (F2.2) and wide angle focal length (28mm) for high-quality, uncropped
images even in low-light conditions. In addition, the Nokia Lumia 900 includes
afront-facing camera boasting a large aperture and a wide angle lens that
ensures sharp, bright images for high-quality video calling, right out of the
box
Nokia's third Lumia smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 900 builds on Lumia's head-
turning design on the outside and a rich social and Internet experience on the
inside. Â People Hub is the quickest way to connect with friends with Live Tiles
for real-time updates and a fast Web browsing experience with Internet Explorer
Mobile.
"The introduction of the Nokia Lumia 900 with AT&T is another significant
milestone in the ongoing rollout of Nokia's global smartphone strategy," said
Chris Weber, president of Nokia Americas. "The Nokia Lumia 900 is designed
specifically with the US in mind and the announcement of this collaboration
with AT&T, in addition to other recent announcements, signifies a new dawn for
Nokia in the US."
