from AT&T on April 8th at a price of $99.99. AT&T is
already acepting pre-orders.
The Lumia 900 brings the first Windows
Phone capable of utilizing AT&T's LTE Network.
The smartphone features a 4.3" AMOLED ClearBlack Display,
an 8MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics,a wide aperture

In the United States, the Lumia 900 will be available in

joined by a white version beginning April 22.
The phone is powered by a 1830 mAh battery and
offers AT&T customers Nokia Drive, Nokia's ESPN sports
hub (news, videos and scores), along with AT&T U-Verse
Mobile, which allows AT&T U-Verse TV subscribers to
schedule and manage their DVR and even watch TV shows
while on the go.
AT&T has also confirmed to us that another Windows Phone,
the HTC Titan II, will be hitting the carrier's U.S.
stores on April 8th. HTC's flavor will retail for double
the price of Nokia's new flagship, priced at $199.99, and
has higher megapixel count, thanks to its 16MP
backside-illuminated sensor with an f/2.6 AF lens in tow.
It also includes a 1730mAh and a 4.7-inch screen.
HTC will also release its flagship HTC One X smarthone
in the U.S. the following weeks. The HTC One X sounds
like a killer phone on paper-- Android 4.0 Ice Cream
Sandwich, 4.7-inch HD screen, and an Nvidia Tegra 3
quad-core processor.
The phone allows users to snap pictures while watching
videos or movies.
It will sell for $705 by Sprint. Note that the device has
already been launched as the HTC One XL for AT&T users.
However, it does not have a quad-core processor under its
hood but offers LTE connectivity.
HTC One X will be also a tough competitor to the
upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3 super smartphone.
