Nokia makes the Lumia 900 an AT&T exclusive


Today, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, along with his cohorts Ballmer (Microsoft) and De La Vega (AT&T) made a bit of history today, as they seeded what is to most likely be just the start of an invasion of sorts from the Finnish phone maker. What they planted was the gorgeous Nokia Lumia 900, with it's ClearBlack display at a whopping 4.3-inches, along with being the first Nokia Windows Phone to support 4G LTE--an exclusive to AT&T, for now at least. There will be two color options for AT&T customers to choose from, including a standard black and a not so standard Cyan (blue), as seen in the picture. I have liked the design on this phone from day one, when we first saw the body style pop up with the Lumia 800. It differed from the norm of everyday plasticky Androids, or the iPhone clones that seem to appear every couple days or so. Will this device be the push that Nokia and Windows needs to succeed here in the US? Does AT&T hold some magical power as being the first to get their hands on it? As they did with the iPhone in 2007. No one knows. But I will say one thing, apart from the iPhone, nothing moves more fluid, or as fast as WP7. Take a peek for yourself in the video provided and you tell me if you feel this could be the start of something new.
