LAS VEGAS--The Consumer Electronics Show is the big coming-out party for the U.S. launch of Nokia's new Windows Phone smartphones.

On the CES stage Monday afternoon here, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said the handset maker will start selling the Lumia 710, which Nokia introduced in December, with T-Mobile USA on Wednesday. He and others spent the remainder of the press event focusing on the unveiling of the Lumia 900 for AT&T's network.

The 900, the first LTE 4G device running the Windows Phone OS, is designed for people who want a rich-media experience. Equipped with … Read more

Nokia used the Consumer Electronics Show to hold a coming-out party for its new phone: the Lumia 900.

It's based on the Windows Phone platform, will use AT&T's 4G LTE network, and boasts a 4.3-inch AMOLED screen that's designed for rich media experiences, the company said at a launch event today in Las Vegas. (By comparison, the Apple iPhone's screen size is 3.5 inches.)

But the company's announcement wasn't as far-reaching or as detailed as some customers might have hoped: there's no word yet on on the Lumia 900'… Read more

LAS VEGAS--Tomorrow, the CES press conference machine will whip us up into a lather and new phone announcements will zing out fast and furiously.

While we don't always know precisely how the cards stack up, a combination of leaks, press day schedules, and common sense provide more than a hunch of how the game will play out.

Phones you can bet on I would put money on these, and I'm not a gambling woman.… Read more

At this point, Nokia has little to hide.

Rumors, leaks, and an anonymous confirmation from two New York Times sources has let the Nokia Lumia 900 "Ace" come rushing out of the bag.

In truth, the proverbial bag was pretty wide open anyway. The global release of the Lumia 800 at Nokia World last fall set the expectation of a CES announcement for the U.S. version; its absence at this show would result in shock and disappointment.… Read more

It's no secret that the U.S. version of the Nokia Lumia 800 will make its debut at CES this month. There's also little doubt that the Lumia 900, as it's widely expected to be called, will come packed with two important goodies that the global version lacked: LTE support and a front-facing camera.

Our friends over at Pocketnow.com got their eyeballs on a few more details as well: the Lumia 900 (code name: Eloko) will come with a 4.3-inch WVGA display instead of the Lumia 800's 3.7-incher. It will also feature an 8-megapixel camera (of course) and an 1,830mAh battery.

That's not all; a few days after the leak reached our ears, The New York Times also pitched in its confirmation of the Lumia 900, through two sources who spoke on conditions of anonymity.

Although Nokia will announce the phone next week, the word on the street is that the Windows phone won't hit AT&T stores until March.… Read more

Microsoft and Nokia are ready to back the money truck up for Windows Phone.

That's according to Windows IT Pro, which reported today that the companies are planning to spend $200 million on marketing in the U.S. to promote the upcoming lineup of phones.

The significant surge in spending underscores the importance of making a splash in the market, particularly from a phone brand that has faded over the past few years and a software partner that lacks the cool factor of its younger competitors. While T-Mobile USA has the first Nokia Windows Phone with the mid-tier Lumia … Read more
