nokia lumia 900 pics leaked

finally some pics for the 900 leaked. here is the link http://wmpoweruser.com/nokia-lumia-900-picture-leaked-by-microsoft-partner/

Looking good! Wouldn't mind buying one of these

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PsfyxRxRYog
Does it look like Lumia 800? Yes, but with bigger display... Maybe 900?

I want that red Lumia 900, cant wait till March 18

It looks like the Nokia 800. Maybe with better specs ?

rumor mill said it will be AT&T LTE based model and Verizon wireless should be getting one....(crossing fingers on that, I would sign a 2 year today if Verizon had one)

Sucks that ATT doesnt have LTE in my area right now but I will have to pay for LTE service even though they dont offer it yet in my area. Verizon LTE towers are up and running in my area though

It look great. If Nikia release white lumnia 900. I will buy one.

pretty good, but i don't like the completely same design with 800 or N9. N9's design is creative, but 800 and 900's is not creative.

Looks great, I'd like a blue one

Apparently it may sport a 4.3 in screen, if so and someone unlocked this thing plus have decent optics like the HTC titan, then i may have to retire my HD2 back to Windows Mobile and send my Touch HD to where all good phones go to die, Africa apparently

Looks good, but I waiting for Lumia 1000.

this phone looks like it is coming to att for sure but verizon not so much.

Some more news from pocketnow: http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/more-nokia-lumia-900-ace-details-revealed
Looks like it will be sold globally and will include T-Mobile 3G bands
Also
We're expecting to fill in the final details in a few short days at CES, where Nokia has also been rumored to introduce another mid-range Windows Phone, the Lumia 719.

I wonder if this could be an LTE Variant of the 710 headed for Verizon.

really cool this device. I hope it won't cost much more than the 800

Interesting that it says it ships with Mango. I was under the impression they couldn't do LTE without Tango.

Some of the rumors have mentioned a modified Mango to support LTE but wont necessarily be rolled out to all devices. Guess we'll see.

I thought in their press release, ATT said $449

That is great news all the way around. Rogers might sell for same price off contract ?
Anyone in Buffalo willing to buy off contract for me from AT&T? I'm good for the money and will pay in USD$ or CAD$. I would want Cyan colour. And yes, willing to pay a small premium for your trouble.
PM me. Thanks!

Off contract --> still SIM locked. Are Nokia phones pretty easy to get unlocked? That's a great benefit of HTC -- very unlockable.

Yes... many unlock companies out there. Unlocked my Lumia 710 with no issue. However, point taken... it may be a couple weeks before unlocking is possble and at a reasonable price. I paid $7 to unlock the Lumia 710 but yet a Samsung C414 clamshell phone cost $30 to unlock. Go figure.. the cheaper phone was way more expensive to unlock.
I would still like a Nokia Lumia 900 in Cyan whether it be an AT&T phone or Rogers. Looks like the Cyan is only in the USA.

It sucks that I cant preorder the phone because I want no commitment. What difference does it make

Will the Cyan be in stores for demo before preorder ends? I'm interested in the Cyan but every pic on the web looks like a different color. I'd like to see it in person before I commit.

I had not seen the multiple shades of blue until yesterday, when they showed in the new set of pics on the Nokia site. I agree, I'd like to see the offering in person. I heard that some stores have both on demo, but most only black.

Anyone know what the deal is if you are 1 year in, into a 2 year contract, and want the Lumia 900?

The only logical answer would be they let you upgrade early. Four months after I got my Samsung Focus on the original launch day 11/8/10 I was offered early upgrade to iPhone. I would think that they will let you upgrade early for their flagship device.
Also, I read some where else, (Can't find atm) that an At$t rep told someone there would be early upgrades for the Nokia Lumia 900.

I was checking att.com last night after midnight and noticed the "maintenance" message and assumed they were adding the content to handle pre-orders. But its still not available on the site yet. Might have to drop in on my local store and see whats up. That will also give me another opportunity to see the sales reps Lumia 900 ;-)

yeah.. I think I'll have to swing by ATT again this morning and drop a pre-order down on this thing.. Cyan lumia 900, here I come.

AT$T manager told me preorders are in store only.

[Q] Lumia 900 Unlocked Price?

I've read that the Nokia Lumia 900 is supposed to be $450 unlocked, but does anyone know where I'd have to buy it from to get it for that price? Everywhere I look, they have it listed as $200-300 more than the MSRP. From that, I'm assuming that by "unlocked," they really meant "off-contract," because I'm pretty sure AT&T is selling it for either $450, but they'll definitely keep you locked in to their service.
I figured if anyone knows, it'll be the fantastic folks of XDA. If I have to, I'll just buy the AT&T version, but Paul Thurrott from www.winsupersite.com told me that unlocked, unbranded phones are supposed to get updates directly from Microsoft, so if possible, I want to buy it completely unlocked.
I'm currently aiming to buy it from Expansys, but they don't have a price listed yet. I've heard good things about Expansys, but if they have it ridiculously marked up, do you guys think Microsoft Stores will be selling unbranded versions? I'd bet anything they'll sell for the $450 that was announced.
EDIT: Also! Do I need a new SIM to use 4G, or can I just cut my current SIM down to size and activate 4G on the AT&T site?

I've heard from others it will eventually show up on the MS store unlocked/unbranded. No idea when though.
I'm also looking for the same thing except in Canada it's a bit of a tougher find a place that ships here. So far, like you said they are all a few hundred more. Def not worth the price just for unbranding.

If MS is going to sell 900 the same way as 800 its going to be a pain. Right now you can only buy 800 as a part of the bundle. Those extras are nice but I really want the phone only.

I think a price of $450, unlocked, is not correct. No commitment, yes. Unlocked, no...not at least until the rest of the world gets it.
AT&T has an exclusive window. I believe the iPad launch ate into that window. You should be able to see more launches, and more variants near the end of April , into May. There is even speculation that T-Mobile will see the 900 sometime after June.
But unlocked , no commit, for $450. Not thinking so....yet.

Thanks for the input, guys. I'm not buying the phone until April 30th anyway, so hopefully by then, the unlocked models will be available.
On a side note, I just went in to an AT&T store and they let me play with a Cyan Lumia 900, it feels soooo awesome. Only issue I had with the Cyan is that the SIM door is black, not Cyan.
Also, they answered my question about the 4G SIM, I need to get a new SIM with 4G.

450 price is no contract but not unlocked. It will still be locked to AT&T, but you get unlock code from eBay. And Microsoft store is not going to sell them unlocked in the future as well. The only reason they are selling the 800 unlocked is because it is not available thru any carriers in the US. They won't go against the US carriers and sell them unlocked in the US.
If you want unlocked out of the box check out websites like negrielectronics.com or expansys-usa.com.

I'm looking at Expansys, but the reason I want an unlocked phone isn't to use it on another carrier, I'm perfectly happy using it on AT&T. I want it unlocked because unlocked phones get updates directly from Microsoft.
Although, have you tried the unlock code form eBay thing? That sounds interesting, I wonder if it would work the way I want it to...

The phones with AT&T branding doesn't get updates directly from Microsoft even if they are unlocked. What you are looking is for unbranded Lumia 900 which is not available now. The only version available on April 8th is the AT&T branded version and even websites like NegriElectronic and expansys are selling the AT&T ones but with sim unlocked.

Thanks, that answers my question. Any idea when the international launch is? If it's not far off it might be worth waiting...I think the Rogers version is launching on the 8th as well, so maybe it is the 8th worldwide, with a US exclusive for AT&T, not worldwide.

Can someone explain early termination to me? Because surely I'm missing something here. Att charge 350 for cancelling early, so if I get the phone for free and sign up for the contract, then immediately cancell it, will I get the phone for 350?

I believe so, but I'm not sure. You'd have to pay for the first month and the activation fee, probably, and I'm not sure if they'd take the phone back or not. Activation is about $35, I think, and the lowest end plan is probably around $60, so that'd total around $445, plus tax, so you're probably just as well off to buy it off contract.

Ah, that's right. Activation fee and 1 month of service, forgot about those.

be careful in how you think about this. International release does not necessarily mean unlocked or unbranded. The Rodgers launch may mean a Rodgers bra ded and locked phone. I read that April 22nd is the international launch day, but the unlocked versions won't see a y light until at least May.
I may be wrong, but all I'm really saying is do not assume. Check the branding and locking before you buy.

Well if this is going to be the unlocked/unbranded price in the US, you can count me out: http://www.nstore.it/nokia-lumia-900-con-windows-phone.html
EDIT: That's roughly $800 USD.

oh I think that price will change within the month. But still, unlocked, unbranded is always more expensive by $150 USD or so...usually. All we can do is wait and see.

Yea, but apparently the unbranded one will have HSUPA or whatever it is instead of LTE, so it looks like I'm stuck buying from AT&T. Oh well, XDA is usually good about getting updates out super fast, I'm running 8107 on my Focus, which is supposed to be at 7720.

Even these guys on eBay are nuts.. Selling the L900 for as low as $575 PLUS $50 shipping or as high as $800. Do they not know this phone is going off contract for $450??
I was willing to pay an extra $50 over the MSRP but not $150-$175..

Thats called " cake and eat it too"
If you wait a few weeks, you should see a difference. As long as AT&T is the only one selling anything, premium pricess will occur. By the end of the month, the unlocked versions will hit the market. Amazon and other sites will get it, and competition takes over. If you want it now, you pay, no pay= want it later.

Amazon is now selling ATT version for $499 (back ordered). So that is not unlocked right? If it's not unlocked, how hard is to get it unlocked?

No its not unlocked. Amazon might sell the unlocked versions, but they are pretty good about clearly lableing it as unlocked. Of course, you would notice right off by the higher price.

Free Nokia Lumia 900.. SHould i keep or sell

hi have a nokia lunia 900. I want it for free during a contest but I do not have at&t. i was wondering if there is any reason to keep it ( say some cool things it may do with windows 8) or should i sell it.. any ideas?

Do you really like it? If not then i say sell it and wait for windows phone 8 devices as there will be high res displays and dual core processors

its a pretty solid phone, i came from android to windows phone and i honestly love my nokia.
but if you dont like it, buy yourself an unlock code for around 25$ maybe a few bucks more, and you can prob get a good $700+ for it on ebay

$459 from AT&T and Amazon. Why would someone pay $700+.

[Q]Does the Microsoft Store sell the lumia 900?

Hey so I have a $1000 MS store gift card and i want to buy a lumia 920 (in november or whenever it comes out)...but i need it with no contract. Does anyone know if the microsoft store sells no contract phones?
Thanks!

Yes and no, it looks like for the Lumina 900 they are still referring you to AT&T, but you can still pick up an unlocked Lumina 800,

Of course, if you don't want it, I'll that the store credit, that or you could wait for the Surface or buy a Signature PC.

Yes, they sell all of the phones they have no-contract. I have purchsed several there over the years.
In fact in some cases they are selling no-contract phones when the carriers won't. When the 900 first came out the AT&T store would NOT sell me an off-contract phone but the MS store did.
Note that no-contract *does not* mean unlocked. Any no-contract phone they sell will still be locked, unless specifically advertised otherwise (example: Lumia 800 they were selling).
