Nokia’s newly launched windows smartphone the Nokia Lumia 900 is making waves in the United States. The world’s leading mobile manufacturer made a triumphant return to the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas over the weekend, winning a raft of awards and honors for the Nokia Lumia 900. Nokia won the prestigious “Best Smartphone” award from technology site CNET.
In addition to the Nokia Lumia 900 launch for AT&T’s 4G LTE network, the Nokia Lumia 710 went on sale at all T-Mobile stores. Microsoft said it will sell the Nokia Lumia 800 in all its retail stores, and in Canada, Rogers said it will carry the Nokia Lumia 710, while TELUS will sell the Nokia Lumia 800.
The buzz around Nokia’s return was clearly seen in Las Vegas: standing room only at a packed press conference, where media had to be turned away, enthusiastic customer meetings and a non-stop flow of visitors to the Nokia booth. Vegas is known for its glitz, glamor and headline acts, and in this regard the Nokia Lumia 900 did not disappoint.
Nokia’s renowned Bright AMOLED Clear Black display with toughened glass stretching to the sides of the phone is what will catch your eyes in the first contact. The Back, Start and Search buttons on the front of the screen are set in the glass on the front of course. On the back, there’s an eight-megapixel auto-focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics.
