Nokia Lumia 900 phone - the hero smartphone has been released..

The Nokia Lumia 900 for AT&T represents a number of firsts: it is the first high-end Windows Phone from Nokia to arrive in the U.S., it is the first 4G LTE smartphone from Nokia, and it is one of the first 4G LTE Windows Phones on the market.

Unfortunately, its not all peaches and roses with the Lumia 900, as its seemingly capable camera does not live up to expectations in real world performance. Additionally, the Windows Phone Marketplace still doesn't offer nearly as many apps as its iOS and Android counterparts, though it has grown tremendously in recent months.

Like the Lumia 800 that preceded it, the Lumia 900 features a stunning industrial design, great build quality, and a fantastic ClearBlack AMOLED display. Add in great network performance, solid battery life, and a fast and fluid user interface thanks to Windows Phone 7.5, and you start to see that AT&T and Nokia really might have a winner on their hands.

Nokia Windows 8 Tablet Rumored for Q4

There’s no doubt that Nokia is eventually going to release a Windows 8 tablet. The latest rumor pins it for a Q4 2012 release. DigiTimes reports a 10-inch tablet with a dual-core processor. The Verge says the processor will most likely be the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4, which we previewed during CES.

Nokia is expected to outsource production of the 10-inch Windows 8 tablet to Compal Electronics. The first batch of shipments is estimated at 200,000 units.

It’s way too early to get excited for this tablet if it’s expected late in the year. With the new iPad releasing in just a few days, maybe it isn’t such a bad idea for Nokia to wait.

Nokia World 2012 to be Held in Helsinki, Finland

Circle September 25 and 26 on your calendar. Nokia World 2012 will be held on those days in Helsinki, Finland. The two previous Nokia World events were in London. It will be held in Helsinki Exhibition & Convention Centre. I’ve attended in the past 2 years, covering the event for The Nokia Blog. I hope I can attend again this year to provide live coverage for you with high quality videos.

The event website can be accessed here.
As a reminder, the Nokia Lumia, Nokia Asha, Nokia Purity, and more were announced at last year’s Nokia World event.

Nokia World has been an annual event since 2006 and is where Nokia generally introduces their new flagship products. Last year Nokia introduced the Nokia Lumia 800, Lumia 710, and the entire Asha family. Nokia has officially announced about the Nokia World 2012 date and location, today.

Thoughts on the Nokia 808 PureView

I’ve always been a fan of Nokia’s cameraphones because it meant carrying one device instead of a point-and-shoot camera AND a phone. In regards to imaging, my favorites were the Nokia N93, N82, N86 8MP, and the N8. Nokia recently announced the 808 PureView which is going to be Nokia’s best imaging phone yet. I’ve played with the device at Mobile World Congress and was impressed especially with the technology behind it. There’s just one problem. It’s not a Windows Phone device.

Nokia already made me fall in love with Windows Phone and it’s going to be really hard for anyone to convince me to use Symbian again. That’s my big problem. I want the 808 PureView’s camera, but not Symbian.

When asked why their new imaging flagship is running Symbian instead of Windows Phone, Nokia’s usual response to the press was that they’ve been working on the technology for five years. They’ve just recently adopted Windows Phone. Nokia insisted we’ll eventually see a ‘combination’ of PureView technologies on Windows Phone.

The keyword ‘combination’ came up multiple times when I asked about Windows Phone and PureView. I suspect it means we’ll see a Nokia Windows Phone device with high performance optics and Nokia industry-leading image processing algorithms, BUT with a smaller sensor than the 41 megapixels found on the Nokia 808 PureView.

Nokia X2-02-eview: Two in one

Another dual-SIM phone by Nokia should be about as surprising as snow in Finland. And while we can understand it if you don't exactly brace yourselves for a shocker, being prepared won't hurt. The Nokia X2-02 has some real nice treats for all of you who like surprises.
It's been nothing short of an invasion. Nokia's dual-SIMs cover every step of the entry-level segment. You can learn the ropes on the most basic S30 phones, before moving on to Touch and Type. Dual-SIM has a prominent place in the fresh Asha series too.

Nokia X2-02 official pictures
It's a respectable lineup, in which the X2-02 stands out. It's not about being the best-equipped phone of the bunch. With 3G completely out of the question and cameras never crossing the 2MP mark, there's a tight limit on how much extra luggage dual-SIM phones can carry. The X2-02 gets around it by focusing on a single skill and really going the distance with it.

Phones like the Nokia X2-02 are at the bottom of the food chain. Most of the time, a flashlight is all the extra functionality one can hope for. A 2MP fixed focus camera and blurry choppy videos are the closest to luxury you can get at this price. Dual-SIM telephony is the main course, but in the X2-02 the side dish may be just as tasty.

Nokia X2-02 live shots
The Nokia X2-02 inherits the dedicated music controls (and the vibrant paintjobs) of the X1-01, but takes music playback to a whole new level. The built-in FM antenna lets you blast the tune playing on the radio through the powerful loudspeaker without having to plug the headphones first. The side-mounted microSD card slot is always ready to take a huge music collection, which the FM transmitter will broadcast to every radio around you.

There couldn't have been more for the X1-01 to hope for. But the upgrades don't end with the added features. Take the jump to our hardware chapter, where we discover a side-mounted, hot-swappable SIM slot and a better keypad.
