Well, the news we’ve been expecting has finally arrived. The gorgeous Nokia Lumia 900 is the latest Nokia Windows Phone to join the Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia Lumia 710 in the new Nokia Lumia range. Unveiled at CES 2012 last night, we’ve been taking a look at why it may be the best Lumia yet.
Following the critical and commercial success of the Nokia Lumia 800, it was inevitable that we’d see the Lumia range growing sooner rather than later and the Nokia Lumia 900 is a welcome addition thanks to its feature-packed specs and great looks. Here are our top 10 reasons why the Nokia Lumia 900 rocks.
Big screen entertainment
Built around a large 4.3-inch screen, the Nokia Lumia 900 is perfect for viewing photos, videos and websites. The AMOLED ClearBlack display packs an ultra-sharp resolution of 800 x 480 pixels and looks truly gorgeous.
Slim and light
Despite such a big screen, Nokia has kept the Lumia 900 nice and portable. At 127.8 x 68.5 x 11.5 mm, the chassis is thin enough to carry in your pocket, while it weighs in at just 160g, making it comfortable to carry as you travel.
Packed with power
Keeping the Nokia Lumia 900 running nice and fast is a 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8055 + MDM9200 processor. And with the great Windows Phone 7.5 Mango OS in place, you get the best software usability around.
Long life battery
To keep you powered up for the whole day (and more) the Nokia Lumia 900 is fitted with a 1840mAH battery and provides as much as 7 hours of talk time, 300 hours of standby time and a staggering 60 hours of music playback.
High-speed 4G connectivity
For the fastest connections possible, the Nokia Lumia 900 is fully equipped with LTE connectivity right out of the box, letting you download data at a rate of up to 50Mbps for flawlessly smooth video playback and web viewing.
Dual cameras
With its rear-facing 8-Megapixel camera, Carl Zeiss lens and dual LED flash, the Nokia Lumia 900 is ideal for taking high-quality photos. And you even get a compact 1-Megapixel front-facing camera too, for video calls on the move.
Built for HD video
When you want to capture your memories in high-definition, the Nokia Lumia 900 can record stunning 720p HD video at a rate of 30fps, letting you get sharp results every time, no matter how fast the subject you’re filming.
Great for social networking
With its fantastic Windows Phone 7.5 Mango software, the Nokia Lumia 900 is ideal for enjoying the best of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, as you can enjoy easy updates and keep in touch with friends in seconds.
Free satellite-navigation
As with the Nokia Lumia 800 and 710 before it, the Nokia Lumia 900 comes with Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive apps to provide free sat-nav functionality for life. Time to ditch your old GPS device, as the new Nokia has it all for free.
Packed with features
And on top of it all, the Nokia Lumia 900 has 16GB of storage, 512MB RAM, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, USB 2.0 and a built-in FM radio, among others, making it one of the most feature-packed Nokia phones yet.
When we found out the Nokia Lumia 900 was on the way, we fully expected a worthy successor to the Nokia Lumia 800, but it’s managed to exceed our already high expectations. This looks like a truly gorgeous smartphone and adds a third high-quality handset to the impressive Lumia range.
