Nokia and AT&T Announce AT&T-exclusive Lumia 900

Despite the fact that CES didn't actually start until today, there was a ton of announcements throughout Sunday and Monday. Joining the crowd of laptops, tablets, desktops, phones and TVs already unveiled, Nokia and AT&T took the wraps off the Nokia 900.

Microsoft and Nokia have been working hard over the last year to bring the partnership they announced in early 2011 to life. So far, we've seen the Lumia 710 and the Lumia 800. Now, the Lumia 900 is joining them. Similar in appearance to the 710 and 800 (and available in similar colors), the Lumia 900 is an AT&T exclusive and is headed for launch in the next couple of months.

So, what can you expect from the newest addition to the Lumia lineup? 4G LTE support, for one. That aside, the Lumia 900 boasts a single-core 1.4GHz Snapdragon CPU, a 4.3-inch ClearBlack AMOLED 800 x 480 touchscreen display, 512MB RAM, an 8-megapixel (F2.2, 28mm) camera in the rear with Carl Zeiss optics, and a a 1840mAH battery. Of course, there's also the all-important dash of Microsoft in the form of Windows Phone 7.5, also known as Mango.

"The introduction of the Nokia Lumia 900 with AT&T is another significant milestone in the ongoing rollout of Nokia's global smartphone strategy," said Chris Weber, president of Nokia Americas. "The Nokia Lumia 900 is designed specifically with the US in mind and the announcement of this collaboration with AT&T, in addition to other recent announcements, signifies a new dawn for Nokia in the US."

Expect the phone to arrive in your local AT&T store in a couple of months' time. AT&T has not yet mentioned anything regarding pricing, but, as always, we'll keep you posted.
