The Lumia 900: Nokia's first 4G LTE Windows Phone device

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop announces the Lumia 900, Nokia's first 4G LTE Windows Phone, during a Nokia press conference at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas 

Nokia is adding a third device to its Lumia family of smartphones — the Lumia 900. The gadget will be a 4G LTE device and it's coming to AT&T's network.

The Lumia 900 is a 4.3-inch device, which happens to look a great deal like the Lumia 800 — except obviously bigger, since the Lumia 800 is a puny 3.7-inch device.

(Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.)

We're still waiting to hear more about the device's specs, but we've heard whispers it's got a 1.4GHz CPU and 512MB RAM.

Nokia is particularly proud of the Lumia 900's camera. The device offers a snazzy back-facing camera with Carl Zeiss optics (a F2.2 aperture lens with a 28mm focal length). This means that you'll wind up with sharper and clearer photos. Oh, and the front-facing camera is supposedly pretty darn great, too. Nokia hopes you'll use it — and its ability to handle extra wide shots — while video-conferencing using the device's built-in Tango app.

As far as using the device goes, well ... it's a Windows Phone experience with a handful of special Nokia touches such as the The ESPN and Nokia Drive apps.

No specific details about the Lumia 900's availability or pricing are available just yet.more information...

Apple squeezes the reception out of Nokia N97 mini

Apple seem keen to prove other smartphones have the same reception attenuation as the iPhone 4. And they are getting back with a video of Nokia N97 mini that suffers from the same grip of death as the iPhone.
Back at Apple Antennagate press conference last week Apple failed to show a faulty Nokia handset (probably because Nokia has a smaller smartphone market share in the US), but nonetheless Nokia came forward with a statement on the matter last weekend.

So Apple is keen to strike back at Nokia and the N97 mini is the next victim of Apple's accusations.
As the following video reveals, the S60-based smartphone loses signal if you cover its antenna with a hand. As a result, the N97 mini drops from 7 to only 2 bars. The question remains though - would that drop be bad enough to cause a dropped call as it is on the iPhone 4?
