Nokia's first LTE device to hit US.

Nokia,a pioneer in mobile communication is all set to release new smartphone Lumia 900, a direct successor to 800 but with bigger 4.3" Screen and LTE enabling. Nokia lumia 900 is a windows 7.5 Mango powered phone with 1.4 GHz processor, 700MHz 1700/2100 MHz LTE Support and 8 MP camera with dual led flash. Nokia and Microsoft are moving aggressively with their first LTE device, selling it for $99 on two year contract with AT&T or $450 without contract, scheduled to release on April 8 in US. It's a surprise to many when this new Lumia is found to be without NFC(Near Field Communication) feature (own patent) for mobile wallet as many android phones has it now..

With the release of this slick design flagship in US, Nokia hopes to regain its market share, competing with iPhone and android. So its gonna be like Nokia and Microsoft partner to take on the duopoly of Apple and Google. Going through the Web, there are mixed reviews regarding the fate of this device. Some say its gonna be the comeback of giant Nokia, with alluring price tag for 4G LTE. Some say it's a risky business for Nokia as prediction is seen below million sales in the first three months in US. while others argue that the pioneer must have something good to offer for this 16 GB sleek polycarbonate enclosed device. And people like many in Asia will go for it, having blind faith in Nokia, once LTE network is available.
Here are some pros and cons for this device.
+good looks(slick design with curves)
+polycarbonate unibody.
+built for better reception.
+Fast 4G LTE connection.
+Better User INterface.
+8 MP dual LED Flash Camera.
+Bigger Screen Size.
+Cheap for a LTE enabled smartphone.

-low screen resolution (800×480).
-only 16 GB memory.
-little heavy.

My initial impressions is very positive with the good looks and the LTE 700 MHz which Nepal Telecom is going to bring later this year. And this is for all who don't want to get in the flood of iPhone and android. So can this be in the list of gadgets I own?? I think it's very early to say that. And I bet Nokia is coming with another shot soon to compete with iPhone 5.
