Nokia Lumia 900 Philippines Price, Release Date Guesstimate, Specs - Coming Soon?!

TechPinas Exclusive!

I know that Nokia Lumia 900 - the Finnish giant's current top-tier Windows Phone handset - is supposed to be just exclusive to AT&T in the United States.

But according to TP's valued insider, given that the Philippines is practically a Nokia Nation and that 6 out of 10 Filipinos still prefer Nokia, there's a big possibility that this supersmartphone will be released here sometime this year.

For those who are seeing Nokia Lumia 900 for the first time, it'd be easy to conclude that it's simply a bigger version of the European best-seller Nokia Lumia 800. Sure, the two phones have a similar polycarbonate monoblock design identity but the former offers a lot more than its wider frame. Aside from having a bigger AMOLED screen featuring Nokia Clear Black technology, Nokia Lumia 900 also comes with 4G LTE connectivity support, allowing the user to enjoy internet speeds of up to 50MB per second!

Our insider told us that there's a chance that the phone will be formally announced in the Philippines within the first half or the middle of this year. Since Nokia Lumia 900 supports LTE, networks that deliver this service can also offer this phone as a bundled handset. If you're eyeing to get it sans the contact though, our TP Guesstimate for its suggested retail price is around Php 28,000 - Php 30,000.
