Title: Lumia 900 Goes Up For Pre-Order In Microsoft Stores
Post by: techieguy on Feb 07, 2012, 10:05 PM
The Lumia 800 (http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/06/nokia-white-lumia-800/) is an excellent device, and if you're new to the world of smartphones, the Lumia 710 (http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/05/review-nokias-low-end-hail-mary-pass-the-lumia-710/) is quite excellent as well. But those of us who've been excited about the Nokia/Microsoft partnership since the very beginning have been waiting for a flagship — a real showstopper: the Lumia 900.

And while we still don't have exact word on pricing and availability, it would seem that employees at the Microsoft Store are offering pre-orders of the 900 in both black and white.

Before today, we didn't even know whether or not a white Lumia 900 would be an option, but after seeing a pearly white 800 and hearing these reports it appears that white is on the table.

$25 secures your spot on the list for Nokia's LTE-capable flagship, though how much more you'll have to pay for the phone is unclear. We've heard rumors that the Lumia 900 would be at an aggressive $100 price point (http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/25/99-nokia-lumia-900-to-hit-att-on-march-18/), but Slashgear (http://www.slashgear.com/microsoft-store-offers-lumia-900-white-and-black-pre-orders-07212371/) reports that Microsoft Store employees are debating pricing between the $150 and $200 region.

We expect to see the Lumia 900 in March.
