Nokia Lumia 900 and 610 available May 31st

Nokia Lumia 900 and 610 available May 31st

Nokia just updated their Finnish page to let users know that the Lumia 900 is up for preordering in Finland.

Nokia also listed a selection of retailers and links to their product pages. I just checked with all the retailers via the links, and Gigantti shows that both the Lumia 900 and Lumia 610 will ship on May 31st. The text on Gigantti’s page shows “Toimitukset alk. 31.05.2012,” which means that shipments will begin on May 31st.


Windows Phone 8 Apollo on a Lumia 900?

Windows Phone 8 Apollo on a Lumia 900?

What is that above? It looks like a Nokia Lumia 900 with something that resembles Windows 8. In the upper right corner we see the text Apollo V 3.7, and Windows Phone 8 is currently called Apollo. The log-in screen again resembles that of Windows 8, which could mean that we’ll see a partially merged Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8 layout in the upcoming Apollo release.

Will Microsoft preview Window Phone 8 at their own Windows Phone Developer Summit on 20-21 of June? Could this device be used to show features? Who knows. Just wait a bit longer ;)

Nokia continues to push out semi-regular firmware updates to their Lumia series. Now somewhere in the world, a new firmware of version 12072 is being pushed out to the Nokia Lumia 800.

This update is said to fix a volume-related bug caused by the previous update, some power management improvements, as well as to bring some improvements to the Camera app to automatically detect 50Hz or 60Hz flicker reduction. Keep on checking your phone’s update screen or fire up Zune on a regular basis to be amongst the first to download this update.

Phones 4u issued a press release to let customers who have preordered the Nokia Lumia 900 know about a slight shipping delay. The shipping date was moved from April 27th to May 14th. The delay is caused due to the Lumia 900′s tremendous demand in the States. For those that have already preordered the device, Phones 4u will be offering a complimentary Nokia Purity by Moster in-ear headphones, together with the already promised Nokia Play 360° wireless speaker. Pretty good deal, eh?

The company also announced that they will be the first European retailer to ship the Nokia Lumia 900. Since Phones 4u claim to be the first to ship the Lumia 900 on May 14th, when will other European carriers join the feast?

Nokia Lumia 900 Fuschia

Nokia Lumia 900 Fuchsia

I just found the first living proof of a magenta/fuchsia red Nokia Lumia 900. The fuchsia colored Lumia 900 is actually up for pre-order in Finland via Gigantti. Nokia has yet to announce an official date of availability, just that it will happen sometime in May.

The color on the page is listed as Fuchsia Red, but the SKU shows NOKLUMIA900MA, meaning that it is created as Magenta. Doesn’t really matter what it is called, it’s red to my eye ;)

Nokia yesterday announced that the Lumia 900 is coming to Finland in May. One thing that was left unsaid was the price. However, pre-orders have now begun, and we have a final price for the Nokia Lumia 900 in Finland.

The cheapest price currently is via DNA with a 2-year contract. The phone is 20€ a month, or as a one-time payment of 480€. The Nokia Lumia 610 again will sell for 9€ a month, or a one-time payment of 216€. All DNA prices require a 2-year contract with the carrier.

Verkkokauppa.com, a big online retailer in Finland, offers the Nokia Lumia 900 for 589.90€. Other retailers have yet to announce the sales price for the Lumia 900.

The white Lumia 800 caused quite a havoc when it was announced earlier this year. It was a beautiful device, and sold out in many places upon arrival. Now its big brother, the Lumia 900 is also available in White. It was release by AT&T in the States this Sunday, and already is the device sold out. AT&T’s online store shows that both the white and the cyan colored Lumia 900s are out of stock.

The white Lumia 900 has yet to make its way to other popular web sites such as Amazon or Best Buy. Maybe Nokia could see this coming and shipped all available white Lumia 900s straight to AT&T?

Nokia today announced that two new Lumias will hit Finland in May. The Nokia Lumia 610 and Lumia 900 will both go on sale sometime in May, with pre-orders of both devices starting tomorrow, on April 25 at 00:00. Nokia didn’t reveal official pricing, but since pre-orders start tomorrow, it has to be public intel my then.
