The phone exclusive to AT&T is set to bring the Finnish phone maker back to the United States with a bang. Do they accomplish this? Nokia Hardware Well crafted beauty and power When you first look at the Lumia 900 you will notice its all uni-body design made from a single polycarbonate mold. While that prevents the ability to have a removal battery and expandable storage you can't help but appreciate the beautiful design and how comfortable it feels in your hand. There is a 4.3 inch ClearBlack AMOLED display that makes everything you view look great and pop out even in direct sunlight. Under the hood there is a 1.4 Ghz single-core processor that keeps the Windows Phone experience smooth, 512 MB, 16 GB of storage, 4G LTE, HSPA+ 21 Mbps, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and a 1840 mAH battery. For cameras you get a 1 megapixel front facing camera a 8 megapixel rear facing camera with dual led flash and 720p HD video capture. Nokia packs the Lumia 900 with plenty of power. Nokia Apps Drive, Transit, Maps comes to Windows Phone The partnership between Microsoft and Nokia brings exclusive benefits Nokia Drive, Nokia Maps and Nokia Transit are very popular apps on Nokia's Symbian and MeeGo devices that have been brought over to Windows Phone 7. Nokia Drive brings full true turn-by-turn GPS navigation with offline map support and solid performance. Nokia Transit gives you you're city entire transit schedule in hand with exact minute accuracy in my test on a recent trip into downtown. Nokia Maps is a much more robust map program than Bing Maps and even includes local scout type functionality. While each of these app perform well and replace and even fill in missing elements of native Metro UI interface. Nokia Transit is the only one that fully uses Metro UI while the other apps have some elements of it and they feel more like ports that native applications to the platform. There is also a lack of synergy between all three apps. For example you can't search for something in Nokia Maps and then hit a button to instantly open up Nokia Drive to navigate there. Still with these few flaws you will be satisfied with them. Read the full review here at http //bwone.com/nokia-lumia-900-review/
