Rumor: Nokia Lumia 910 with 12MP Camera Coming to Europe in May

Although rumors on a possible European release of the Nokia Lumia 900 have come and gone, there’s no official confirmation for it yet.

 

Nokia already stated that the Lumia 900 was especially designed for the North American smartphone market, but Europeans cannot accept that such a high-end Windows Phone device won’t be available for them.

 

This was probably one of the reasons that made UK-based retailer Carphone Warehouse add the Lumia 900 to its online store with the “Coming Soon” tag, no later than yesterday.

 

Unfortunately, a few hours after all the media jumped to the conclusion that Nokia Lumia 900 would finally reach European shores, the retailer removed the landing page of the smartphone without giving any explanations.

 

This means that either it’s too early for a “Coming Soon” page, or the phone won’t make it to Europe at all. Currently, no other European retailer lists the Nokia Lumia 900 as ‘Coming Soon.’

 

Still, things might not be as bad as they look, according to Eldar Murtazin, the main source of Nokia rumors. According to him, Nokia plans to launch the Lumia 900 in Europe in June 2012.

 

However, this is not all, as the Finnish handset maker has another ace up its sleeve, which is called Nokia Lumia 910. The smartphone is expected to arrive in Europe in May 2012, Murtazin claims.

 

Details on the smartphone’s specs sheet are scarce at the moment, but Murtazin mentions in its tweet that the Lumia 910 will be available on the market with an impressive 12-megapixel rear camera.

 

If rumors prove to be accurate, this seems to be a big marketing mistake, but such weird moves coming from Nokia have become usual. If Nokia launches the Lumia 900 in Europe, one month after they release the improved Lumia 910, it will definitely kill the former’s sales.
