14 DAY TRIAL // As expected, Nokia launched its Windows Phone flagship smartphone, the Lumia 900, in Singapore. The handset is available via SingTel, but it can also be purchased through Nokia’s brick and mortar stores.
Customers who are willing to commit to a long-term contract can purchase the Nokia Lumia 900 for as low as 195 USD (155 EUR). Those who want to avoid being tied by a long-term plan can grab the smartphone for 665 USD (530 EUR) upfront via Nokia Stores.
However, the folks at WPCentral report that the Lumia 900 is also available for “approximately 720 SGD at some stores such as Adix,” which is about 565 USD (450 EUR).
According to Facebook Nokia page, the first five customers who purchased the Lumia 900 also received a free Xbox 360 Kinect Holiday Bundle.
This is the third Lumia device launched in Singapore, after the Finnish company introduced the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 several weeks ago.
However, unlike the previous two models, Lumia 900 ships with Windows Phone Tango platform out of the box, which features Internet Sharing capabilities.
The latest Windows Phone Tango update is currently rolling out worldwide, but it will take some time until it reaches all Lumia phones.
Obviously, Nokia fans living in Singapore will be able to grab the international version of Lumia 900, which means no LTE support will be available.
However, the rest of the specs are similar to the AT&T variant, so expect the same stunning 4.3-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen integrated with ClearBlack display and Corning Gorilla Glass coating.
On the inside, the smartphone packs a single-core 1.4 GHz Qualcomm APQ8055 Snapdragon processor, an Adreno 205 GPU, 512MB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. There’s also an impressive 8-megapixel rear camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual-LED flash, autofocus and HD (720p) video recording.
