Nokia?s new flagship Windows Phone will hit U.S. in early 2012

We just got the lowdown on one of Nokia’s upcoming flagship devices currently set to launch in early 2012 in the United States. According to our source, the new�Nokia�smartphone will be the�Lumia 900, a Windows Phone with the same basic�identity as the Lumia 800 but with a bigger display and other enhancements. The handset will reportedly feature a 1.4GHz processor, a 4.3-inch ClearBlack�AMOLED display and an 8-megapixel camera, and it will ship with Windows Phone “Tango.” We have also been told by a trusted source that Nokia is prepping a huge marketing blitz in the U.S. for January and February, which leads us to believe that we can expect the Finnish vendor’s new flagship Windows Phone to launch some time

Apple approves iTether for iPhone, enables tethering on standard data plans [updated]

Want to share your iPhone’s 3G�connection�with your laptop for a one-time $15 fee? iTether recently launched for iOS devices and it allows you do just that, without any carrier�involvement. We would use the software with caution, however. Several wireless providers such as AT&T can detect when subscribers are tethering an unauthorized device and they usually send a warning asking users to stop. iTether is available now for anyone looking for a quick tethering solution to get through the day but, since carriers will likely react negatively to its existence, we don’t expect it to be around in its current form for much longer. UPDATE: It now looks like Apple has pulled iTether, as most presumed it would. As of approximately

Nokia Lumia 800 sold out in U.K. despite rumors of weak demand

Nokia’s stock took a hit this week as Pacific Crest analyst�James Faucette cut his sales forecast for Nokia’s first two Microsoft-powered smartphones. Having initially estimated that fourth-quarter sales of Nokia’s Windows Phones would approach 2 million units, the analyst dropped his expectations to just 500,000 devices, saying early checks indicated lower than expected sell-through.�Bernstein Research analyst Pierre Ferragu piled on, writing in a note this week that�Nokia’s new phones offer no “breakthrough innovation” or price advantage that might draw attention away from the competition. Just one day after Faucette shared his new estimates, however,�Nokia confirmed that its hotly anticipated Lumia 800 smartphone was sold out across the United�Kingdom.

AT&T withdraws FCC application for T-Mobile merger

AT&T said Thursday that it has withdrawn its application from the Federal Communications Commission to acquire T-Mobile USA. AT&T and Deutsche Telekom said they will instead focus on fighting an antitrust lawsuit brought against the proposed $39 billion merger by the Department of Justice. AT&T made the announcement Thursday following the FCC’s decision earlier this week to hold an administrative hearing regarding the purchase. The FCC said it was unsure the acquisition would create jobs, as AT&T has promised.

China overtakes U.S. as world?s largest smartphone market

China has overtaken the United States as the world’s top smartphone market by volume according to new data released on Wednesday. Market research firm Strategy Analytics found that a record 23.9 million smartphones were shipped in China during the third quarter, representing sequential growth of 58%. In the U.S., smartphone shipments fell to 23.3 million units, a 7% dip compared to the second quarter. “China?s rapid growth has been driven by an increasing availability of smartphones in retail channels, aggressive subsidizing by operators of high-end models like the Apple iPhone, and an emerging wave of low-cost Android models from local Chinese brands such as ZTE,” said Tom Kang, Director at Strategy Analytics.�”Nokia currently leads China?s smartphone market with 28 percent

AT&T: FCC is preventing the creation of thousand of jobs, billions in investment

AT&T on Tuesday issued a statement after the Federal Communications Commission took preliminary steps toward blocking AT&T’s proposed $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA. The FCC said it is not convinced the merger will in fact create jobs as AT&T has promised, and it said it will hold�an administrative hearing to examine the deal. The hearing, however, will not take place until after the�Department of Justice?s lawsuit against the merger, which will go to trial in February 2012, runs its course.�”The FCC?s action today is disappointing,” AT&T’s senior vice president of Corporate Communications�Larry Solomon said in a statement.�”It is yet another example of a government agency acting to prevent billions in new investment and the creation of many thousands of
