Nokia Lumia 900 review

Nokia is in a bind. The company announced more than a year ago that it planned to abandon both Symbian and MeeGo in favor of Windows Phone, the emerging mobile Microsoft platform that is currently still emerging more than two years after it was introduced as “Windows Phone 7 Series” in February 2010. Nokia and Microsoft had a lot in common, of course. Beyond an executive who ran Microsoft’s business division before joining Nokia as its CEO, both companies were once giants in the smartphone space. Microsoft had long since toppled, and Nokia’s market share was plummeting as its products continued to struggle against Android and the iPhone. Just two smartphones have emerged so far from Nokia and Microsoft’s deal

Nokia takes aim at Apple?s iPhone with new viral campaign [video]

Nokia launched a viral advertising campaign this past weekend to support the launch of its upcoming Lumia 900 smartphone. A website called Smartphone Beta Test targets Apple’s iPhone through a series of videos that remind users of “antennagate,” the device’s fragile design and the trouble of using the handset in direct sunlight. The website features Saturday Night Live alumnus Chris Parnell impatiently waiting for a countdown to expire, which is scheduled to run out on April 6th. While there is no mention of Nokia or the Lumia 900, WPCentral discovered a single Java script link-back to Nokia.com in the website’s source code, more or less confirming the company’s involvement. The Nokia Lumia 900 is scheduled to launch on April 8th
