USA: T-Mobile announces the Nokia Lumia 810


Surprise! T-Mobile USA have announced a totally different Lumia smartphone by Nokia. The Finnish phone maker was able to announce two Lumias namely the Lumia 920 and the Lumia 820. These two Windows Phone devices are exclusively being carrier by AT&T, by the way. The Lumia 810, exclusive via T-Mobile (should we expect other Lumias for Sprint and Verizon?), sports 4G connectivity and is scheduled to be "available in the coming weeks". As for pricing, T-Mobile was not able to mention it on their presser but the device will apparently be available via T-Mobile plans. 




As for the device's specifications, Nokia and T-Mobile was a bit silent about it. But referring to T-Mobile's presser, the Nokia Lumia 810 sports a 4.3" OLED WVGA  display protected by a layer of Corning's Gorilla Glass. Of course, underneath all that is Nokia's ClearBlack Technology that enhances the blacks on the screen making the other colors more vibrant. It has an 8MP rear facing camera and a 1.3MP front camera.

I will just have to make a different post if I get hold of the device's detailed technical specifications. For more information about the Lumia 810, you can go ahead and check out its product page.
