AT&T shoots back, $100 off online purchases. Nokia Lumia 900 for $0?

| March 30, 2012 | 16 Replies

About an hour ago, Mike commented on Ali’s post (where Walmart undercut AT&T by offering the Nokia Lumia for $49.99 on contract) that it was possible to get the Lumia completely ‘free’ on contract. Well $0 anyway. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/03/30/walmart-one-ups-att-pre-order-lumia-900-now-for-49-99/ You could save ‘up to $100′ on select purchases. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/deals/100savings.jsp?partner=LinkShare&siteId=RC1iBbFoGm8-.eE3goRQeHgf.3GkgZOA4g I couldn’t quite get through the entire [...]

A real steal on what’s already one of the cheapest flagships phones ever- Granted they did get some of the techincal [...]

The site doesn’t explicitly mention these are from Nokia 808 PureView but the EXIF says it’s Nokia 808 PureView. Stefan Klenke took these shots in London for his blog. http://www.itchyi.co.uk/thelatest/2012/3/23/streetart-nightsights.html http://www.itchyi.co.uk/thelatest/2012/3/25/eerie-tree.html They’re shrunken down so you can’t look into the usual detail. Having said that they still look amazing! Also, as mentioned by Prashant in [...]

Yes, at least according to Nok Conv Finland and a study by Marketvision.  As Finnish companies update their phones, the most likely next OS is WP.

Nokia-Apple Nano Sim Fuss. Episode 2. RIM accuses Apple of cheating.

  There’s been some more movement since the last time we discussed the nano SIM battle between Apple and Nokia (+others). http://mynokiablog.com/2012/03/27/the-nano-sim-fuss-between-apple-and-nokia/ Nokia now appears to be refusing to license key patents for nano SIM in order to use Apple’s nano SIM for ‘free’ because Nokia believes Apple’s new design break’s ETSI’s own rules on [...]

  This morning when I wrote about the 808 PureView, I accidentally left Lumia in the title. Now there is no Lumia PureView yet, but Nokia have made enough explicit hints to suggest it is on the way. The title is on purpose this time. Prasenjit emailed us a job description he found whilst helping [...]

  Windows Phone had a really helpful feature called ‘Where’s My Phone Update’ which for some reason would no longer be maintained.  I forget the precise reasons, but I always felt that it was a shame given that at least allowing users to know the status of their update was really useful. As opposed to having [...]

Here’s another great little YouTube app – YouTube Pro. With this app you can download videos from YouTube onto your phone which you can watch later without an internet connection.

The Nokia Lumia 900 is available for pre-order at Rogers Canada. The phones is priced at 99.99CAD with data plans.  There are various  ’additional features for free’ with each price plan.

Joni shared this picture he took of what appears to be some Angry Birds soft drinks/fizzy-drinks. What flavours are they? Just lemonade? Are they actual official Angry Birds merchandise? Whilst we’re on the topic of Angry Birds, an old post we missed a while ago. A 35 foot Angry Bird on the Space Needle for [...]

The Nokia Lumia 900 had a close fight with the SGSII in the last round but it came through. Now it’s a David vs Goliath of Nokia Lumia 710 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I didn’t post at first as I thought it might be better to see Nokia Lumia 900 vs SGN. I’m sure those [...]

It’s a completely transparent phone (battery, and all internals and all – perhaps all the gear is around the edges :p) About “My Dream Nokia” I’m sure you’ve dreamt up your PERFECT Nokia device/UI.

Here’s a recent hands on of the Nokia 808 PureView. At least I hope so – I waited to see the date and it says 24th March. It’s looking better and better each time I see it. I’ve never seen Symbian looking so smooth. Look at this picture of the flowers. Note, it appears washed [...]

  I’m not one anymore to tinker about with phones (prefer them to work with minimal effort, and also I want to know that any issues I see, if any are caused just by normal usage). But some people like that option. WPCentral reports that a new version of root tools ads to the full [...]

Filmed at the end of February, this was the Nokia Lumia Challenge.
