Lumia 810 Announced, Headed to T-Mobile Soon

Here’s one to please the folks who were upset by the exclusive deals Nokia struck with At&t, just now T-Mobile have announced the Lumia 810 (yes 810, not 820) coming to them exclusively from Nokia. The 810 comes with a  4.3″ screen (WVGA/CBD), 8MP rear facing Camera, 1.2MP FFC (Skype Certified) and an all new design. The design itself seems to be aluminum or metal (or some very shiny poly-carbonate  perhaps a gloss black?) Cyan picture is definitely polycarb. with rounded corners (uh-oh 😛 ); however I’m honestly left wondering how we haven’t heard a peep of this device, as well why it wasn’t announced alongside the 820 & 920. Till now the full specs sheet hasn’t been announced, nor has there been any word about the variety of colors, but expect the internals of the phone to match those of the 820 (just a hunch).

The main noticeable difference besides the subtle design changes (the 820 seems more rounded across the back) is hte inclusion of wireless charging out of the box in the 810, as well as access to T-Mobiles 4G speeds.

*As usual no specific release date or pricing… great.
