Nokia Developer Newsletter confirms Nokia Lumia 900 March release

Thanks to Paul Thurrott we have been expecting the Nokia Lumia 900 to be released in March this year.  Nokia and Microsoft has however been very coy at CES, only talking in vague terms of ‘next few months’.

Now the official Nokia Developer Newsletter has blown the secret, confirming that the handset is expected in March this year.  Paul Thurrott pinned it down more specifically to March 18th, which would be the third Sunday of the month.

Unfortunately similar leaks have not accompanied the HTC Titan II, so we do not know when Nokia’s main Windows Phone LTE competitor will be hitting the network, but it is rumoured that it may be sooner than the Lumia 900.

Initial reactions to the announcement of the Nokia Lumia 900 on the ground at CES 2012 in Las Vegas! Feedback from Juan from http://www.yourtechreport.com/ - Richard from http://www.dotnetrocks.com/ and Chris from http://micronokiadev.wordpress.com/

Samsung Omnia W v Nokia Lumia 800

A comparision of the Samsung Omnia W against the Nokia Lumia 800.

Official: Lumia 900 doesn’t use PenTile Technology

Some confusion raised about the Nokia Lumia 900′s display after it was introduced: it was not clear if like the Lumia 800, the Lumia 900 used a PenTile AMOLED display. The PenTile display technology shares green sub pixels with other RGB pixels, so you get one-third fewer sub-pixels in total due to the new arrangement. In fact, a 4.3″ screen would have the same resolution as a 4″ display using PenTile technology! In a full RGB panel, each pixel is made up with 12 sub pixels, whereas in a PenTile display, only 8 sub pixels are present. The effects a PenTile display produces are often noticeable by the end user: some colors look grainy and fuzzy, and whites have an odd tone to them. In summary, PenTile displays aren’t as sharp and accurate as a full RGB matrix display: they are cheaper versions of the real thing.

It has been officially confirmed to me by Nokia, that the upcoming Nokia Lumia 900 does not use a PenTile arrangement. This means the Lumia 900 is using a full RGB matrix display, which will result in a much better experience. It’s nice to see that Nokia is really trying to offer the best experience possible by improving the quality of the components and materials they use. A full RGB matrix display will ensure that images look nice and sharp on the Lumia 900′s screen.

Nokia Could Sell 37 Million Windows Phones This Year

If 2011 was the year of Windows Phone’s slow slog to market, 2012 may be the year of its breakout.
With a decent selection of handsets in the marketplace — including Nokia’s newly announced LTE device, the Lumia 900 — Windows Phone is poised for some respectable market-share gains, particularly if Microsoft promotes it as aggressively as some expect it to.
Indeed, Morgan Stanley expects shipments of Nokia’s new Windows Phones to hit 37 million units in 2012, and 64 million units in 2013.
Add to this Morgan Stanley’s estimates for HTC’s Windows Phone handsets, and you get shipments of 43 million this year and 74 million the next. And that’s just those two OEMs alone. There are a few others for which the research house doesn’t provide estimates. Samsung, for example.
Pretty good, considering Microsoft’s smartphone efforts to date, and Windows Phone’s youth. One could argue that it’s unrealistic to expect blowout sales from these first Windows Phone smartphones, particularly given the market power of their competition — the iPhone and a growing array of Android handsets. Microsoft was never going to just stroll into the smartphone market with a slick OS and convert legions of consumers who have been ignoring it for years.
And the company knows it.
“We’ve got a lot of room to go in selling Windows Phones,” CEO Steve Ballmer said during his remarks at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this week. “But I feel very much like the work we’re doing is really going to pay off.”
