Last week we got tipped from Paul Thurrott that we would see an announcement from AT&T about their LTE enabled Windows Phones coming in 2012 at the CES show in Las Vegas. As a matter of fact, the Nokia ACE, the HTC Radiant, and the Samsung Mendel will be the LTE trifecta for Microsoft.  Originally [...]

Pocketnow has unearthed some more specs and device details about the long awaited Nokia Windows Phone.  The device will actually be the Lumia 900. the one we have come to know as the Ace.  Complete with a 4.3” screen and a very generous 1830mAh battery.

There’s a lot of noise today about upcoming LTE Windows Phones and Paul Thurrott is now sharing some new information.

I guess it’s a good investment if they make money from them.   AT&T* announced today that it has received all required regulatory approvals [...]

Nokia Lumia 800 passes through FCC with AT&T 3G bands 850/1900 MHz bands but not T-Mobile AWS spectrum support. Probably AT&T would announce this device or its partners would pick-up to sell through their channels in a few weeks with a carrier subsidy. I anticipate AT&T would price this device for $199 with 2 year [...]

Reading all this stuff about patent infringement of intellectual property lately I got to thinking. What about the Carriers?

But once they take possession of an OS, and work their magic (basically adding useless crap) on it, have [...]

The rumors have been circulating and now it has become official that AT&T has given up on acquiring T-Mobile from Deutsche Telekom. In the agreement formed with Deutsche Telekom back in March 2011, AT&T would pay 4 billion dollars should the merger fall through.  I cannot even imagine how painful writing that check is going [...]
