Nokia was quite bold with their US Nokia Lumia 900 launch a.k.a the Smartphone Beta Test. So I would’t put the recent wake up call against Apple past them… do I hear you ask what is the wake up call ?

Nokia Lumia 900
It looks like the folks from MobiCity has got the Lumia 900 in stock for $769.00 , if we take a look at how well ( and fast ) these things were sold in the US. I suggest you grab one as soon as you can, because they wont last long. They provide a SIM unlocked Nokia Lumia 900 ( with NextG support ) and with 12 months warranty and it would seem the only available color at this stage is black.

HTC_Titan_4G
It looks like the new HTC Titan II Windows Phone will be coming to Australia in May 2012 and would make it Australia’s first 4G Windows Phone device ( since there is no word on the Nokia lumia 900 which runs LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100 while Australia’s only 4G network operator Telstra offers 1800MHz LTE Network ). The 16 MP camera ( see how the Titan 2 compares to the lumia 900 camera ) and the 4G support are probably the Titan 2′s major selling points. There is no word on pricing for this device just yet but there are rumors of a $79 plan and an outright price of around the mid-$800′s. via wpdownunder

Developed Down Under Windows Phone
First question that pops to mind ? Why the need for an app that ” adds one extra step to download apps from the marketplace ” ? This app has a specific purpose.. highlights local apps that are useful for Aussies.
With an ever growing number of apps on the marketplace it is certainly getting a tad difficult to find what you are looking for especially if you are looking for local apps, granted the marketplace has a localized version but they might not often cover the local apps. To combat this issue Sheeds over at WPDownUnder proposed an idea ( inspired by the #wp7nl community ) where there will be an app that would be available for Aussies consumers that only shows apps by Aussie Developers and highlights the ones that are targeted towards the Australian consumers. Niall Ginsbourg, an Aussie developer from MobileWares jumped on board with this idea to lend his dev skills to make this app a reality and thus Developed Down Under was born ( kudos for the name goes to Garry Holden of Handiware ).
