HTC Titan II Pricing and release date for US AT&T customers has just been unveiled. The device launches on April 8th for $199.99 ( on contract ) which is almost double compared to what you can pick up the Lumia 900 for. Spec wise the device offers a whooping 16-megapixel camera which is a lot more than what usually comes on any windows phone and the Front camera is around 1.3. The device also sports a 4.7-inch super LCD display , 1.5 Ghz Processor, Li-Ion 1730 mAh and an array of sensor which include Accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass. But with the media attention the Lumia 900 has received , the excellent marketing efforts of Nokia and the $100 drop in price I really don’t see a lot of users going after the HTC Titan 2. via verge
Around 3 weeks back, just prior to the 2012 Mobile World Congress, we reported about the Nokia Lumia 719 and it passing its Bluetooth SIG. While we all hoped that this would be one of the announced models at the 2012 MWC, that was not to be the case. However, the Nokia Lumia 719 is back in the limelight. The official Chinese government radio management agency has listed this mysterious Windows Phone Nokia Lumia 900 as passing its certification and will be joining the HTC Titan as the first Windows Phones to be marketed in the enormous Chinese wireless market. It is not known which build the 719 will be running, however, I would have to believe it’s Tango. [click to continue…]

With today wrapping up the 2012 Mobile World Congress, there are no more surprises left to uncover. A month’s worth of rumors, stabs in the dark, and wishful thinking can be laid to rest and we can begin discussing what it is we learned at the MWC regarding WP and 2012. There was some good news, ”could have done without” news, 2 new devices, and even an announcement of a long awaited app that made its way to the WP Marketplace during the trade show. If you were hoping for multiple devices to be unveiled, well you’re going to have to wait a little longer. Read on to get all the WP news from the 2012 MWC…
PocketNow have leaked pictures of the, as yet unannounced, entry level Lumia 610 mobile phone from Nokia. The budget handset is rumored to have a 3 MegaPixel camera and a tiny 3.2″ screen with an interchangable rear panel, much like the bigger Lumia 710. No other details have yet been leaked so we will only have to wait a little while longer.
Nokia have put a lot of effort into their marketing campaigns, by running TV adverts and program sponsorship. Australia will start seeing “The Amazing Everyday” adverts starting on 1st March and running for a whole month, to promote the Lumia product launch. I have no doubt that Nokia will push the boat out in this market, Just as they have everywhere else.
There have been several countries that have been left behind when it comes to second generation Windows Phones. Canada is now confirmed to get 2nd generation support from Microsoft, by receiving the HTC Radar, Nokia 710 and 800. That left Australia as one of the larger countries still remaining without any 2nd gen. devices. With device marketshare dropping as well as a slip in mobile browser marketshare, Australia will be getting the shot in the arm they so desperately need to positively reflect the currently small and slow international growth trend of WP. Fortunately for WP and Australia, the arrival of the 2nd generation devices has marked an immediate increase in both statistical markers across Europe. With an Australian market hungry to be unpdated to 2nd gen. devices, WP should see an improvement in sales with 2 new models on the way. Read on past the break to find out which models, where, and when…
Nokia are announcing new handsets at Mobile World Congress 2012. one of which, the Nokia Lumia 610, has just passed through certification in Indonesia.

As the handset has not yet been officially announced, the specifications I have listed is to be placed firmly in the rumor category.
