Nokia recently announced their first Windows Phone smartphone for the US, the Nokia Lumia 710, and they are expected to unveil a number of Windows Phone handsets at CES 2012 in January, which may include the rumored Nokia Lumia 900. The Nokia Lumia 800 launched in Europe last month, and Nokia hasn’t yet provided any details on when the device will launch in the US, but now it would appear that Nokia will launch the Lumia 800 in the US shortly, probably at CES in January.Ever wondered why Nokia concentrates more on Europe than US, having released their flagship Nokia Lumia 800 across the pond before deciding to roll it out Stateside many months later? Either way, the age old adage “better late than never” applies here, and as the Nokia Lumia 800 arrives at the US, it is only a matter of time before this handset joins the ranks of T-Mobile’s Nokia Lumia 710. The FCC documents concerning the Nokia Lumia 800 do reveal support for 850MHz and 1900MHz 3G bands in the US, missing out on 1700MHz, which means this is most probably making its way towards the stables of AT&T rather than T-Mobile. If everything else goes well with the FCC approval process, then do expect to see the Windows Phone-powered Lumia 800 to arrive sometime in the first three months of next year. Hopefully it will arrive sooner rather than later, as newer, more powerful handsets would have rolled out by then which could make this phone less attractive.
The Lumia 800 has now appeared at the FCC, and it could be headed to US mobile carrier AT&T, Nokia could also possibly launch an LTE version of the Lumia 800 as well as other devices as the company has previously said we will see their first LTE Windows Phone devices in 2012.
