Until now the 4G LTE-capable Nokia Ace (or Lumia 900, if you prefer) has been largely a mystery. We got a peek at some leaked press shots last week (pictured), but all we’ve heard is that it’ll hit AT&T shelves on March 18, it’ll be powered by the Windows Phone platform, and that it’ll come equipped with an LTE radio.
Today, however, PocketNow claims to have confirmed the specs on this bad boy.
If true, we’re looking at a 4.3-inch WVGA display (a tad larger than what we’ve seen so far out of the Lumia line), an 8-megapixel camera, a front-facing camera, and 512MB of RAM. The phone features T-Mo’s 1700MHz band, so there should be a way to hop onto the pink network shortly after the phone’s release.
According to PocketNow, the Lumia 900 weighs in at 160 grams with a waist line of about 12mm. The source also confirms that this particular handset will run Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, rather than the incremental Tango update.
All in all, this looks like a solid flagship from Microsoft and Nokia, and we expect to see the official announcement cross the wires at CES or Mobile World Congress. Stay tuned.
