Hopefully, Q has the LTE modem slot.... pocketnow.com More Nokia Lumia 900 "Ace" Details Revealed File under: News By: Evan Blass \|9:26 AM 3-Jan-12 \|85 Comments We've gotten some more information on the upcoming Nokia Ace for AT&T -- whose codename for the device is Eloko -- including confirmation that it is indeed the Lumia 900 which will be sold globally as Nokia's flagship Windows Phone. Although we thought that there was a chance Ace would ship with the Tango build of WP7, it's now been made clear that Mango will be the flavor of choice at launch. The main specs here should sound quite familiar to Microsoft observers: ~4.3-inch WVGA display, 512MB of RAM, eight-megapixel camera, and a capacious 1830mAh battery. Although it will almost certainly be sold carrier locked, Ace -- like most modern Nokia handsets -- will contain the 1700MHz band necessary for T-Mobile 3G, so we imagine that a workaround to unlock that functionality will arrive with the quickness. At 160 grams, Ace weighs 18 more grams than the Lumia 800, likely due to the combination of a bigger screen and LTE radio. Based on the phone's reported dimensions, we were able to mockup a comparison shot with the Lumia 800 using those leaked 900 images from last week. Although it's not apparent from the picture, both handsets have nearly an identical thickness of about 12 millimeters. We're expecting to fill in the final details in a few short days at CES, where Nokia has also been rumored to introduce another mid-range Windows Phone, the Lumia 719. Update: BGR had this one scooped so long ago that we actually forgot about it. Key spec addition: 1.4GHz Qualcomm CPU. And naturally, the screen uses Nokia's ClearBlack technology.

>>I guess all those times that you second guessed Nokia's strategy I should have asked whether you have ever run a multi billion dollar organization covering six continents<< Of course you could have and it would have been a valid argument with no effective rebuttal, just like now. But should Nokia have listened to me? (Well, turns out they should, but thats not good for my argument.) There are some smart guys on this board but we just don't have the first hand data to make any kind of an educated guess that Paul lets his underlings handle the successful parts of the business while he attends to creating the failures. Does it mean we shouldn't second guess on this board, of course not. That's what we do here. But lets be reminded that in the grander scheme of wireless technology things we are on a somewhat smaller plane than PJ, point being that I trust PJs knowledge and experience, and am more likely to choose his judgement over a guy on a chat board. If I did not I would not own the stock, just like I never owned Nokia when I was second guessing those guys. And I would definitely not own a stock where I thought the CEO should be replaced.
