USA: Nokia working hard with Verizon. AT&T Lumia 900 4G Cyan sells out faster than pancakes.

Nokia working hard with Verizon.

Nokia will add carriers—especially CDMA carriers like Verizon Wireless—that could help Nokia's growth. Nokia's U.S. president Chris Weber said he's working on that.

"We're not making any announcements, but we understand the importance of Verizon and we're working hard to make that a reality," he said.

The Nokia Lumia 900 is winning over AT&T sales people, but he wouldn't commit to trying to claim any new territory soon. After all, they're selling Lumias faster than they can make them. "Demand has been outstripping supply for the first couple of weeks, and we've been working hard to rectify that," "The demand for cyan phones is significantly outpacing supply. When you give people something different from a design perspective colors, etc, it really stands out, and consumers want that." Nokia's U.S. president Chris Weber said Tuesday.

The Lumia phones are getting good reviews in stores for Nokia's collection of exclusive apps like ESPN and PGA Tour, the colorful design, and the phones' value for money, he said.

The inclusion of Dolby technologies in the Nokia smartphones brings an extra dimension to the capabilities of the phone, transforming it into an HD mobile entertainment device, which can output high-definition (HD) content with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1-channel surround sound to HD-ready TVs, audio/video receivers (AVRs), and home theater systems. Meanwhile, Dolby Headphone, built into the device, transforms stereo content into a personal surround sound experience over any headphones, creating a more natural, engaging, and authentic sound experience that the user can enjoy for longer.

“The new Nokia 808 PureView is the latest smartphone to showcase Dolby technologies, to deliver an outstanding entertainment experience that is perfectly aligned with this groundbreaking phone’s capabilities. Meanwhile, the software upgrade for other Nokia smartphones also unleashes the power of Dolby technology to bring cinematic 5.1 surround sound that transforms music, movies, and games into a personal surround sound experience like no other,” said Andreas Spechtler, Regional Vice President, EMEA, Dolby Laboratories.

In MWC2012 Dolby launched, two exciting services designed to provide high-quality surround sound content for Nokia devices with embedded Dolby technology.

USA: Q1 2012. AT&T posted solid profit and sales growth.Thanks to smartphones and wireless data.

US operator AT&T posted solid Q1 profit and sales growth on the back of strong seasonal smartphone sales and an extra US$1 billion in wireless data revenue from a year earlier.

Consolidated revenue rose 1.8 percent to US$31.8 billion, while net income came in at US$3.6 billion, or US$0.60 per share, up from US$3.4 billion, or US$0.57 per share, in the year-earlier quarter. Earnings were slightly ahead of the US$0.57 per share predicted by analysts in a Thomson Reuters poll.

Total wireless revenues, which include equipment sales, were up 5.4 percent on the year to US$16.1 billion, while data revenues increased by more than US$1 billion (19.9 percent) to US$6.1 billion.

AT&T also sold 5.5 million smartphones in the period, exceeding a first-quarter sales record set last year, and representing more than 78 percent of postpaid device sales. It activated 4.3 million iPhones, and added 460,000 new tablets, tethering plans, aircards, mobile Wi-Fi hot spots and other data-only device subscribers.

"Smartphone and branded computing device sales continue to set a record pace, mobile data revenues were up nearly 20 percent, and we achieved this growth with expanding margins,” said CEO Randall Stephenson.

AT&T's first-quarter wireless operating income margin was 27.2 percent versus 25.8 percent in the year-earlier quarter, while the wireless EBITDA service margin was 41.6 percent, compared with 39 percent a year ago.

AT&T posted a net increase in total wireless subscribers of 726,000 in Q1 to reach 103.9 million in service, just slightly behind the 734,000 added by rival Verizon Wireless in the same period.

On the fixed-line side, AT&T's revenues came in at US$14.9 billion, down 0.8 percent versus the year-earlier quarter.

Lumia 900 for AT&T LTE networks in B&W colors, available for pre-order in Microsoft Stores

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.

Two Microsoft store employess confirmed reports that they’re accepting $25 deposits on the flagship Nokia Lumia 900 Windows Phone (on AT&T). They stated rather factually that you could request white or black Lumia 900 hardware which they expect to release in the second half of March, after the 15th.

Unfortunately, they weren’t so certain on pricing. One employee figured the Nokia handset would run about $200, while the other conferred with the manager who wasn’t given concrete details but inferred it’d be made available between $150 – $199.

The timing lines up well with the rumored March 18th launch date, but I’m somewhat bummed they couldn’t (yet?) corroborate a $100 price tag to undercut the competition.

HTC unveiled the Titan II 4G LTE windows phone for AT&T.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.

HTC has introduced the HTC TITAN II, its first Windows Phone that runs on a 4G LTE network.

The new smartphone includes the largest display among Windows Phones, a16-megapixel digital camera and access to 4G LTE speeds.

The HTC TITAN II features a 4.7-inch super LCD capacitive touchscreen display, a 1,730mAh lithium ion battery and offers quick and easy access to the latest movies and TV shows via HTC Watch and on-the-go gaming with Xbox LIVE.

HTC TITAN II is provided with access to AT&T's 4G LTE network paired with Qualcomm's 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S2 processor to deliver fast web surfing, streaming and downloading and also includes the Live Tile display that brings friend and family groups to life and delivers the latest updates and news from social networks directly to the home screen.

In addition, the new Windows Phone also enables 720p HD video recording with the rear-facing camera, as well as on-the-go video chat over Wi-Fi with its 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.

HTC TITAN II enhances connectivity, efficiency and productivity for busy consumers with its large on-screen keyboard and instant access to Windows Phone Office Hub, Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Outlook Mobile.

HTC CEO Peter Chou said HTC's history of innovation in 4G technology includes delivering the first 4G-powered devices to each major carrier in the US, so it is exciting today to continue that leadership with the first 4G LTE Windows Phone, the HTC TITAN II.

"This full-featured smartphone combines HTC's design with AT&T's high-speed 4G LTE network and Microsoft's powerful Windows Phone software, giving people more of what they crave," said Chou.

AT&T rumored launch is set to March 18,2012, apparently putting the debut on the exact same day as the Nokia Lumia 900, another Windows Phone. The $200 price with a two-year contract is standard for a high-end model from AT&T, but above the rumored price of Nokia's upcoming rival device.

Specifications summary:

This phone will ship with Windows Phone 7.5 Mango when it is released. Customers will be receiving a 4.7-inch device with a Super LCD display. It will be powered by a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S2 processor, will contain 16GB of storage, and will have 512MB of RAM.

Perhaps the most impressive feature of the HTC Titan II is its 16MP rear-facing camera with an f/2.6 28mm wide-angle lens. In addition, this will be one of the first Windows Phones to be able to access the super-fast AT&T LTE 4G network.
