The handset made its first appearance at the recent CES 2012 show, and now according to an article on TechRadar UK customers will be able to get the device in June. The Carphone Warehouse has listed the device on its website with an icon that says expected June 2012.

So far the company has not revealed any plans for the device launching outside the US, and believed to be exclusive to AT&T where it is thought to be launching in March. The 4.3-inch device has come in for a lot of praise by people that saw it at the CES show, and is basically a larger version of the Lumia 800 but with a wide angle lens on the rear camera and a front facing camera.

With the device launching in June in the UK it may be around the time of the Windows Apollo update, but UK users will have no use for the 4G LTE chip that US consumers will be able to use. Do you like the look of the Nokia Lumia 900?

It is being claimed that mobile carriers in the country have put pressure on the Finnish manufacturer to lower the price of the upcoming handset. According to a report on the FT, this is because of weak sales of its flagship device the Lumia 800 that was released last year.

The Lumia 710 has been on sale in the US since the beginning of the month, and as we reported previously can already be had for free. It is expected to be launched in the UK in the coming weeks, and Nokia is believed to have been in talks with the operators in the country.

Two sources are claiming that it was requested that the price to be lowered, with the operators wanting a budget offering from the company. It is now thought that the handset will be offered to consumers on a two year contract for around £20 per month. Nokia are believed to have wanted the pricing set for £25 per month.

Nokia’s first Windows Phone device, the Lumia 800, was priced to compete with the iPhone and high-end handsets on the Android platform. But during the run up to the busy Christmas period it failed to break into the top ten handset sales. The first official sales for the handset should be made available by Nokia later this month.

The trouble Nokia is currently facing is consumers are seemly unwilling to give the company’s new smartphones a try. This is more based on previous experiences and not just the price, which means Nokia, has an even bigger job on its hands winning people over.

According to FT.com mobile carriers are reporting mixed preorders for the handset compared to other platforms. Two separate sources from mobile carriers have said the device has had much lower orders compared to the iPhone 4S, and handsets on the Android platform.

But carrier Orange are painting a different picture and said the Nokia Lumia 800 has seen the most successful Nokia launch, and had proven to be highly popular with preorders. The fact that the company was giving away a free Xbox 360 console as we reported previously may have had something to do with it though.

Chief executive of Nokia Stephen Elop has said sales of the device will grow over time without revealing any targets. One of the mobile operators said it has to be expected that the device got off to a slow start compared to rivals, as Nokia was only just coming back into the market.

Meanwhile WinRumors are reporting that Nokia are getting ready to release an update for the handset already. This is to fix some address issues with Microsoft Exchange 2003, and also a voicemail notification problem. There are also some improvements related to battery life part of the update. It has been revealed that the update is already in the hands of carriers for testing before release.

According to the European general manager of international carrier Telefónica, who are also the parent company of 02, the devices are “too expensive”. Simon Lee-Smith said to Telecoms.com that the devices were not “at the right price point”, and basically said if the company wants to shift the devices in any great number Nokia has to provide handsets that are more “cost-competitive”.

He continued by saying that Nokia was now starting to listen to its various carrier partners, and believed the company would start providing handsets next year that would be more competitively priced. He believes the problems with price have been related to handsets already available such as the N8 and N9, as well as the recently announced Lumia 800.

When the device was revealed at Nokia World, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said the Lumia 800 would sell for €420 before subsidies or tax. Lee-Smith feels manufacturers can be unrealistic with what consumers and carriers will pay for a new handset. He said that companies think that a device costing €400 or more is normal, but customers won’t pay that sort of money for a handset that “doesn’t differentiate sufficiently”.

He feels that just improving the specifications of smartphones is not good enough, and many carriers won’t pay higher prices for devices that just have larger screens of higher spec cameras. What do you think does Nokia need to have cheaper smartphones?
