The Consumer Electronics Show is not known to be a place where a lot of mobile phone news is typically broken. Unfortunately for Microsoft though, they need to take every available opportunity to market their mobile platform: Windows Phone 7. With that, Microsoft’s CEO, Steve Ballmer, seemed to be popping up all over CES on Monday. Ballmer first appeared on stage at AT&T’s developer event. There they announced that AT&T will be releasing the HTC Titan II. Later Ballmer showed up during Nokia’s press conference. Together they announced the launch of Nokia’s flagship phone, the Lumia 900. Then again, during Microsoft’s CES keynote, Ballmer spent the first major segment of their time discussing Windows Phone.

HTC Titan IIHTC’s Titan II is a follow up to the Titan that was just released last fall. Most of the specs are the same: 4.7″ Super LCD display, 1.5 GHz processor, 16 GB onboard storage. There are two very important new features though. It will be the first Windows Phone to offer LTE. HTC also upgraded the camera to a 16 MP shooter! I’m not sure that a 16 MP camera on a phone, with a tiny lens, makes any sense, but who am I to say? The Titan II will be available on AT&T. |

Nokia Lumia 900This was the phone all Windows Phone fans have been waiting for, or at least that’s what Nokia hopes! Their flagship phone sports a 4.3″ AMOLED Clear Black display, 1.4 GHz processor, 16 GB of internal storage, and an 8 MP shooter with a Carl Zeiss (2.2/28) lens. It will be offered in black and cyan. The Lumia 900 will be exclusive to AT&T. |

Nokia Lumia 710The Lumia 710 is the entry-level model in the Lumia line, but it is by no means a low-end phone. It has a 3.7″ AMOLED Clear Black display, along with a 1.4 GHz processor, 8 GB of internal storage, and a 5 MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics. It can be purchased from T-Mobile in the United States on January 11th for only $49.99! |

Microsoft and Verizon must not get along 🙁 I had to buy a Galaxy Nexus because I was tired of waiting 🙂 Glad I did, because who knows how long I’d have to wait for a decent new Windows Phone.
