Android updates and releases won’t get all the glory this morning as T-Mobile launches the Windows Phone 8X and Nokia Lumia 810 to the world. We’ve long since called for a November 14th launch for both devices and we’re happy to see our intel come to fruition as future Windows Phone 8 owners now have two reasons to smile on T-Mobile.
I’ve spent some time with the Lumia 810 this week and while it’s a blocky device, I’ve come to once again appreciate the “zip” which is found while working with Windows Phone. Expect a full preview later today and a full review next week.
The Nokia Lumia features a 4.3” OLED WVGA Clear Black display, 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 8GB internal memory, 1GB RAM, HSPA+ 42Mbps capable modem, 8 megapixel camera, 1.2 megapixel Skype HD certified front-facing camera, Nokia Drive, Nokia Transit, and Nokia music.
