Rumor: Improved versions of the Nokia Lumia 900 will allegedly include 12 megapixel camera and coming to other carriers in Q3

This information comes from a source at a rival wireless carrier and not from the Microsoft marketing documentation I've referenced repeatedly. I have not confirmed this with other sources.

According to this source, AT&T has a 45-day exclusive hold on the Lumia 900. After that time, other carriers can negotiate with Nokia for a version of the handset that will work on their networks. The source speculates that T-Mobile (and probably Verizon, possibly Sprint) will be getting some version of the 900 after it's been released on AT&T, most likely in the third quarter of 2012.These improved versions of the 900 will allegedly include an improved, 12 megapixel camera, the source revealed.

Nokia Ace/Nokia Lumia 900 pics – front camera, bigger screen and AT&T logo

The pocketnow folks are at it again with a very clear image of a not yet announced, but much expected Nokia phone, the Nokia Ace. Looks pretty real.There’s a Nokia Logo shifted all the way to the left, above that a prominent front facing camera and on the right, AT&T branding. 4G signal might just be there for the sake of it.

While that reveal by itself may not mean much, the fact that a front-facing camera is visible in this shot suggests that there may well be other differences between this Windows Phone-powered handset and this similar-looking Lumia 800 (besides the rumored addition of LTE).

Rumour: Nokia Lumia 900 coming to AT&T, not Verizon

Its a slow news day so we will pass on this anonymous tip WMPoweruser has received today.

According to WMpoweruser  tipster the Nokia Ace will indeed be announced at CES and hit AT&;T in March. So far, so good, but the bad news is that Verizon is out of the game, and that the handset will not be coming to CDMA carriers at all.

The tip is obviously unverified so take it with a pinch of salt, but it would be consistent with other news and rumours going around.
