Nokia Lumia 900 for $99? Yessss Please!

BGR claims that they just received AT&T's 2012 roadmap from a trusted source, and among the things that are present on that roadmap is the Nokia Lumia 900, obviously. It is expected to be released on March 18th at a mind boggling price of $99.99 on a 2-year contract! Who would resist a very sleek phone for that price? Not me, not everyone. Hopefully.

Anyway, what are you seeing above is the photo of the Nokia Lumia 900 sans the AT&T branding. As we all know, it is still expected to be released globally this year.

Smart Communications recently announced that their network will be "LTE-ready" by mid-2012. So hopefully, they will begin to offer some LTE devices by that time.
