Nokia is currently selling the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 handset all over the world. Since a few days ago, T-Mobile has also started offering Nokia Lumia 710 handset for its users.

Nokia Lumia 800 handset is also finally heading to the U.S., but there’s no carrier support. You’ll be buying unlocked variant of the Lumia 800 handset at Microsoft’s stores.

So, the verdict is that Nokia Lumia 900 beats both the Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 handsets with its bigger display, 4G LTE connectivity, powerful battery, wide-angled cameras, as well as the exclusive contents including Univision app, ESPN Sports Hub, CNN App for Windows Phone and AT&T U-verse Mobile apps.

However, the specs alone are no longer enough incentive to purchase one of these handsets. The real concern that should be focused right now is whether Windows Phone is a viable competitor?
