On April 8 Nokia will bring its Windows Phone Lumia 900 to AT&T for only $99.99.  This is a Windows phone, and the user experience is decidedly different from an Android or an iPhone.  If you’re all-Microsoft the way many iPhone users are all-Apple, and many Android users are all-Google, this phone may work for you. With Xbox Live and Microsoft Exchange integration, the Lumia 900 takes advantage of what Microsoft does best. And, while the Windows Phone App Marketplace is small, all the classics are there, with more on the way. When Nokia announced the tech specs of its new Lumia 900, I was skeptical. On paper, the phone underwhelms, but in practice it’s pretty awesome. The Lumia 900 takes full advantage of AT&T’s LTE network without encountering the classic AT&T problem of the dreaded dropped call. If I was an all-Windows person, I wouldn’t think twice; even with the obligatory 2-year contract, for $99 dollars this is a lot of phone for the buck! .  This is a Windows phone, and the user experience is decidedly different from an Android or an iPhone.  If you’re all-Microsoft the way many iPhone users are all-Apple, and many Android users are all-Google, this phone may work for you.
