Nokia Puts a Price on the Phone that Could Define Its Future
So, Nokia’s Lumia 900 will cost just $100, starting April 8. Not bad for a LTE-compatible smartphone with 4.3inch display, a 1.4 GHz processor, and a 8 megapixel camera.

But the device is hardly a step ahead of the latest iPhone or Android devices. So both Nokia and Microsoft must be hoping that the price along will be enough persuade many people to give it a try.
