Nokia Lumia 900 available for pre-order in the UK

UK retailer Clove has gotten official word from Nokia about the price of the Nokia Lumia 900 and they've put it up for pre-order. The 900 was first unveiled for AT&T but the global version of the phone was announced just a few days ago at the MWC.

The global Lumia 900 is pretty much the same handset as the AT&T version, with the notable exclusion of LTE. You still get a 4.3" ClearBlack AMOLED screen, 8MP camera with 720p video and 16GB of storage all encased in a polycarbonate unibody.

Anyway, the Nokia Lumia 900 is available for pre-order from Clove for ?530 (?635, $845). The exact date of availability is still not clear (all Clove knows is it's going to be "some time Q2"). They are also not sure what color options they'll get, but will release the info as soon as they have it.

Carphone Warehouse have a page for the Lumia 900 too, but that's only so you can sign up for a notification when the phone becomes available. They do list May as the month they expect the phone to be available.

Here's the preorder page if you're interested. Also, you can read our hands-on with the Lumia 900 if you're not familiar with it already.

Nokia Lumia 610 and Asha 305 get Indonesian certification

Indonesia's FCC counterpart, Postel, is proving to be an interesting source of info on new phones. Their database contains two Nokias that aren?t official yet - the rumored Nokia Lumia 610 and a Nokia 305, which was unheard of until now.

Now, the database lists only the most basic info on the phone (if even that) but with rumors floating around that Nokia will announce three smartphones and three feature phones at the MWC, these numbers give us a glimpse of what will be announced.

The Nokia Lumia 610 is one of the phones expected to be unveiled in Barcelona and this listing confirms that it's a real device. Postel site reveals that the 610 will have 2G and 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but that's it (they only test if wireless devices are within specs, so that's all the info we can hope to get).

The Nokia 305 is probably an Asha device, but there's not even Wi-Fi/Bluetooth info on it. Judging by model number alone, it should take over from the Asha 303 as the new top of the line feature phone by Nokia.

A previous rumor claimed that a different set of Asha phones will be announced at the MWC, but there's no way to know for sure (other than waiting for a couple of weeks).
