Carphone Warehouse reveals Nokia Lumia 900 launch date

MOBILE PHONE RETAILER The Carphone Warehouse has mistakenly announced the Lumia 900 launch date of June in the UK.

A coming soon page for Nokia's upcoming handset was put online by the firm for customers to register their interest and tell them that it will arrive in June. It has since been taken down, presumably because Nokia wasn't so happy about it.

We have spoken with The Carphone Warehouse, which simply told us, "The page was put online in error and has now been taken down."

Nokia announced the Lumia 900 earlier this month at the consumer electronics show (CES) in Las Vegas. It's effectively a bigger version of the Lumia 800, which along with the Lumia 710 has sold an estimated 1.3 million units.

We haven't heard back from Nokia about the launch date but when it does tip up the Lumia 900 will offer a 4.3in touchscreen, an 8MP rear facing camera and Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. µ
