Of course, that $50 price isn’t for an outright purchase. You will have to sign up for a qualifying contract. That said, at least you’ll be getting upgraded to Windows Phone 7.8, complete with the updated Start screen. Tiles can get resized, for instance, but it is going to bug you this fall when the first batch of Windows Phone 8 devices start hitting shelves.

What do you think? Is the price slash enough to make the Nokia Lumia 900 enticing for folks considering a new smartphone? Or are they still more inclined to get a new Android device or iPhone? Does the pink version persuade or dissuade you?

Yes, Windows Phone has made its way over to Finland. The squared off edges and corners give us a general sense that the Sea Ray (which is presumably just a codename for now) has the same kind of design scheme overall as the Nokia N9, except for the obvious OS difference. In this case, it looks like the new Nokia is running Mango. That’s pretty suitable for the first fruit of the relationship.

Not much in terms of details has been discovered about the Sea Ray, aside from its relatively slender profile, physical camera button on the side, and slight adjustment of the LED flash placement. Nokia has always produced some world class hardware. Let’s hope that WP7 is the world class software that’ll bring their stock prices back up and, for their sake, bring some market share back to the one mega-giant of the cellular world.
