Dubbed the Lumia 900, the device builds on the powerful design of the Lumia 800 and adds some great new upgrades to the mix. It's Nokia's first LTE handset and it was built exclusively for AT&T.

For those that liked the Lumia 800's design but wanted a bigger screen and front-facing camera, this phone is for you.

The Lumia 900 has a 4.3" screen with a AMOLED ClearBlack display at 800x480. The screen on the Lumia 800 was one of the nicest I've seen -- next to the Retina Display on the iPhone 4/4S -- so expect this to pop with the blacks and the colors.

In addition to the 8-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, the Lumia 900 also has a front-facing camera for video chat and self-portraits.

Users who are in an area covered by AT&T's LTE network can experience true 4G speeds. If you are outside that area, it falls back on the still speeds HSPA+.

Price and release information weren't revealed -- but we hope we see this one hitting AT&T stores soon.

The Lumia 800 is easily one of the best looking and best feeling handsets I've had a chance to review. If the Lumia 900 can deliver the goods -- and on a major network like AT&T -- Nokia and Windows Phone might be able to make some inroads in the U.S. market.
