Well, lucky for you, we're not so greedy and you'll get your own shot at Nokia's latest and greatest... eventually. Carphone Warehouse has the dual-camera sporting Mango phone listed as "coming soon" with an expected launch date of June 2012. These plans are clearly still unofficial at the moment, but you can sign up for more info from the outlet as it becomes available. The biggest question, though, is whether or not the Lumia 900 will ship with LTE on board. The product page makes no mention of 4G and, with compatible networks still in trial stages at best, we wouldn't get our hopes up. Still, even without "blazingly fast" downloads, the front-facing cam, RGB matrix screen and beefy battery present plenty of reason for excitement.

The channel inserted Lumia branding into its second-long station-ident clips ( one of the longer blips is pictured above), too short to include a clear notification of the sponsorship relationship -- in contravention of rule 9.19 of the Broadcasting code. The channel objected on the grounds that it would have been impossible to properly insert a fair warning into the blips, but the regulator was customarily dry: "If it is too brief for text or audio to convey the necessary sponsorship relationship, the item should not be used as sponsorship vehicle." As the campaign has ended, only the channel will bear the brunt of the punishment, but it might make other broadcasters wary of too deep an involvement with the phone maker. After the break we've got a copy of the judgment and you'll be able to read the whole thing for yourself at the source link.
