The Nokia Lumia 900, the new flagship Windows Phone 7 device from the Finnish phone maker, will not be ranged by Vodacom, the mobile network operator recently told MyBroadband.

Currently Vodacom is the only network selling Nokia’s previous Windows Phone 7 flagship, the Lumia 800.

Nokia first announced an LTE version of the device at CES in January 2012, but unveiled an HSPA model at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on 27 February 2012.

The device boasts a 4.3-inch 480×800 capacitive touch display, 42Mbps HSPA+ support, 8 megapixel camera, and 1.4GHz processor and Adreno 205 GPU using the Qualcomm APQ8055 Snapdragon chip.

Cell C and 8ta both indicated that they are considering ranging the device in future, but couldn’t give an indication of pricing at this stage.

MTN was asked whether they would be selling the Nokia Lumia 900, but didn’t respond by the time of publication.
