Nokia cuts US price of flagship smartphone
HELSINKI—Nokia has cut in half the price of the Lumia 900 in the United States in an effort to boost sales of its flagship smartphone running on the Windows Phone operating system.
The device is now being offered for $49.99 with a two-year contract with AT&T, down from $99.99 when it was launched three months ago.
In a statement Monday, Nokia spokesman Doug Dawson called the move “a normal strategy that is put in place during the life cycle of most phones.”
