Nokia’s Lumia range is, depending on those you ask, either getting crowded or becoming more flexible, with the new Lumia 720 slotting in-between the 620 and the older 820.

, Mar 5th 2013 Discuss [0]

Today the Nokia Lumia 720 has been spotted running through the hoops at the FCC, this being one of the prerequisites for a USA release and a generally OK indicator that a launch here in the states is imminent. We got to take a peek at the Lumia 720 just a week ago at Mobile World Congress 2013 and found it to be a rather impressive machine - especially considering how inexpensive the company aims for it to be. We're to understand that this device may be heated to AT&T first, with the other major carriers coming up quickly behind. Read The Full Story

With the Nokia Lumia 720, the company continues with their unique design solution with high-end specifications on a low-cost Windows Phone 8 solution. Here we’re finding this lovely device to be rather like the Nokia Lumia 820, complete with “pillowy” design elements. The glass up front is curved around the edges, software is swift and rather responsive, and the whole experience is, if we didn’t know better, appearing very much to be the nicest Windows Phone 8 show of power on the market.
