Nokia CES 2012 press conference liveblog
So, Stephen Elop, Noka's CEO, made an appearance during AT&T's Developers Summit, announcing that AT&T will be carrying Nokia's first LTE Windows Phone devices. However, he didn't utter a word regarding the actual handsets that users will be able to enjoy.
We guess that it'll be at Nokia's own press conference here in Vegas when the company will announce its new phones. What do you say - will it the a Lumia 800 with LTE radio or a brand new Lumia 900? We sure hope it's the latter.
Don't miss our liveblog - the event is going to start at 3PM Pacific, 5PM Central, and 6PM Eastern time! If you want, you can also follow it through our special Twitter channel: @PhoneArenaLive.

| 17:33 | No word about storage capacity with the phone. |
| 17:32 | Abroad, still no confirmation about a release overseas in Europe or Asia. |
| 17:31 | No announcement about its release or pricing, but coming soon. Though, Elop hints to be aggressive with its pricing. |
| 17:30 | So it doesn't seem we'll be seeing anything else from Nokia's camp. Nevertheless, it should be a great addition. |
