An Apple customer, going just by the letter K reported her iPhone stolen last year. K did not wipe her data off her iPhone using third-party apps, but rather had her SIM deactivated. But then she was surprised when she got to know that her iPhone was still receiving iMessages from her friends. K tried every nook and corner. She contactedthe Apple store and tried her best to get through. She even reset her Apple ID.

Global variant of Nokia 900 in White leaked by Nokia on Facebook (by mistake)

So just today we saw Nokia announce that its Lumia 800 will arrive dressed in White later this month and today we see the Finnish company accidently post a picture of 800’s big-brother, the Lumia 900 in White. Nokia initially tagged the post as Nokia 800 in White but if we look at the picture closely, we can see the front-camera.
And thus Nokia leaked out a very-beautiful looking Lumia 900 which seems to be a global variant as it doesn’t sport the AT&T logo on it. Also the global variant is expected to arrive sans the LTE radio. It’ll be interesting to see as to as to when this white-coloured device will reach the global shores but with the image leaking out now, expect it to arrive soon. We are expecting an announcement of the same at the upcoming MWC later this month.
