The expectation of getting the first Windows Phone in the US during Consumer Electronics Show is finally justified. According to a rather reliable source (New York Times!), the Nokia Lumia 900 will be launched during the CES 2012 event. This much anticipated event will take place on January 9 (today) in Las Vegas.

The design of the handset is still not leaked. The only description the source gives is “sleek” and “metallic.” Well, if the term “sleek” is pretty reasonable, the “metallic” leaves a space for various speculations. It might be connected with a glossy cover or a brand new interesting color option.

The name of the device as the Lumia 900 is also confirmed by the source. The carrier of the handset in the US will be AT&T. Still so far there’s no affirmation the device will support 4G LTE connectivity.

Earlier rumors suggest that the device sport a large 4.3 inch display and have a design similar to that of the Nokia Lumia 800. The only confirmed specification is the WP OS, though we are not sure whether it will be Mango or Tango series.
