A leaked AT&T roadmap observed by BGR reveals the Lumia 900 will hit AT&T stores on March 18 at a quite surprising price, $99.99.

Even if you are not a Nokia fan, you must agree this pricing is what Nokia and Microsoft (plus, AT&T) need to snatch some market share from Google and Apple. With this price tag the well-armed Nokia Lumia 900 can go ahead of such a device as, say, the iPhone 4S. On the whole, the Lumia 900 has all chances to become the king of Q1 — a mere glance at this handset is enough to conclude we are dealing with one of the best handsets in the world. Besides LTE support, it comes packed with a 4.3-inch display, a 1.4GHz single-core processor, 8MP rear camera, a VGA secondary camera and Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, which has already won the hearts of many geeks.

This offer is a perfect gift for those who are in love with Nokia’s novelties, but who have not picked one because of different reasons; perhaps they were waiting for something more from Nokia, which is not the mid-range Lumia 710 (offered for free). The Lumia 800 would still be an attractive option but it’s not available via any carrier. So now that the Lumia 900 is on its way, Android and Apple must do something to change the situation. But can they change the natural flow of the events?
