U.S. consumers eyeing Nokia’s new Lumia 1020 can now buy the phone from AT&T.
Equipped with a 41-megapixel camera, the 1020 is available through AT&T’s Web site and will be sold in AT&T stores starting today.
Buyers can choose from among three colors — yellow, black, or white. That’s hopefully a simple enough decision. What may be trickier is picking the price and the plan. AT&T offers four options for purchasing the phone.
You can go for a month-to-month plan with no long-term commitment and pay the full retail price of $659.99. You can select a one-year contract and shell out $549.99. You can go the usual two-year route and pay $299.99. Or you can opt for the AT&T Next plan. AT&T Next lets you pay off your smartphone in monthly installments, the major benefit being that you can upgrade your phone once a year.
In addition to its high-resolution camera, the Lumia 1020 comes with a 4.5-inch 1,280×768-pixel display, a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 4G LTE support, 32GB of storage, and Windows Phone 8.
