Lumia 800 as Valentine's Day Gift with $899 Price Tag - Real or Rumor?

What gift will you give to your lover on Valentine's Day? Especially if you plan to buy a new smartphone, Nokia Lumia 800 might be a good choice.

Nokia Lumia 800 will hit the market in U.S. on Valentine's Day with a $899 price tag, the Verge reported, citing anonymous sources close to Microsoft's Lumia launch plans.

You might be surprised why the Microsoft smartphone is so expensive? well, it's because Lumia 800 doesn't come alone. Instead it will come bundled with other accessories, including a Nokia Play 360 Wireless Speaker, Purity HD Stereo Headset, and an in-ear Bluetooth headset. However, you can't separate the smartphone from other items, at least initially.

The high price is also because the phone, which will be available in Microsoft's retail stores, comes unlocked, which means you don't need to be tied to any carrier.

The company plans to launch Lumia 800 on Feb. 14, targeting Valentine's Day gift shoppers, according to the Verge.

As early as CES 2012 last month, Microsoft said it will launch Lumia 800 in its US stores within the next few months. A white model is also coming soon, according to Nokia.

Lumia 800 sports a 1.4 GHz processor including hardware acceleration and a graphic processor, a 3.7-inch AMOLED curved screen, Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.5 operating system, 16GB of internal user memory and 25GB of free SkyDrive storage for storing images and music.
