At the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nokia announced that the Lumia 800 smartphone was set to hit the shelves in the United States in February.

The company will make its Windows Phone smartphone available for users in the US unlocked and SIM-free. Lumia 800 was unveiled back in October as the first Windows Phone device from Nokia.

Additionally, the handset vendor promised exclusive content on its US Windows Phone models, such as twenty of the most popular titles from Electronic Arts (EA). These games will be exclusive to Lumia devices in the beginning.

The phone’s specifications list shows a 3.7-inch touchscreen display, a 1GHz application processor, 16GB of internal memory, and an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for recording videos in HD resolution.
