Nokia's smartphonebetatest.com website now live, includes ads for the Nokia Lumia 900

Nokia's website for the Nokia Lumia 900 is now live

According to Nokia, anyone using a smartphone over the last five years (coinciding with the launch of the OG Apple iPhone, of course) has been merely beta testing handsets so that Nokia could create a model with none of the flaws found in the other phones. To support this make believe world, the smartphonebetatest.com web site is now live and includes a couple of commercials promoting the Nokia Lumia 900 as the first smartphone that is not a beta test. It's an interesting promotional idea, but how many Apple iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S II owners are going to believe that they are holding a beta model in their hands?

The site also includes those shots taken at the Apple iPhone that we discussed a few days ago, including the one that makes fun of the infamous left-handed death grip. Also on the site is a map that shows you where your closest AT&T locations are so that you can get rid of your beta phone and buy the Nokia Lumia 900 for $99.99 with a signed 2-year pact.
