Microsoft and Nokia are planning a major marketing push worth USD 100 million to launch the Nokia Ace smartphone in the US with AT&T at the end of March, sources familiar with the matter told the website BetaNews. AT&T will get the exclusive on the Ace, which is thought to resemble the Nokia Lumia 900 and possibly support LTE. The Windows phone will have 'hero' status with the operator, which means AT&T will promote the phone in its own advertising and retail channels. Nokia earlier confirmed the US launch this month of its other Windows smartphone, the Lumia 710, with T-Mobile USA.
