Apple's seeing (http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/24/apple-q2-2012-earnings-report-ipad-iphone-sales/) huge, huge upticks in spending from Chinese customers, and Nokia's sure hoping it sees similar. In the midst of untold turmoil (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/14/nokia-layoffs-vertu/), Nokia is sprinkling in a bit of positive news this morning -- news that the Lumia 900 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/03/nokia-lumia-900-review/) is now shipping in China. The 900 marks the fifth Lumia smartphone to ship in the nation of 900 million mobile phone users, with white, black and cyan versions to choose from. Outside of the basic specifications, the Chinese 900 will also come preloaded with nation-specific apps such as Sina Weibo, QQ IM, Baidu Search and Alipay. Oh, and if a phone wasn't enough, the Nokia Reaction Bluetooth Headset (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/14/nokia-reaction-bluetooth-headset/) is also launching there today, enabling you to finally make use of that NFC module. The Lumia 900 hardware will sell for RMB 4599 ($721) in Nokia's flagship store, Nokia brand stores and the nation's "top electronics chain stores."
