Windows Phone U.K. has begun a rewards program for developers who have made and published apps in the Windows Phone marketplace. The program has four tiers of prizes ranging from 12-month Xbox live subscription and the Beer Machine 2000 to a cruise in four luxurious automobiles (Ferrari 360, Porsche GT3, Lamborghini Gallardo and the Aston Martin). Not bad for making a couple of apps.

However, for such great prizes, developers’ apps must be “successfully published” and fulfill a “uniqueness and originality criteria.” The program is only available to U.K. developers and points only accrue after joining the program. Additionally, any points awarded must be used by August 12, 2012, which is the end-date of the program.

If you are a U.K. developer, you can sign-up for the program, or programme, here.

The Nokia 900 was delayed for a European release due to higher than expected US sales. Some might expect Europeans to be upset about this news. Instead, CarPhoneWarehouse is offering a deal that far exceeds anything AT&T offered to its US customers.

Those who pre-order the Nokia 900 will receive a Nokia/Monster Purity over the ear headset (a £199 value) and £50 worth of apps credit. Based on the current exchange rate that’s  over $240 offered on top of the already free phone with the standard two year contract.

Terms Include: This offer is available exclusively to Nokia Lumia phones bought at Carphone Warehouse between the 3rd May and 3rd July 2012. After 14 days from purchase visit nokiafreeapps.com to claim your free £50 apps voucher. Claim by 31st July 2012. To claim your free headphones text ‘lumiamonster’ to 64446 from your new handset. After 28 days visit www.lumiamonster.co.uk and enter your details. Headphones will then be posted within 30 days. Available while stocks last.
