- hahaha, maybe i do sound a little pissed now i've read it over again. But no, i didn't really take it personally. To me, this is just the bad apple in the basket full of great Nokia Lumia advertisement. The "smoked by a windows phone" was nice, because it showcased what the windows phone could do better, not just diss other phone. Their print ad and outdoor advertising is great too. but this advertising is kinda disturbing. haha.04-08-12 03:21 PMLike 0

Having said that that is when I changed to BlackBerry, I will never go back04-08-12 03:30 PMLike 0 - Unless it's been changed, (I was a member of the WP7 forum prior to release) there isn't a connection to the computor, yes there is a micro usb but thets only for chargeing. It was very important to me as I have to have records of texts etc on my computor only. So if 7.5 is the same you can only sync with the cloud.

I will use SkyDrive to sync Office files. It will be nice to be able to edit Office files on my device without needing any cables.04-08-12 03:55 PMLike 0 - Unless it's been changed, (I was a member of the WP7 forum prior to release) there isn't a connection to the computor, yes there is a micro usb but thets only for chargeing.

- LOL!
The specs aren't as important to me as the user experience. The UI is what really has me interested. The cool part is that with those "inferior" specs, the L900 operates faster/more fluid than leading Android phones I've used.app_Developer likes this.04-08-12 04:33 PMLike 1 -
However, the screen is not up to the standard of the iPhone, in terms of color rendition or of course the sharpness of text.JR A likes this.04-08-12 04:45 PMLike 1 - Folks, there are good handsets coming in many ways, and closed-mindedness was how we got into the mess we're in now. Upgrade cycles are a fact of life, and some are.well past those dates. Many of fhe folks here are long time BlackBerry users and fans. We know that we have to be patient, but that doesn't mean we can't look at the options, gain knowledge that will give us a greater depth of experience, and prepare for whatever is yet to come.
I'd like to see people realize that changes aren't always good or bad. Some of them are kinda in-between.04-08-12 05:24 PMLike 4 -

- I switched from the 9810 to the Lumia 710, and am hoping to be buying a 900 this week (whenever Rogers gets it, I have not pre-ordered). Anyways I have been enjoying my time with WP Mango, and do really recommend it. Standard limitations apply, but it is just so fluid, appealing, and easy to use.

I believe this policey was so as to stop side loading of applications, apps had to go via microsoft for security reasons (like BlackBerry) which is also the reason to exclude the sd card.
If so then that's different and MS has changed the policey for the better.

So it's a tricky one for me.04-09-12 07:56 AMLike 0

- Everyone(who doesn't know better) does bash WP for having a single core and 720p. And WP8(not win8) will have dual core and 1080p.04-09-12 09:17 AMLike 0
- The Lumia 900 looks great to me. i've had nokia phones in the past and ive always enjoyed them. my first phone was a nokia.
i'm not upgrading anytime soon so i'm just gonna sit back and see what's coming out this year.

Incidentally, some people (including some supposedly knowledgeable writers at tech blogs) are critical of current Windows Phone low-end specs...at least until they use it side by side with almost any Android phone. I personally think Windows Phone OS and iOS are roughly equal in smoothness (which is to say very smooth) but WP has a slicker and nicer to use interface.04-09-12 11:48 AMLike 0 -
The main reason why I think a phone with "inferior" hardware is being praised so much is because
1.) great UI that is different, "Beautifully different" as AT&T puts it. And the UI is so fast/fluid.
2.) no one was expecting WP/Nokia to deliver something this good, so the more bashing, the better!
According to WPCentral (I didn't spend THAT much time on those forums, I swear...), the Lumia series phones will be getting updated to WP8. And I'm sure it's not going to take forever to receive an update like all Android devices (cough* ICS *cough*)Last edited by jranciano; 04-09-12 at 11:55 AM.
