Yep, in which case, even better. I think its a great attempt at an entry level smartphone, for the average Facebook-text-phonecall type person; pretty much what Windows Phone OS is aimed at.

I think the problem Microsoft will find is that people who use iPhones will have trouble moving all their data over, and competent Android users aren't the type of people that WP7 is aimed at.

Perhaps their biggest chance at market share is to steal Blackberry customer base?

I don't care too much about the looks as it looks, again, good enough. It's just a phone I use for calls and maybe navigation here and there, not for gaymen or constantly looking at.

I agree with you.

What I don't understand is why people on /g/ can't just admit that they have an inferior device. It's not like it's your fault that you bought a device several months before this one came out? And who do you think you're fooling, by claiming your old piece of shit is better than the new iteration?

If you're trying to avoid shame or something, then just cop to the crappy phone and move on. We all make mistakes, and they're all petty little mistakes until you double down and insist that you're right, like your old phone is illogically better than the new one.

WP7 lacks a lot of things. The Lumia 900 looks absolutely gorgeous, but it lacks a lot of common apps and it's clear that developers don't give any priority to WP7. I mean, I don't blame them, why should they? But for instance, Draw Something reached like 50 million downloads in 50 days, and there's still no WP7 app. Not even in the works, as far as I know.

I'm not going to hinge my purchasing decisions on OMGPOP (now Zynga)'s app availability, but this is illustrative of the dearth of good apps on the WP7 market. And while the Lumia 900 looks gorgeous and has good specs, the specs are no better (or perhaps hardly any better) than the HTC One X, or the upcoming SGS 3.

So why limit myself to an environment that's practically dead?

Tell your employers you're not doing a good job.

AT&T has been astroturfing for decades, even before the internet was widely used.
Both Nokia and Microsoft have been caught posting comments online.

And AT&T has even confirmed this is the biggest marketing campaign in their history.

You don't even have to hide it, we know.
What we also know, is that the phone is shit.

Actually, IE9 is more or less on par with the other browsers. Each browser has something the others don't, so it really comes down to user preference.

I am sure, however, a bunch of head-in-the-sand idiots are going to try to say I'm wrong and a heathen for not hating a piece of software.

Although the version number has advanced on the Lumia 900 (because of changes that needed to accommodate LTE), it's really the same Windows Phone 7.5 Mango we've seen and talked about before. If you're looking for a make or break launch that might upset the balance, wait for the Apollo update.

So it doesn't change much.

Hey guys,

Google Nexus vs. HTC ONE X vs. HTC Raider vs. Motorola RZR vs. Samsung Galaxy S II LTE?

Also, unfortunately, the HTC ONE X offered in my country is LTE so its dual-core. I'm looking for a phone thats fast and has a nice selection of games, like the ability to emulate and stuff. I came here last night but I just found out that my provider offers a different version of the ONE X and that was the one /g/ said to wait for.

>Bottom line: If you’re looking for a $100, high-end smartphone, or are a Windows Phone fan who has been waiting for better hardware, the Lumia 900 is worth considering. But the phone had just too many drawbacks in my tests to best its chief competitors.

>I really wanted to love this phone, but while the hardware delivers, the device as a whole does not
>Let me just put this bluntly: I think it's time to stop giving Windows Phone a pass. I think it's time to stop talking about how beautifully designed it is, and what a departure it's been for Microsoft, and how hard the company is working to add features. I am very aware of the hard work and dedication Microsoft has put into this platform, but at the end of the day, Windows Phone is just not as competitive with iOS and Android as it should be right now.

Same thing that most tech sites said.
It's a fucking nothing.

I will admit...the Epic 4G Touch is the better phone. That thing is a beast speedwise. Sprint's network sucks in my area though...as it does in most.

Sensation was powerful....but the screen is prone to scratches easily. It also had shitty battery life. No point in a smartphone if it can't get you through a full day.

>No dual-core processor
They are trying to establish that with software, the latest hardware isn't necessary. Majority of you /g/uys run Linux...you should KNOW this.

>lousy battery life

Not true, I get a day and a half out of my Lumia 710 easy.

>No VPN (that's standard in Android and iOS)
Understandable , something I personally don't need...but everyone is different.

>No apps

Just because it doesn't half as much as Android and iOS, doesn't mean it has no applications. As time comes, like every newer OS, it takes time to gather support for the majority. Android was in their shoes earlier, now everyone suck's Android's dick. Give it the benefit the other OS's had and chill.

To be fair, I can't be bothered to bring my DSLR with me wherever I go. Even a P&S is an extra device I'd rather not carry around if I can avoid it.

And before you start with the juvenile "pussy" name-calling, it's not a weight issue. It's simply a "number of things I carry on me" issue. My pockets only have so much space.

I tried a Lumia 800 in a store today and it was a joy to use. I absolutely loved it.
I'm gonna buy it next month.

BUT I won't call it the world's best phone. I can, in fact, understand why people might not like it.
And I admit that WP7 has it faults, but I still find it so good to use and I fucking love the Metrodesign/-interface so much that it's worth it.
The Office and Navigation apps are also fucking sexy.

And regarding apps; I've already looked it up and found alternatives for nearly all the apps I need, except for Steam chat. I'm gonna miss Steam chat, but both Android and iOS has Steam chat, so WP7 will probably get it sooner or later.

It's not like I have anything against Android, but I've been using it for two years now and I want to try something different.

And if I don't like it, I'm just gonna buy a HTC One X. Gotta try everything.

Newer ≠ better.

Quad cores are on the horizon...why aren't you bitching about these Dual-Core phones that are coming out? It's old, right?

It's because Quad-Core isn't fucking necessary on a smartphone.

It's the same damn thing we had with computers.

MOAR CORES and HIGHER REZOLUSHUN = better.

Did you not read what I wrote? Who on earth says you need dual-core performance? They add more processing power because the software is written so badly, they make up for it by just add more processing power.

How else do you think iOS runs better than a lot of dual-core phones? It's because the time was taken to create more efficient software without so much damn bloat.

It needs to be like Android. To allow hardware makers to put it on newest high-end phones, to make software, that is tied to specific hardware. While still keeping the ecosystem tight.

Thats what MS should be aiming at.

I usually text more than call, so a decent touch screen is a must, along with a nice keyboard. I don't really use apps, but something like temple run. I've got a separate media player. A real keyboard would be nice (Currently on Bold 9700). And the ability to modify and dick around would be amazing.

The Lumia 900 sounds like a good fit for you. The build quality is excellent, it has LTE, and it's only $99 on contract.

As for the OS itself, I personally prefer it immensely to Android. My single core Windows Phone is a smoother and more enjoyable experience than the most high end Android phones I've used, because Android is bloated shit that can't even provide an equal level of smoothness as WP7 with double the processing power.

If you think people are praising the Lumia 900 too much, while every review says it's not noteworthy, here's why

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57405796-94/at-t-promises-biggest-launch-ever-for-lumia-900/

>AT&T promises biggest launch ever for Lumia 900
>"At all levels, this is a notch above anything we've ever done," AT&T device head Jeff Bradley said in an interview with CNET, noting that includes the launch of the iPhone.
>For consumers, the blitzkrieg will begin right around when the phone launches on April 8. AT&T and Nokia are readying a massive television marketing campaign to raise consumer awareness.
>The Lumia 900 will be the centerpiece at AT&T stores, with massive signs and posters promoting the device

>Nokia and AT&T spent considerable time training store reps, and a majority of them will be carrying one with them at all times.

They are also paying store reps far more commission to sell the phone to you, and of course Microsoft, Nokia and AT&T are all known for aggressive astroturfing.

One S is a really nice phone, don't get me wrong, but I'm not interested. I've been selling Android phones since we released the HTC G1. Also I own a Sensation 4g (Free again. I love my job) and it's pretty much the same deal going on. Is 42 MB download theoretical really nice? Sure. But I'd rather have SD card support. It's not much of an upgrade for me.

Lumia 710 and 900 are pretty much the same when it comes to operations, but the hardware is going to be larger and better overall. Later down the line I'll probably get a newer Lumia or Nokia windows phone that'll support SD cards.

The phones are so limited by Windows Phone 7, that it's kinda pointless pumping that much money into them.

Also, as for the battery life complaints, that was another fault of WP7, and has been fixed on the Lumia 800, and tripled its battery life.

CNET is a dinosaur who caters to the old shit companies in a bid to get back on top in the tech news world. Check Engadget, The Verge, or any other tech site that's in touch with reality.
>Apart from a stated preference and dedication to Microsoft's Windows Phone OS, savvy geeks on the cusp of the next best thing won't necessarily want what the 900 has to offer, especially in light of that other spotlight-stealing flagship, the One X. By no means are these phones on equal footing. It's just that Nokia may have shot itself in the foot, succumbing to the hazards of hyperbolic quicksand far ahead of launch day.
>Dispense of Espoo's rose-colored glasses and the case for this middle of the road Lumia becomes somewhat clearer.

>I really wanted to love this phone. From a design standpoint, the Lumia 900 was immediately enticing...But while the hardware — at least externally — delivers, the phone as a whole does not.
>it's almost impossible to move beyond some of Windows Phone's shortcomings this late in the game.
>Today I might complain about a lack of widgets or a skin I don't like, but I'm not griping about fundamental pieces of an OS [in Android and iOS]. And I think that's what's so trying about Windows Phone.
>These aren't minor gripes I have — they speak to the foundations of this OS. My annoyances aren't just about the color choices in the calendar, they're about whether or not scrolling in apps functions as it should, or if I'll get important updates in the background.

Get some perspective and ease your fanboyism off the pedal with this particular device. It has potential, but the platform Nokia insists on running is a piece of shit and Microsoft clearly hasn't made fixing that a priority.

My problem with the One X is battery life. I am considering the Krait version, but I send/receive 100+ texts a day, talk on the phone for 2-4 hours a day. My dumb phone can do this, but the screen is dying and I need to ditch it. Is the One X going to be able to handle this without a midday charge in 1-2 years? If i get a smart phone, i'd like to add browsing and games to my daily usage as well.

I just can't help but feel I'm better off getting the Nexus or GSII so I can make use of the removable batteries.. Plus, both of them have plenty of ROMs available already. The One X with Krait is going to have no custom ROMs for a while.

WP7 is just a terrible platform.

The reason why WP7 phones don't support higher resolution screens is because Microsoft was too concerned about fragmentation so they made sure that basically every single device that ran their OS was as similar as possible.

The ironic thing about this is this really turned off carriers and OEMs (because they like to differentiate their devices) so they just went and got andriod phones instead. The worst thing about microsoft's plan is that it doesn't even seem to prevent fragmentation. There wasn't a worldwide release of mango and suffered from the same fragmentation issues they were so concerned about in the beginning.

WP7 is basically the worst parts of android (fragmentation) and iOS (uniform outdated hardware and walled garden OS) in one single platform.

I have a lumia 900 and I love it. Perfect phone for anyone who doesn't want to be staring at their phone screen all day long tinkering at stupid shit to hack it to make it go slightly faster to try and ignore the constant crashing of apps every fucking time I open one. I can highly recommend this phone if you have any life outside of the internet. But then again this is /g/, so the more time you waste doing tweaking shit on your piece of technology to make it semi usable, the more useful it is, am I right?

Literally anything you want to do on your phone is basically 1 click away. It's functionality+simplicity. Something that iOS and droid fail to do most of the time. 90% of the time if I'm looking at a page or some info and there is something very specific I want to do with it, there is already an option right there for me to do it without having to open any apps or go through a process. Honestly you'd have to sit down with the phone to make an assessment, I was a huge android fanboy before it.

>>24077089

Just because I have a positive opinion? Try harder bro. I traded in my SGSII which I was borderline obsessed with and now I haven't been happier with a phone in a long time. Sure the one thing is the "lack" of apps, but I could give a shit less about games, and for everything else there is almost an identical if not better app for it.

So you were obsessed with tinkering with the device, but didn't keep it stock and enjoy the experience that many regarded as the best available.

Looks like you were overwhelmed by Android's customizability and retreated into the safe shell of WP7, instead of keeping your device stock.
