The Nokia Lumia 900 review

The Nokia Lumia 900 has the weight of two technology behemoths and Windows Phone fans on its polycarbonate shoulders. Ars sees if the flagship smartphone can do them all proud.

$99? People were getting this phone for free with a new customer sign up and contract.

This article (and others) basically say that the future of the Windows Phone platform is riding upon the success or failure of this one handset, the Lumia 900.

That, to me, adds risk. If the "flagship" "hero" phone fails to sell very well, then Windows Phone 7.5 platform is in trouble. Later this year, Microsoft will release Windows Phone 8, but in other publications Microsoft is quoted as saying it "doesn't know" if the Lumia 900 can be upgraded to the next OS.

These are questions to ponder, beyond simple specs about how the video camera performs etc etc.

I would make the distinction that everyone who cares--AT&T, Microsoft, Nokia, fans of the WinPhone platform--is putting *a lot of pressure* on this phone. Is the ultimate success of the platform really riding on this one handset? Personally, I don't think so. Microsoft seems very dedicated to ratcheting up WinPhone's presence, and even if the Lumia 800 falls short of a smashing success, MS's momentum won't falter. The results will say more about whether Nokia will ever really come back to the US, IMO. But all parties are pretty mum on the issue of Windows 8.

Oops, didn't see that free part.

Well, everyone saw WP7 go nowhere, so then they (maybe the same people you said that cared) said, "WP7 needs a high end flagship, as the current offerings are very basic." Well, here it is. If that fails to go anywhere, then what?

Oh that's right, "Verizon."

Personally I hope it succeeds in some way, then competition will force Android to get a bit better - ICS is a good step in the right direction, but I need to see more.

Yet another review blatantly ignoring the PlaySkool OS.

Android hardware with an OS designed for the PB&J set. Like that niche wasn't being served already by Apple slices. Does it come with that new drool-immersion technology?

Troll harder.

Why? Blocking is much more fun

I've never understood why consumers who have nothing to do with a corporation, except giving them money for products, are so interested in sales or how well certain products from certain companies fare in the market... Some of these deluded fanboys just need to die.

PS: Who owns the ugly finger nails in the photos? Get rid of that bullshit you put on your nails.

And when did you become the CTO of the planet?

Your 38 posts here are mostly drivel as well. Why don't you follow your own advice? On second thought, I don't need to wait, I'll just block you...
