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.

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.
