Dread is a long story, but to abbreviate, the workers in the Price Plaza branch of Let's Talk Ltd. ARE IDIOTS. The UWI branch is MOST helpful. Well put it this way woody, if not for the INCOMPETENCE of said ppl, I would not have an android phone atm.

I took it in stride though, only due to the workers at the uwi branch, they were helpful before, then and even now. My words of advice on this whole matter, don't buy from the price plaze outlet. They have outlets all over otherwise, also don't buy a handset on a thursday or friday XD

Seems like some sacrifices had to be made to get the low price point on the lumia 900.

 http://www.bgr.com/2012/04/04/nokia-lumia-900-teardown-reveals-mediocre-hardware/?wptouch_switch=desktop

Nokia and Microsoft are betting big on the Lumia 900, hoping the device will help make a name for Windows Phone in the United States. The handset will be exclusively offered by AT&T for a mere $99.99 with a new two-year agreement on April 8th. 

TechRepublic on Tuesday cracked open the device and examined its internal components. The conclusion: mediocre hardware is the reasons for its low price. With almost every other competing smartphone offering dual-core or quad-core processors, Nokia instead chose a single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 chipset clocked at 1.4 GHz.

The Lumia has a smaller battery, lower resolution display and less RAM than most of its competitors as well. The handset is also thicker and heavier than most, although it has a good build quality according to the site. Despite these shortcomings, Nokia’s Lumia 900 is a terrific smartphone that gives Windows Phone its best shot yet to succeed.

@ woodyear99

Windows Phone dont need dual core and more ram. With its "mediocre" specs, it outperforms d latest and greatest of other platforms, so mute point.
Could do with HD display doh, which coming in apollo. Hardware Specs is meaningless unless the product has the performance to go along with it.
A graphics card can have more Teraflops than other and still get it ass cut. Treat phone gear the same way.
Price/Performance, and d Price/Performance of d 900 is very competitive. But since i have a HTC Titan, ill be sticking with that until apollo hit.

Some ad's from the 900 Launch:

The headline of the article was a bit misleading.

http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/cracking-open/nokia-lumia-900-teardown-reveals-mediocre-hardware-reasons-for-great-price/527

"Bottom Line

The Lumia 900 may lack of a dual-core processor and have a lower resolution screen and less storage capacity than the Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4S, but it’s definitely the best Windows Phone 7 device I’ve tested. And even with its less-than-cutting edge hardware, I found the Lumia’s overall performance on par with the other two phones.

So why didn’t Nokia pack the phone with the newest processor, best display, and more storage? I think it all comes down to price. At $99 (with a two year contract) the Lumia is definitely the most affordable high-end smartphone on the market. Had Nokia pushed the envelope on hardware, they would have needed to raise the price."

Verizon and Samsung buying Nokia Lumia search keywords on Twitter
May 20, 2012 | By Surur   


I guess neither Verizon or Samsung are complacent about the success of Nokia’s Lumia range, with both companies choosing to pollute twitter search results for the Lumia and Nokia Lumia 900 with irrelevant ads for their phones and services.

I guess we have moved beyond the ignore and the laughing phase to the fighting phase.  And everyone knows what’s next…source

Either Nokia is good at product placement or they're getting a lot of interest because LeVar Burton, also known as Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge on Star Trek: The Next Generation, is now using one.

In a simple two part tweet, the Reading Rainbow celeb stated "I luva my Lumia" and it was causing a bit of a stir amongst his readers (some for, some against).

Burton evidently picked up a glossy-white AT&T edition 900, the same one we're using ourselves and so far he seems to be happy with it. It will be interesting to see how he progresses with the flagship device over the next few days, after all the man was the chief engineer of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E), so figuring out Windows Phone should be a breeze.

Regardless, welcome to the club, LeVar!

European carriers: Lumia phones are 'not good enough'

Ouch, this cant be good for bolstering still tepid uptake of the OS.

European carriers: Lumia phones are 'not good enough' to compete with iPhone and Android

They say everyone's a critic these days, but here's a group whose critique matters: European carriers. Reuters has been asking questions at four major European telecom operators and reports that they're all dissatisfied with the company's current range of Lumia handsets. Describing the Windows Phone devices as overpriced due to their lack of real innovation, glitchy due to early battery life issues, and inadequately supported by Nokia's own marketing, the carriers seem to be in consensus about the new phones' failure to put up real competition to iOS and Android. Put in starker terms, they don't believe that Nokia's Lumia phones are "good enough" to compete. An executive in charge of mobile phones at one of the big Euro carriers is cited as saying, "no one comes into the store and asks for a Windows Phone," placing at least some of the blame for the tepid start to Nokia's reboot on Microsoft's shoulders.

"IF THE LUMIA WITH THE SAME HARDWARE CAME WITH ANDROID IN IT AND NOT WINDOWS, IT WOULD BE MUCH EASIER TO SELL."

Credit rating agency Moody's has also been piling on, following Nokia's recent warning about lower-than-expected Q1 earnings, downgrading the Finnish company to a Baa3 rating and its outlook to "negative." Still, in Moody's more detailed assessment, Nokia is expected to be "accepted in the market in 2012," with Windows Phone becoming the third leading mobile platform behind iOS and Android.

Really? Phone released in 2012 not getting new OS that's coming out just a few months later in the SAME year?

Looks like another thing that Android was blasted for is now happening on WP. Quite interesting.

Lumia 900 won't be sold by T-Mobile in Germany due to lack of WP8 upgrade path


Putting another obstacle in Nokia's path to selling its Lumia range as widely as possible, T-Mobile's German arm has decided that it won't stock the Lumia 900 Windows Phone handset. This comes on the heels of multiple European carriers expressing discontent with the quality of the Windows Phone user experience, but seems to have been motivated by an additional factor. A member of T-Mobile's support team in Germany has revealed, after asking around inside the company, that the reason the Lumia 900 won't be making an appearance on the company's shelves has to do with Windows Phone 8 — specifically, the fact that this new phone won't be upgradeable to the upcoming OS version. As she tells it, T-Mobile opted not to incur the wrath of its users by selling them a new Lumia 900 today and denying them an upgrade to the very latest Microsoft mobile operating system a few months down the line.

That's an admirably frank position for the carrier to take, although when we enquired for comment, the official Deutsche Telekom response was that the rejection of the Lumia 900 is just one of the carrier's many "portfolio decisions" that have to be made and "unfortunately we cannot offer each new device." So the public mouthpiece of the company isn't quite yet willing to affirm that the lack of an upgrade path is at fault, but the fact remains that one of Europe's biggest operators is giving Nokia's flagship device a skip and we sincerely doubt that has anything to do with the hardware on offer.
