Lumia

I have had Samsung phones, where the screens are nice, but the plastic bodies come
apart all of the time and feel flimsy. I have had iPhones, where the user interface
is just so boring, even with all those apps that cost you money. The
Nokia has wonderful Nokia apps already installed, such as Nokia Drive, which gives
you directions while you are driving with a talking attendant, it is super accurate
and fun to use. You get Nokia Music, which is a free music service with 1500
playlists put together by expert music people, very good and it's free! You get
ESPN, Nokia City Lens, which is where you hold your camera up while you are walking
a city street and it will give you information about the area and what you are
pointing at, it is really cool. And there are other free Nokia apps as well, like
Camera Extras, that let you do things like take action shots and panorama photos.
There's a Six Flags app, PGA Tour, Contacts Transfer, The Caddie +, Univision,
Groupon, Soundtracker that connects you to Internet Radio for free, let's you get
concert tickets, look at lyrics, share comments with your friends on their music,
et. There's Counters, that keeps track of calls and data usuage, Creative Studio,
which is a photo editing app, and so much more! As a Windows Phone, you
will have 7GB of Free Cloud Storage (which is the most for any Cloud Storage
offered) for all your files and music and apps on Sky Drive, with the option to
upgrade at a cost. The camera takes great pictures with the Carl Zeiss
lense and there are ways to adjust you settings. The phone takes great 720p videos,
which is a whole lot better than 1080p in a lesser camera. The Windows
7.5 user interface is super easy to use, and it is very pretty to look at. There
are a ton of apps in the MarketPlace, and the most popular ones are there, many of
them are free. The beutiful cyan body on this phone is a matte finish,
so it doesn't show fingerprints, it is made of polycarbonate, which is the same
hard plastic that eye glass frames are made. If you were to get a deep scratch the
color goes all the way through, so it won't show. Even the USB Charger has a
modern style, with it's round geometric shape outlet plug. All in all this is one
hot phone.
This phone is great! It's the best phone I've ever owned. I have been a dedicated
high end Android user, but I found this phone to be a much more satisfying
experience than either the iPhone or the Android phones. I want an OS that will
meet my current needs and have a great user interface with a good amount of apps
available for me to manage my daily mobile cell phone use, and not have to make
expensive phone upgrades all the time. The Nokia Lumia 900 is a very well
constructed phone.The aesthetics are pleasing, it's modern and function goes well
beyond my expectations. It operates very fast and smooth even though it has a
single core processor and only 512MB on RAM. If you are not aware of these specs,
you might think it has a multi-core processor and more RAM on board. Nokia has come
up with a phone that is both pleasing in design and very efficient when it comes to
performance. The screen is bright with beautiful color saturated screen, and seems
to have less glare outside when it's sunny. I can actually read the screen in such
conditions. This is a big plus for me! It has 16GB of ROM, which is plenty by
itself, but pared with the 7GB of frees cloud storage, it's more than enough for
me. I really don't know what the fuss is about concerning the number of apps
available for Windows Phones. Unless you are some kind of developer or techy
person, there are plenty of apps available for this phone (both from MS, Nokia and
third party) for the everyday cell phone user, even business user. The game apps
seems so much more refined (probably because there are a lot of Xbox games
available for this phone) and they run beautifully on this phone. I travel a lot
and I'm really looking forward to using this phone on my trips. I have always
liked Nokia phones because of the quality build and support. When I started using a
smartphone I got away from Nokia phones and started my Android experience. Now that
Nokia has chosen to team up with MS to re-enter the smartphone market, I wanted to
try their phones again. What a lovely surprise! I'm crazy for the Lumia 900 and
look forward to future offerings from Nokia, if and when I get tired of this phone
or need to upgrade. I recommend this phone, it's quality at affordable prices.
Great design, sturdy, fast and very easy to use, especially if you run Windows 8 on
your computer. Try it! You won't be sorry. By it from Amazon, the best place to
shop and that's coming from a person that doesn't or ever has worked for them. I
forgot to tell you that there is an upgrade of the operating system to 7.8, which
is very similar to Windows 8, available for this phone. It's very easy to install,
just install Zune on your Windows computer, connect your phone to USB, and it will
find the upgrade and instruct you how to install.
I just bought this phone a few weeks ago and it is gorgeous. The screen just blew
me away and the OS is very fast and user friendly. This is the first time I try a
Windows phone and I have to say that it's been a wonderful experience. From now on
I'll just use Windows phone for my daily use. My next gadget will be Nokia Lumia
920. I just can't look foward for this phone to hit the market. Nokia designs the
best and most beautiful phones and now they work with the best OS on the market.
Well done, Nokia and Microsoft! Now, let's talk about Apps. I've read
many comments of people talking about the ''lack of app'' on the Marketplace. I can
tell my own experience. I come from Android and also I had a Apple iPhone 4S and
the only App missing on the Marketplace (talking about me and the apps I use the
most) are Instagram and OVO (and I've heard Instagram is comming soon to Windows
Phones before this year ends). I have Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, MSN,
KiK, Viber, Badoo, SkyDrive, Tango, Skype,Youtube,Shazam, SoundHound, Netflix,
IMDb, Evernote, ESPN, CNN, Univision,SkyMap, TuneIn Radio, WhatsApp, Wikipedia and
Weather much more... Also the Nokia App (Nokia Maps, Drive, City Lens, Music,
Trailers, Creative Studio, Counters, Soundtracker, Transit, Contacts Transfer,
Camera Extras and much more). The Marketplace keeps growing. The integration of
Facebook, twitter, MSN, LinkedIn and Foursquare in my Windows Phone is AMAZING! I
can put comments and give ''likes'' directly from my phone due to the AMAZING
integretion between those Apps and my phone. and I don't have to go to the Facebook
or Twitter App to do that. I'm totally in love with my Nokia Lumia 900
and its amazing OS! I 100% recommend it! If you wanna be different, switch and go
for it! Nokia Lumia phones the amazing experience!
Hi, I bought a cell phone by Amazon with the following description:
"Nokia 900 Lumia Blue (Cyan) Factory Unlocked", Sold by: BLUTEKUSA. When
I got the phone I was surprised that box and cell phone were "at&t", since the main
reason why buy the cell phone was because it was factory unlocked. Also when I
insert the SIM, the phone displays a message requesting an unlock code. I wrote to the company and I received excellent advice to unlock the phone. I am very happy with my phone. It's great Thanks.
The Nokia Lumia 900 was my first smartphone. Im a programmer, so I really
appreciate how easy it is to write software for it. That being said, the phoen
itself is what I'm rating so lets get to it. The Good: I love the
feature-rich experience and the battery life is quite good. Despite what I have
read from other websites it seems fairly light to me (then again, I don't like
owning a smartphone that feels like its gonna float away). The speaker is one of
the loudest I have ever heard on a smartphone, and it outputs really good quality
audio too! The camera takes excelent quality photos and I feel that it is quite
feature-rich. The flash is extremely bright, and makes a good flashlight in a
pinch. the case is so tough that I dare someone to try and break it. I have yet to
scratch the phone case itself and I have had this phone for about 6 months now (I
tend to drop my phone, so this is impressive). The Bad: Let me
first say that I DO NOT have a problem with the hardware. I have a few compaints
about the software though. If you know about WP already then the rest of this
section won't help you. That being said, I would dearly like to be able to make
playlists on the go without the need to sync with zune software. I will also be
excited when more developers get apps into the store (although all the ones I need
are already there). My biggest issue right now is the OS upgrade, or rather the
lack of one. WP8 came out and lumia 900 users kinda got the shaft. Bottom Line: This phone is an excelent choice! The price is excelent, the
calls are clear, the interface is sleek, and the phone is near indestructable. I
would like to see some love from microsoft in regaurds to software upgrades, but
other than that I would (and do) recomend this phone to anyone who wants a good,
dependable phone.
I am a tmobile customer and with an unlocked Nokia 900 Lumia from ATT .Let me
simply say it has to be one of the best kept secrets in smartphones. Though I knew
the phone was unlocked, I had no clue it took a micros sim card, which I was not
aware of and meant I had to go to a carrier and switch my sim card. Problem was
solved in no time. Anyway back to this review. I was contemplating an Iphone
purchase but I could not stand to spend upwards of 450 plus buckaroos on a phone.
This cost me under 300 bucks give or take plus a few quality accessories. SO in
the budget department alone, this phone gets a gold star. I have read
reviews there is a lack of apps....I dispute that HOWEVER, do not expect an array
of exactly what you see on android play store. There are a lot of apps for
everything you need, some just not as popular. There are financial apps(Citibank,
capitalone etc)missing but thats about it. With that in mind, the internet explorer
is really smooth(way better than my old phone, my touch 4g slide). It has microsoft
word and excel also. The interface is smooth, unbelievable this is a cool phone!
One feature that is really different, the GPS navigator. Setting things up did not
take long at all. You will be seduced by the sleek look. I am not done playing
around with it, but i know now I made a good choice here. I dont know where Nokia
has been(I had one in the early 2000s) but I have since had a blackberry and a
couple of tmobile high end phones. Nokia has made a giant leap. 4/27/13 After a few more days of use I feel real proud about not caving to
buy the iphone. The battery life, which with mytouch 4g was ALWAYS an issue, is
really impressive. You get at least a good 10 hours if you leave it on,probably
longer if you leave the battery saver option on. I discovered the sky drive(similar
to icloud) on Marketplace which gives you additional 7Gigs or so free, plus
available upgrades for a fee and you get to store for music or other files. I
really do think the only thing that will stop this phone from blowing out the
competition unfortunately, are the lack of the 'mainstream' apps. Also some apps
free on Google play store(android) might not be on Marketplace(if available) But
believe me unless you are one for the bandwagon, this change is worth a try,
especially if the iphone or high end androids are a little above your budget.
I bought this phone because I wanted to use it on TMobile. I've only been
frustrated thus far. Because it was originally an AT&T phone, the picture messaging
is all screwed up. I actually regret not waiting the extra month or so for the
Lumia 820... at least that Nokia was released on TMobile... Overall, the phone os
great; I do LOVE Windows phones.
I received my phone before the expected arrival date and in excellent condition -
New, and the color cyan blue is beautiful. The phone is simply great. It is easy to
use, with lots of features, and well built. Good Nokia quality as expected. I have
always been a fan of Nokia phones and the Nokia /Microsoft combination is perfect.
The touch screen is becoming easier each time. The phone is indeed unlocked and I
did take it to my initial cell provider. However,I was not pleased with the speed
offered by them and had to switch to another provider - Digicel in the Caribbean is
now my new cell provider. What a difference and the 4G LTE speed is simply amazing.
Very pleased in all areas, and the phone did not let me down. Additional update to
follow if necessary as I use the phone. UPDATE 20 Dec 12: Please
note that the seller of my Nokia Lumia 900 unlocked cell phone was Masterdeals. My
cell was indeed unlocked and I was able to communicate with them. Still very
pleased with the Nokia Lumia 900 ! UPDATE 14 SEPT 13: This phone is
still working very well. I have never had an issue with it, and I will say over and
over again, "I really like my phone". Its fast ( good provider ), and I even read
books on my phone. Its like my mini PC with easy use of the Microsoft office. I
have also dropped it many times, but fortunately it was well protected. Lots of
apps, and I am able to track my morning run/walk without a glitch. Unfortunately
windows phones are missing the app for Magic Jack, and that is the only important
app that I am lacking. Waiting on Magic jack to create an app for Windows phones !
Love the live tiles, and like that I can organize them how I want them - reminds me
of my desktop. As you use the phone, you will learn the features. Still a great
phone !!!
I bought the phone and it was nice but has one problem that my husband did not
like. It did turned off and didn't wanna turn on when somebody was calling. So I
ruterned the phone. I did ask the seller to send me a new one and they did - but it
was the same phone - it even had my baby's picture which we took the first time we
used the phone to see the quality of camera - and charger was folded the same way I
did it and did not have plastic covers and black cover from front and back of the
phone were put there for the second time for sure. But they stil keep telling me it
was a new phone. So please buy the phone but NOT from this seller - because the
phone is good but service is awfull. And they refunded money but took 10% off the
price I paid originaly because they say it was a new phone!!!!
I purchased the Nokia Lumina 900 in black from BLUTECUSA and was really thrilled
with all the new WP features. I really loved the new interface and its one smooth
operator. The only issue I had was that it was locked to AT&T Wireless. Since I
needed an unlocked phone (as advertised) I had to return it.
I have been using a Blackberry Curve for the last 3 1/2 years and avoiding a
smartphone because of the additional costs associated with new activations.
However, I decided that it may be time to upgrade since I would like to be able to
use this phone overseas on travel. I did some research - thought about going with
the new Blackberry Q10 - but the outright unlocked purchase price is high and I
wanted to test out an unlocked GSM phone before I went hog wild on the phone of my
dreams. I went with the 900 because it is affordable but not too outdated yet
(although the 925 AT&T and 928 Verizon are already out). I read great reviews on
the design and wanted to go with something other than the iPhone. I was not
disappointed. Kudos to Feel Good Sales - the product was unlocked and worked
right out of the box when I took it down to T-Mobile for a SIM card. It was just as
advertised - new (AT&T), unlocked. Please keep in mind that there are many
different vendors that sell under the same item number so you don't really know who
the seller is. I chose to go with an Amazon Fulfilled seller, believing that there
is a bit more consumer protection if they are responsible for the processing of the
transaction. Also believing that if a seller uses Amazon to fulfill, they are
probably selling what they're advertising since returns seem to be processed
through Amazon also. In any case, be careful which vendor you choose and check
their ratings. I read some of the reviews for other vendors (especially direct
sales) that would lead me to believe that not all sellers are created equal. So, it's super easy to set up the Lumia 900 and I found lots of forum hints on
it. The one thing that I had a problem with to start was sending and receiving MMS
(pics through text). But I found a topic online that told me I needed to download
the Network Setup app from Nokia and select my provider - it worked
perfectly. Marketplace is really easy for downloading apps because I already
have an Microsoft e-mail account. I am not a heavy user of apps so I don't really
have much to say about them but they're there and I will probably look into them
more. I have read lots of reviews saying the battery life is short but then so
it is for the iPhone. Do your research but I think the Lumia 900 is a good choices
- especially for me, as a starter smartphone that I wouldn't be afraid to take
overseas. I think at some point, I might want to get a newer, international model -
hopefully after they improve battery life (according to the critics). But in
the meantime, I'm thrilled!
I purchased the Nokia Lumia 900 from Cell-Source on July 5, 2013. The phone is
sold by various sellers with orders fulfilled by Amazon. Therefore, product reviews
for this phone appear on each individual seller's product page. If you have
comments for the seller, you may or may not be able to leave the seller
feedback. Although Cell-Source did advertise the Nokia Lumia 900 as a
"Brand New" unlocked GSM phone and the phone had no noticeable defects, the product
packaging needs to be improved. The seal on the box was broken, the screen
protector didn't adhere very well, the USB cable wasn't secured and the manual
appeared to be used. What Cell-Source didn't advertise is that the Nokia Lumia 900
is AT&T unlocked (versus factory unlocked) with some AT&T apps. While
you can uninstall the apps, the AT&T logo is permanent. When I turn on the phone,
I see the swirl plus "Rethink Possible". However since it's unlocked, it can be
used with GSM carriers other than AT&T. I use a T-Mobile SIM card and it works
fine. It's a neat phone and I'm looking forward to perusing the tutorials
available on the Internet to learn more. However, I do wish I could remove all of
the AT&T stuff. In addition to the product and seller reviews, I suggest
taking a look at the "Customer Questions & Answers" section on this product page to
find out more about the Nokia Lumia 900 prior to purchasing.
A friend showed me his 900 and I was so impressed I went out and bought a used one
(locked to AT&T) to try out. I tested it on the NET10 network, (which uses
AT&T) with the impression that Nokia phones were good, but the Windows software was
not....it turned out the Nokia phone is the best I have ever owned, the Windows 7.8
is also very good. The phone is very attractive and has caught a lot of attention,
it is extremely well built, very clear screen, with scratch free gorilla glass and
a rigid case made of some kind of resin. Pluses... Calls are very
clear, Both cameras are amazing, the flash is also very good. The camera
button is very conveniently located. The charge lasts all day better than
previous phones. The speaker is excellent for a tiny device like this...I am
very impressed. Skype is just phenomenal on this phone! best quality sound and
video I have ever seen on a phone! All the APPS I need are there! Nokia
Maps...BRILLIANT! Bing Translater....BRILLIANT! I also use Skype, Google
voice, Watsapp, Amazon Mobile/Kindle, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, Tune In Radio &
Tango on this phone! Has yet to freeze or crash after two weeks. A first!
 Minuses There is no external memory slot (though it does have a
built in 16GB memory, more than enough for my needs) Battery is non-removable
(shame) Conclusion. This phone has really impressed me and I
would recommended it to anyone who needs a well built phone that is reliable, with
clear calls and decent battery life! Is it better than an I phone? No idea,
never owned one! It is better, way better than some Android phones I have owned but
I am sure as good as the current higher end Android, it just depends on your
personal preferences. As regards "APPS" I found all the apps I needed, Nokia
Maps is an impressive stand in for Google Maps, Bing Translater is really very
impressive too! I have had no regrets at all about switching to this
phone and if you are willing to try it, I think you will like it!
I got my phone on Saturday after reviewing the customer reviews on here, and
youtubing the phone demonstrations I couldn't find any issues, of course until
after I got it.. I went to tmobile and had my SIM card cut down for free so that
was easy. I played with it all weekend and it worked great until I left my house
and tried to use my data plan for internet and send pictures.. I went back to
tmobile to see if they could set it up for me and they couldn't. the guy said, "oh
didn't anyone tell you our 4G data plans don't work on unlocked phones." And handed
me back the phone. I of course found out from the tmobile website that they have a
code or a series of APN and MMS codes to use, but I tried that and it still didn't
work.. So now I'm waiting for my job's IT guy to come back from vacation to figure
this out for me.. Other wise I love the phone and I'm just sending pictures if I
want to by email. The camera features are great and my wifi connection is pretty
fast. I can't think of anything else I've come across other than that.. It's not
the end of the world that I can't use my data plan while out and about or get any
MMS messages.. I'll survive.. Hopefully my work guy can figure it out and then I'll
be completely happy.
this is totally a unlocked phone. You can use it anywhere. This is a great phone
for anyone who is interested in windows phone. It is much better than iPhone
Great phone. Used an iPhone before and I am much happier now with the Lumia. I did not had a tousand apps in my iPhone so the transition was nice and
easy.
This is my first windows phone and so far, I am enjoying it. The price point here
is better than if I had bought it in the store I checked (you know, that US carrier
that advertises it does not "lock you into contracts"). The phone does everything I
need it to do and the features are exactly as advertised. No unpleasant surprises.
My only disappointment is that this particular phone is not "factory" unlocked (and
the sellers do not claim it is). So ATT branding is on the phone and on some of the
apps. Since I use this phone overseas and am not an ATT customer, I would prefer
not to have these ATT demarcations on my phone. In the past, I have been more
careful to select a factory unlocked phone but overlooked that detail this time.
Otherwise, the phone is easy to use and performs well, consistent with Nokia
standards.
not happy with the limited apps for this phone. I guess I will try it for a few
more months.
UPDATE: MMS function is broken. The phone can neither receive nor send images and
videos via text. I've tried troubleshooting it using every trick I could find on
the internet including the official forums of Microsoft, Nokia and my career, with
no result other than wasting almost an entire morning. And I am very tech-savvy
(seriously, I've hacked all my kindles so far. I use Linux. If I can't solve the
problem, not many can.) I deduct 2 stars from my 3-star review because
this is kind of a big deal for most users. Come on MS and Nokia, how do you expect
to survive against Apple and Android with a problem like this? UPDATE:
Zune constantly causes trouble. Every time I need to connect my phone to my Win 7
pro pc, I need to troubleshoot manually from the device manager to get the PC
recognize the phone. If this happened in 2004, I would understand. Back then, our
standards of plug-n-play were much lower. Now, they are high and especially because
THIS IS A WINDOWS PHONE CONNECTING TO A WINDOWS PC. How would the people who buy
iphones feel if they connect it to their macbooks and it fails to even recognize
the device? Dumb right? So, I take a star off. Still good phone for the price, but
if you can afford a good android, go for it I say. ORIGINAL
REVIEW: I bought this phone new on another website (woot.com, affiliate
of amazon) for 199.99, it was a great bargain for the price. I would consider
buying at Amazon.com's price too. Pros: 1- Very responsive
touchscreen. I can't tell the difference between the latest iphone and Lumia 900 in
this regard. 2- Light. 3- Sleek look. 4- Unlocked. (T-mobile doesn't
list 900 on their compatible phones list but everything works including 4g) 5-
Great price. Cons: 1- Zune. To connect it to a computer you
have to install Zune. Windows 7 doesn't even recognize the phone without Zune
(which is ironic, because it is after all a windows phone), I don't like producers
shoving down clinger-ware down my throat just because they can. The device has 16
GB memory (12 available after OS and updates). So, why the hell not install the
communication protocol on it and don't make me use Zune as interface. 2- The
landscape mode is a bit glitchy. It keeps going back to the portrait mode when you
enter a new contact to your phone book. You have to turn and twist it a bit to get
it back to landscape. 3- Not as many apps. Most app developers consider
windows platform a dead-duck. So, if you want to use the newest apps, stick to
apple or android. In-betweens: 1- Camera. It works well for a
phone camera but nothing to write home about. 2- Sound quality. Works well.
Again nothing special. The speakers can get very loud, do you really want to use
your phone speakers to listen to music? Verdict: Solid smart phone for
the price. It is near unjustifiable to pay triple for the newest Iphone or Android
machine unless you are crazy about the apps.
Pros: Intuitive, easy-to-use interface. Many tasks can be completed in less time
than on Apple and Android devices. Boots fast, decent battery life (always lasts
through the day). Stable and reliable. Exclusive Nokia apps like "Music"
and "Drive" give the device an edge over other manufacturer's windows
phones. As for design, the sleek, uni-body device really stands out. The
dedicated camera button can wake the phone, unlock it, and have the user snapping
photos immediately. Integration with Skydrive works very well. Cons: Windows app store is kind of limited, but only if you're looking for
a few specific apps. There are third-party workarounds for most popular apps. Not
compatible with Windows Phone 8 apps unless the developer ports it over. Camera quality is not as great as it should be. Some photos have a
yellowish tint to them. This can be fixed with an auto-fix feature that's built-in
to the device, but it's an extra step that seems unnecessary.
it as good as its description and worth keeping it! Everything is amazing when I
got this item, but window 7.5 system is truly not as smooth as windows 8 system,
the buyer need to consider this!
Love this phone! WP OS, is just extremely fast, fluid, and very smooth. The amount
of apps Nokia continue to push out, along with their support, make this phone a no
brainer to purchase. I've used Android as well as iOS, and yes WP OS is really a
breath of fresh air and a joy to use. I can honestly say the "Live Tiles"
are addictive and you won't just put your phone up in your pocket. It(OS) makes you
continue using your phone for everything possible. Anyway, enough about the OS,
more about the phone. This is one of the best built phones ever! Of course you will
have fans of the 800, 900 & N9, all are pretty much the same with small
differences(screen build and size). The color is sort of hard to explain, cause
depending on where and the lighting it can look several different shades of blue,
but every shade looks beautiful. When I'm out and have the phone on the table or
bar, never fails, a couple of people will ask about it and are simply amazed at the
beautiful of the phone. Well, this was only a quick little review, I will be
getting the new Lumia 920, HTC 8X, and also the HTC One X+, in the near future.
Phone is designed for At&T only, does not take other providers Sim. , don't know
why it's called unlocked GSM phone, if you can only use it with AT&T
This phone is not unlocked as was advertised on the web. You will have to find
someone to unlock it for you and it can cost about $40(and some places will not
touch it ). This phone was not knew as was advertised, the box was open and the
device has been used. This phone does not properly work. It can't reliably connect
to the T-mobile network, it will connect and drop connections soon after. I
searched the Web and found out that this is a known design issue which is driving
a lot of people crazy trying to configure the phone APN to work properly. The
network will work for few minutes and then disappear if the phone goes to sleep or
gets turned off. You will have to play with it for long time, tuning it On-Off-On ,
reset etc. before it comes back- BAD, BAD, BAD please avoid the headache and stay
away from this model. I like the window interface, it is easy to use,
but the phone network connection issue drove me crazy, and I have to return it. Now
I am waiting to see if the seller will honor the return policy.
Nokia Lumia 900 wp7, a set back in evolution Base on price and moment in
cellular evolution I would expect this expensive beautiful designed smart phone to
work at least as easy and practical as any basic cell... Well this is not the case
with this toy.. THIS IS A VERY COMPLICATED PHONE!! - FORGET PRACTICAL
USE WITH THIS GADGET Simple, practical and easy is not part of the
philosophy in this phone.. Things you might be used to do on a couple of
clicks, here they take 5 to 6 actions away (or more) and time consuming and
frustrating results in many cases.. Understanding and finding your way
around with Nokia Lumia 900 wp7 is a very high time consuming effort .. So if you
are a busy person and like technology to improve your timing working routing, this
is not a phone I would recommend.. Because many "Basic" cell functions
are missing in the software wp7, and the only option you'll find is to search
endlessly the "market place" to find app that may or may not suit your needs,
download them, install them and use them for a while to see if they really work for
you.. (mean while consuming the phone memory capacity) And in my case, I don't want
to pay for apps that I have no proven knowledge how they work... So you'll end up
searching the "free" category (which have advertising on them) -No smart
dialing (while you type a number does not display contacts that match the
number) -No possibility to customize font size -No "select or select all"
option when typing -No "one space back/forward" buttons option when typing
and/or correcting, editing any text -No undo -No cut -No possibility
to see or view the date when typing a note, message or document -No return or
back to previous task -No easy friendly connection, transfer of data through
USB and PC -No contacts transfer, share, backup, update, save, import, export
through USB or Bluetooth to your PC or other services -No Bluetooth connection
to other phones or PC for picture, music or file transfer - -Forget about
Bluetooth services with this device (only a handful services incorporated) e.i.
hands free and speakers, it's about it.. -No message (SMS) save or export to
PC.. -SMS threads font very small size -For a pretty big screen,
contact's info (phone numbers, address, e-mail, notes, etc) are ridiculously small
font size!!! (can't change it) -What happened to font selection "Small,
Medium, Large"? -No compatibility to PC Suite (Nokia's software) -No
ringtone selection as desire by user from own music files -No volume set up by
user for default ringtones -Volume adjust same for every sound (lets say I
just want to set up SMS sound louder but only that, it can't it won't let
you) -No sound selection as desire for "new sms" or "new email" or "reminder"
you are obliged to use its small library of boring sounds -the sounds options
for "new sms", "new email" or "reminder" doesn't let you customize its loudness or
volume independently. -No option in selecting any song from your library as
ringtone, message, sms, alarms sounds -When playing a song from my Lumia's
phone library, it doesn't have a possible way for moving ahead or scroll through
the song (forward or rewind) -No phone book option on "people" (only internet
accounts or all mixed) -Contacts have a Fixed platform that does not let you
customize the Titles for Phone numbers -On Contacts the list of options for
labeling Phone Numbers is short!! or limited. -If a Contact's name is longer
than the space on screen, it wont let you see the complete name, it won't show it
even if you place it horizontal view.. -The Export/Import option (that you
have to locate and download) for getting my Phone contacts from my older Nokia or
iPhone to my Lumia, works mediocrely and poor, many details were left out... -
No "draft" folder for SMS -No "recent" option for choosing contacts on sending
SMS -No multiple selection of contacts on one step procedure for sending sms
(as on "Android") -No possibility to create custom SMS folders, i.e. saving
moms sms -Calendar "Month" view too small, unreasonable unreadable, no visible
marks, tags, color or water marker for events -No scrolling day by day on
calendar "month view", neither on "calendar day view". -Confusing calendar day
view (looks like an endless list) -Only hourly settings on calendar day view
(No minutes settings i.e. 2:30, 4:45, 10:15 or whatever) it is set up by default as
a unnecessary long list even if empty.. -No summary view of daily set events
when day selected on "calendar month view" (without having to go or redirected to
day view) -let's say you enter a specific reminder on the calendar, and this
repeats let's us say 4 days in a row.. Well there is no way to copy the whole thing
and paste it, you got to re-write it all on each day independently on the
calendar. -No tile color and/or size customize by user (a Tile is like a icon
for shortcuts to a desired function or application) -What happened to saving
contacts on the phone?? Only on a E-mail account?? -if you are entering a
phone number that already exists on your contacts (but you don't know) it won't
tell you it already exists. -No adding feature of related apps to a single
"tile" to group them (as on iPhone) -Sometimes people can get dizzy scrolling
all the way down (or through) the endless "tile" collection set up you might end
up having, trying to make short cuts to phone functions. -They claim Zune (the
connection app for PC and Lumia phones win7) is the ultimate software, but then
again a set back in evolution.. Is quite a drag having to connect and disconnect
your device in order to see or check if the file has been transferred.. (I get
"envy" my wife transferring, music, pictures, etc from her computer to her cell
phone ;-) and vise versa) -Many times when "editing" the info of a song
(artist, album, etc) this info would appear on your PC but not updated on the
phone.. -Many albums from my collection do not appear on my Lumia "album
list" -Many artists from my collection do not appear on my Lumia "artist
list" -If you have a long list of music files as I do, with this software
"Zune" I have to scroll all the way to find an specific music file (no "find" or
"search") -arranges pictures by date.. which is fine, but what about trying to
arrange by folder.. quite tricky -No lock/unlock gravity (when leaning to one
side on the coach the view changes to horizontal, and that is not necessary what I
want) -When I need to write a contact's number in different formats for
dialing purpose (i.e. +country code, city, number vs city code, number, the
software will hide one or the other -Only one option for labeling a cell
number, many times a contact will have more than 2 cell numbers, but here we have
only one option to label a cell number, "CELL PHONE" (but only once) How do you
label the second cell number? Home? Work? Ridiculous!! -Same thing for work
numbers, there's only two "work" labels available (what if there are more than 2
work numbers as usually happens?) -No "main" and no "general" labeling for a
contact's number -Only three (3) email addresses can be saved for a contact,
and have a fixed label -No phone search, if want to search any thing from one
place like most devices (phone search), this does not have it... -When you
choose to forward an email, there isn't possible way to edit the content being
forwarded. -And so on... *I have found that many users report that
Nokia Lumia 900 w7 phone or device SHUTDOWN UNEXPECTEDLY VERY FREQUENTLY having to
check constantly if the phone is on.. And find out that has been OFF for who knows
for how long.. Can you imaging this? Expecting an important call or text message
and find out that the phone has been OFF for who knows how long... Well, mine is
not the exception !!! it shuts down very frequently and unexpectedly, very annoying
!! IN THE OTHER HAND If your life is lacking emotions and
adventure.. You'll find this phone very amusing and entertaining... And time
consuming.. -Nice connectivity to the internet, this is more of a
internet, social networking device and software... But not a phone!! -Nice
prediction help while typing, but needs an UNDO and back/forth cursor option, and
improve finger selection -Many things can be "Pin to start" (but size and
color can't be customized) but then again, you'll end with a long selection of
tiles and therefore scrolling endlessly through them to find the one you need to
click -"forward" is hidden under reply button for sync email accounts ..and you better have a 20 20 sight NOTE: I bought this phone
because I used to be a Nokia fan.. I have tried to love this device but has
disappointed me in a way I didn't expect.. for a "smart phone" no so smart.. NOTE: Never the less, I see potential in this device, with an update (or
Updates, that I doubt would happen) this would be one of the best and complete
smartphones! If they ever care to make the necessary updates.. Next time
I'LL get a different one, but not a windows phone.
If you are looking to purchase an unlocked phone do not buy!! The phone it self is
great but if you are looking to activate with any company other than at&t buying
this phone serves no purpose. It cost me 100 bucks to activate the phone with
another service (t-mobile) only to find out that this phone was not unlocked. I
have been a week without a phone and it is really nerve racking. It will be at
least another 50 bucks to get it unlocked in which I will be waiting 3-5 buisness
days to get my phone back. Me personally, cannot wait that long. I will be asking
for a refund!!
I've logged four trips and more than six hours at the ATT store trying to get my
new Windows phone to be able to receive email from my Apple iCloud account. I
thought it must be me simply being dense. And nobody at the store knew that it
couldn't be done. But that's the case! My bad. I bought a Windows phone
made by Nokia: the Lumia 900. Really ELEGANT. Very affordable. Sweet, except I
can't read my email thru Apple on this device. It's like asking somebody for
directions and being told "you can't get there from here." Seriously, in this
modern era, for three computer giants (Microsoft, Nokia, Apple) and a major
communications company (ATT) to sell a phone which can't (won't!) receive email
from a competitor is dumbfounding. There oughta be a law! After being
told the situation by the very patient, intelligent, lovely people who persistently
tried to help me at the store, I came home and called ATT just to verify that this
disconnect was fact. The kind lady in phone support put me on hold and soon came
back to tell me that, indeed, this was a definitive finding. And it holds for the
920, 925 and 1020 models, as well. Further research would seem to
suggest that Apple is the fly in the ointment. So I've hit upon a solution. I will
become my own email host. As I already own a domain name for my WordPress blog,
thru Godaddy, I will begin using it as my primary email account, phasing out Apple.
Hey, buying a Windows phone was a step away from being monopolized, and now Apple
has pushed me one more down the path. NB: I revised this review from one star to
five after some deep reflection, pain, and clarity. I had bailed on gmail a year
and a half ago; and now I'm bailing on iCloud. Don't do evil. And don't be a chump.
I bought this phone because i heard so many great things about it however, it does
NOT allow many apps at all quite disappointing since I love instagram this really
broke my heart its a great phone but not if your an app person
A very good phone, connection fast, an excellent size, especially for viewing
websites. Allows sharing of a simple, fast and fluid. The downside of
this device is that suddenly goes off, to turn it back on you have to perform a
soft reset.
We have a walmart family mobile account that works with any phone that takes a sim
card. We were skeptical on this phone because right off the bat the picture
messaging didn't work. Turns out it was just a configuration detail that was fixed
after some online searching. Phone works great. The color is very different.
Gets compliments. Being able to hear in noisy and quiet environments is good.
Texting, signal and email all good. Was a great price for a good phone.
This was my first smartphone. I am mildly impressed. When it works it is great but
boy is this is a Windows phone!! :[ # Great I can carry my word document with
me! # Wait one minute did my phone just freeze up? My sister and I had a
head to head battle over who's smart phone was coolest she has an Iphone 5. In the
middle of the text battle my phone screen froze. I had to turn off the phone and
reboot. As a devote PC user we are all used to that. She laughed but I had a
slighted chuckle as we discussed the bills. I have greater freedom and control of
cost because I can switch carriers since my affordable smartphone is not tethered
to one carrier she can not. Isn't this the classic PC vs Apple debate do you want
a usable gadget that you afford or a perfect gadget that cost a mint? Things
that Nokia can improve: No I am not getting a Microsoft account are you
serious? Another account for me to forget the password to and spend money for app
that are last week before I master them?No!!! Still have not got the radio app
to work. Please how do you remove all that AT & T stuff? Other than that
no complaints. Update, I have had this phone for four months and I can not
receive picture that are texted to me and this phone does not work with Family
Mobile data plan. I have downloaded updated and turn myself inside out trying to
figure out what am I doing wrong. This phone although stating unlock can not be
used to almost any but talk text and music storage without AT&T. I left AT&T
because they are so expensive and in Chicago calls are dropped constantly I did not
want to go back but here I am crawling back to AT&T buying a more expensive and
limited data plan just to make this stupid phone work. This is not unlocked as
stated and will not work well with other wireless plans with web and pictures don't
waste your money.
The Windows platform is a nice change from the traditional Android or Apple phones.
I am a TMobile subscriber so bought the unlocked phone. Didn't like that it has
AT&T printed on the screen in the upper right hand corner, but LOVE that I can
remove all of the pre-installed AT&T apps!! Most phones, you are stuck with
whatever apps they load for you and you can't get rid of them. Not a problem on
this phone. Also, this was my first experience with an on-screen keyboard. I have
always stuck with phones with a full QWERTY keyboard for texting because I hated
how small the keys are on-screen, but this one is perfectly spaced and large enough
so I dont make typos! Oh, and when I do make a typo (especially in texting) it has
spell-check AND auto-corrects some of the words for me!! Phone is very easy to
navigate and works great!! I love it!!
I want to love this phone because there is a lot to love. But, two things have me
very frustrated. The first is that in the picture it did not indicate a carrier-
but when I got the phone it is for AT&T and it has a ton of their stuff on there (I
am a T-Mobile customer). I cannot send pictures via text and think this is an
incompatibility issue with T-Mobile and the phone being programmed for AT&T. As
you can probably tell, I'm not a techie. I get nervous when I want to use the
navigation app, for example, and it comes up talking about AT&T's data plan. If I
use it, am I going to get charged for something even though I have a data plan with
T-Mobile since it's an AT&T app? I also have trouble getting my emails, at times,
but not always. Don't know what that's about. It will frequently say it is having
difficulty getting a Wi-Fi connection- never had this problem with my last cheap
(but T-Mobile) phone. I have googled the texting pictures issue and
clearly I am not the only one having this issue. However, the "fixes" some techies
identified have not worked for me- or some others who were having the same problem.
My son also got an unlocked Lumia (710 vs. my 900) and he can't text pics either.
He spent hours on the phone with Nokia but they couldn't figure it out. The T-
Mobile people gave him a new sim card but said if that didn't work, it's a phone
(Nokia) issue not a service issue. His new phone also doesn't get incoming calls
(they go straight to v/m) although he gets regular texts and can make calls. Nokia
couldn't figure that one out either. My other son, however, got an unlocked Nokia
(also a 710) but it has the T-Mobile logo on it- he doesn't have any of these
problems. So, now, I don't know if I should return it or keep it. I
know I will end up costing me to return it. And it's a beautiful phone in every
other way. I really love a lot of it's features. But, I would never buy another
unlocked phone unless it has the T-Mobile logo on it (and they seem to be hard to
come by. Probably will get harder now that they don't have contract any more).
Just be wary...
First of all please make sure you don't buy the product from the seller
"BREED"... One of the worst seller. Phone was damaged..Charger
was malfunctioned... For the product point of view, aesthetically it looks
really cool. Very nice battery life... But as it is windows phone not
many apps. Even Whatsapp n that kind of famous apps also has a bit lesser
facilities than they provide in Android phones. I liked the phone(Hardware)
but please make sure of the seller.... The seller "Breed" is
horrible....
This phone really made me happy. I wanted to save money so I went with an unlocked
on a pay as you go plan. The WP7.8 is great. It does take a little setting up to
get the best results. I am getting a lot more out of it than I got from my Iphone.
The screen is a great size the candy bar shape Is great in your hand. The weight is
perfect for me does not feel like a piece of plastic. The speaker on the phone is
better quality than the Iphone. The music quality is good and the nokia specific
windows phone apps are really good particularly the Nokia Music and the City Lens.
I will mention although this is no reflection on the phone itself that the number
of apps available did not match the iphone but I can still use my browser to access
some of the missing banking apps. The accessories are resnobly priced also.
I got the phone and was surprised that it uses a micro-sim card, so I went on-line
to buy one and came across a site that showed how to cut down regular sim card. I
followed the instructions and it worked. The battery time is not that great. It'll
go two days if I use the music player on bluetooth all work day since I don't use
the phone for calls that much and not into social media. The things I've used it
for works great on internet and lots of apps available.
I got this phone to do the bring your own phone thing with straighttalk at first I
didn't think it was unlocked but come to find out it was a mistake I made... I
missed one letter with the info straighttalk gave me lol but I have internet and I
can receive and send pictures and I absolutely love the phone
I finally convinced my husband to ditch the blackberry and get a Nokia. We searched
and searched and he really liked this phone, According to him this phone is more
user friendly and easier to operate. "I love my new phone" are his exact
words.
love the phone but its not new first phone the screen was gouged and could tell
instantly it was a used phone. second phone screen scratched not gouged like first
phone but still scratched being offered as new don't fall for it. as far as the
phone itself great phone played with the windows with my Wi-Fi debating if I wanna
keep it or not if its takes as long to receive a refund as it did my second phone
from tablet distributors I might as well keep it as my current provider service is
failing fast in my area
beautiful color, very nice keys. wish it had removable mem card. but is very
fluent, hasnt' hung up yet. have the tuxedo and screen protectors on it.
It is amazing just wish had more apps but otherwise its prefect it is alot faster
then my old apple iPhone 4
The ability to transfer the existing contacts from the old SIM to the new phone
should work, but for some odd reason that feature is turned off on this phone. Is
it a Windows 7 limitation or a phone defect, it was good enough reason for me to
return the phone back.
I have this phone for two weeks. Its great phone with 4g speed and good call
qaulity. Only problem is that it freezed up twice during two weeks of usage. I have
to turn off and on for phone to work Again. <a

I am so happy with my new phone, I would recomend this cell phone to anybody. the
price was really good
In general I think that this cell phone is completely awesome the only think that
I don't love at all is that the windows system needs to have more opportunity to be

I really like the phones and I think I will be getting my own soon, though I don't
know if my parents will find them easy to for they were a gift to my parents . The
only thing I was ever happy about is the confusion that occurred when I placed this

The Nokia Lumia 900 smartphone features a large and vibrant 4.3" AMOLED
ClearBlack Display. The AMOLED (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode)
technology increases the refresh rate of the screen and enhances the contrast ratio
while reducing energy consumption to increase battery life. The ClearBlack Display
(CBD) feature blocks incoming light reflections through a polarized layer to
improve screen visibility under direct sunlight. This smartphone does not shy away
from technology to enrich the user experience.
Supposed to be an unlocked gsm phone,but after activating it with straight talk
just says requires code to use on service.! used code I setup I presume I either
need the right code from ATT,Nokia or strtaight talk(I have 4 try left :()
If only all phones were Nokia, then the world would be a happier place! No other
phone for me! Great!
Received this last month and and only problem i have encountered is that the person
on the other end of the line barely hears me
excelente, dinamico, muy versatil , la camara es de alta resolucion ,las
dimensiones son modernas y funcionales me gusta mucho
I love my Nokia Lumia. It was a bit tough to get used to at first but luckily my
brother had the same phone for a while so he helped me. My mom also has this phone
and she loves it too. It's a great phone! A bit pricey but worth it!
Beautiful device, works fine, and boy, it has great audio quality and video! Its
dial is easy to read. I am happy with it!
very easy to use.. good cam.. fast downloading app.. and is cute 100%
recommended .. I'll be waiting for lumia 920 and windows 8
The phone is awesome. I have this phone now since one month and I have no problem
with it. It is big, it looks great, it is perfect. Also I am really happy,
that I choosed Windows Phone this time. To everyone: Windows Phone is really
different, so you have to get used to it, but it is now in my eyes the best of all
the OS for me! The service had no problems. I ordered the phone and it
arrived after 7 days, it was new, everything was top!
I am really not very happy with this phone...Windows and Bill Gates have gotten a
little too cute with all the "features" this phone has to offer! Too
complicated to add contacts; to complicated to bluetooth contacts from old phone to
new one. Does not accept certain apps and features; ie, Yahoo Messenger; Amazon MP3
player; ... Also, got T-Mobile for my service (another "recommendation")
and phone stays in "emergency" mode most of the time! Will need to change
my service! Not good! Love Nokia, great camera; good phone and phone
features; spent too much money to not use it now; but, truly disappointed! Wish I
had purchased a Nokia WITHOUT Windows platform! Frustrated!
I used to love Nokia phones because I consider them user friendly, so I bought this
phone with the same expectations, however I was disappointed to find out so
many faults with the phone, firstly, the battery life is nothing to write home, the
touch screen freezes at will and 6 months after purchase, the phone finally stop
working, I took it to Nokia care center where I was informed that the warranty on
it has lapsed, and the phone could not be repaired, anyway that sounded the death
knoll on the phone that I barely used for 6 months.
Windows 8 apps are a welcome change from iOS. Among the three ecosystems, I prefer
Android, Windows 8, and iOS in that order. Blackberry, what ?! For ease of use,
Windows phone is really easy to use. Lumia 900 has been succeeded by Nokia Lumia
920. For someone interested in a first smartphone which doesn't break the purse,
Lumia 900 is an excellent choice. User interface in Windows 8 is very pleasing and
this is one of best phones with awesome user experience. If you prefer great user
experience over infinite hackability, aka Android, then Windows 8 phones are great
choice. Lumia 900 has 4.3" (109 mm) 800x480 resolution 217 ppi 16m
compared to the Lumia 920 which has a 4.5" IPS LCD, 1280x768 resolution, 332 ppi
display. This phone has up to 16 GB storage and 512 MB RAM compared to Lumia 920
which has 32 GB storage and 1 GB RAM. Lumia 900 has 8 MP camera and 720 p video
compared to Lumia 920 which has a 8.7 MP camera and a 1080p HD Video. 1.4 GHz
Qualcomm Scorpion processor compared to Lumia 920 which has a 1.5 GHz dual core
processor. I have extensively used in the past HTC Titan I and II which is pre
Windows 8 (7.5) and I was surprised it has become more buttery smooth now. This
phone has Gorilla Glass compared to Lumia 920 which has Gorilla Glass 2. Glass 3
is in the making and supposed to be even better. Stating following because this is
highly underrated in reviews. From Corning's Gorilla Glass specs; WHAT MAKES
GORILLA GLASS SO DAMAGE RESISTANT? The unique composition of Gorilla Glass allows
for a deep layer of high compressive stress (created through an ion-exchange
process). This compression acts as a sort of "armor," making the glass
exceptionally tough and damage resistant. Ion exchange is a chemical strengthening
process where large ions are "stuffed" into the glass surface, creating a state of
compression. Gorilla Glass is specially designed to maximize this behavior. As you can see Lumia 920 has, what I would say incremental upgrades over
900 but nothing earth shattering. Lumia 900 as well as 920 does not support
microSD expansion. I always feel this is a bummer. But with 32GB it is plenty with
current app ecosystem. These phones seem to be copying iPhone philosophy. Battery
1830 mAh Lithium polymer battery (Compared to a high end Android Galaxy Note II,
which has a battery of 3100 mAh Battery.) Unlike the Nokia Lumia 820, the Lumia 900
as well as 920 doesn't have a removable battery cover, which means you can't access
or replace your battery. __Not having a storage expansion slot is a bummer for lot
of people! Not being able to remove battery is a double bummer.__ For me, storage
expansion and removal of battery is very important, so I was disappointed. This is
the downside the unibody design. Phone quality was excellent and
speakerphone was awesome. Nice to see built in active noise cancellation with a
dedicated mic. Lumia 900 has Bluetooth 2.1, whereas Lumia 920 has Bluetooth 4.0.
I was able to get excellent reception with Bluetooth headset, <a

BlueBuds X Sport Bluetooth Headphones - Midnight Black</a> All the usual
smartphone stuff, facebook, twitter, music, emails etc are all excellent. It is
only the third party apps that are lacking in some arenas. If you are Microsoft
heavy like Office suites, Lumia phone are awesome! Lumia 900 has the
diagnostic tool. It can be obtained by pressing ##634# on the dial keypad, which
should initiate the download after the last # is pressed. The diagnostic tool
should appear on the app list under Diagnostics.On this diagnostic tool one can run
tests on the following: Accelerometer, ALS, audio loopback, camera, battery status,
DTMF, gyroscope, hardware buttons, headset detection, LCD white, lights, life
timer, magnetometer, power source, proximity, speaker, touch and vibration. It's
also possible to perform all the tests in one run. This is really cool to have this
power at the user's hand! Apps are limited in Windows 8 marketplace.
Yes, we have heard this a gazillion times. Lumia has GPS receiver with A-GPS and
GLONASS support. I tried with Garmin Navigon app which turned out to be great in
giving voice directions. App ecosystem is a chicken and egg situation. Unless more
phones are sold, developers don't have incentives to write apps. Apps are less now,
because people are not buying in big droves. Windows Phone is now (early-mid 2013)
the third-leading mobile phone platform, more than tripling its market share year-
over-year. One recent report I read Android and iOS are ahead in games with 162.1
and 37.4 million shipments in 1Q13 and Windows phone came in 7 million. This is
more than double from previous year. I really hope for Windows 8 platform to surge
ahead because having a 3 way competition with iOS and Android is good for the
ecosystem. ONE LINE SUMMARY: The Nokia Lumia 900 is certainly the best
and cheapest Windows Phone 8 smartphone on the market, it was really the best in
2012, but if you don't mind the budget get the 920 or 820 (for microSD card slot).
It's not unlocked! I am very dissatisfied with this product the main reason to
buy it is that was unlocked.
The Phone came in a fake package. The Att sign was just a swirl, and when you open
the box its just the phone and when you open it up it has a charger a only one
manual. The phone also had major bumbs on the bottom, but I orderd a
case so it didnt really matter. The software is great. The marketplace had almost
every app I needed and more. It had whatsupp, viber, facebook, kik. The x-box live
feature was good. Maden 12 was like $2. Overall the phone is great and
for the price whoo. Better than my moms iphone 5.
I got my Nokia Lumia 920 from AT&T 1 month ago exactly, and today it turned itself
off. I've been unable to get it to turn back on. The folks at AT&T were also unable
to help me turn it back on, so they're mailing me a new one. But if I could have my
way, I would trade it in for an Android. The camera on this thing is excellent, no
doubt about that, but most apps are developed only for Android or iPhone. I can't
get many of my favorite apps on this, so it definitely left me wanting. Games that
were free on my Samsung cost $1.99 on a Nokia. AND THERE IS NO POSSIBLE
WAY TO REPLACE THE BATTERY ON THIS THING. I want everyone to be aware of that.
Though I hear that most of the newer phones are heading in that direction.
Manufacturers are starting to get greedy. Now when the battery dies, we can't just
go out and buy a new battery. The entire phone will have to be replaced. It's big and clumsy. I miss my Samsung. The call clarity is great, the OS
is good, and it links up very well with hotmail (all of my camera pics were on my
SkyDrive, even though I didn't put them there). I just feel like all these perks
would also have come with a Samsung. That's it.

I chose 1 day shipping and it did actually come the next day, so it shipped fast.
First, I do not think it is new because it was not in original packaging. It was in
a Lumia 900 box, but the phone was not secure in it, just kind of banging around
inside. It did not come with headphones, and the manual looked photocopied, so that
was not original either. So if you think you will get something like if you bought
it at the store, you won't. Anyway, I've been using the phone for about 2 weeks
now, and it seems to be fine. It actually is unlocked. I am using it with Straight
Talk. The description is wrong in that it does NOT have a microSD slot. It has 16GB
internal memory ONLY. There is no slot for a microSD. The phone itself is working
fine though, and I am happy with it. I was a little worried after reading some of
the reviews, but I really wanted a Lumia 900 so I took the chance. So far, so good.
My seller was DealInABox, I think it was. I gave 4 stars instead of 5, because it
did not come with headphones and it seems to be used or refurbished and it had
already been unboxed, as indicated by the phone just banging around inside the box
and not being secure, as well as the photocopied manual, and missing headphones. I
would rather have had a new one like the description said, but for only 300 dollars
AND unlocked, I won't complain too much about it. So far, I am happy with my
purchase.
I bought this phone on November/2012. About one week ago, its touchscreen simply
stopped working. I've turned it off and on several times but to no success.
Searched the net for an explanation and a solution with no success. The only
solution was to take it to an authorized repair office. I'm still waiting for their
answer about what happened to my phone.
Got this phone last week and really like it, although they unboxed it now i'm
waiting for WP version 7.8
The seller I purchased from, had my phone to me within 24 hours. Great service. It
then took me two days to find APN settings that worked. Make certain you upgrade
your new Windows Phone through Zune. Takes a little time but it is worth it. Beyond
that, my provider's customer service was useless. It took far too long but I
eventually got the right settings and the phone works like a charm. Crystal clear
voice, and most of my familiar apps. Still working on finding some settings and
details, but I am very pleased.
I ordered this phone about a week ago. And its been really great since. Positives - The colour display is amazing on this phone -It has a
single-core 1.4GHz, that works GREAT! _ - Even though it is a
Windows 7.5 (up gradable to 7.8), it still offers so much. Youtube HD,
facebook, twitter, skype, whatsapp, tango .. a bunch of apps that satisfied
me. -The camera is great! Both back and front. - ZUNE!: Some
people complained about the fact that they needed a software to put music, videos
and photos on their phone, but it turned out GREAT! If you know how to use the
software effectively, you can put music and videos, onto the collection you want
and it can sync wirelessly! -The phone feels strong and well built; I
mean it should for the size and weight, I guess. -From watching screen
reviews on youtube, the screen can be used as a hammer to pound in nails to wood!
So the screen is really good and apparently doesn't scratch easily although, I
haven't able to test it. -The games are great, but the really good ones
you got to pay for .. lol .. buts thats the case for everything. -Having
Microsoft Office on your phone is great for students and people who need to write,
edit and read docs on the go. The photo-editing capabilities are great!
 Negatives -even though I knew it was this big (dimension wise) I
didn't get a feel for the phone, so when it came, it felt a little too big to be
comfortable in your hand. So I'll suggest to anyone, to ensure that you are
comfortable with a phone this big.(And Heavy) -Some of the apps for
windows phone 7.8, to me, were poorly designed. E.G facebook: you are limited to
what you can do from your phone compared to what you can do on the computer, to me,
that shouldn't be. - I wish there was a longer battery life. I more or
less have to charge it everyday. Not sure what other phones offer on the market.
But I don't like it. lol
My order was fulfilled by TABLET DISTRIBUTORS without incident. This is an AT&T
phone it has their logo on the front and on the boot up screen. I am using it with
no problems on prepaid T-Mobile no data service. This phone is a little heavier
than I expected from a plastic phone. It can be updated to WP 7.8 but not any
further. The update process wasn't exactly easy, but it's doable. For my
purposes the battery makes it through about 10 hours, between recharges. On
the downside since it can't be upgraded to WP 8.0 there is no way for you to
transfer music to it without a cable and the Zune software, which isn't as bad as I
feared, but still annoying. The Bluetooth pairing works well with my 2013 Subaru
and my Panasonic home phone. It syncs with your google account for
contacts ok, but numbers with a custom label are not synced, unfortunately.
since I received the phone I have not been able to use because it asks me for a
code to unlock. And in Venezuela I have sought someone that knows how to unlock it
and nobody knows. Now I do not know what to do with the phone. I feel very cheated
I was very disappointed. When I purchased the phone it said new, but it wasn't. The
phone had a couple scratches and it was repackaged. It did not come in a Nokia
lumia box and the only thing I got was a charger. The phone itself works fine but
the seller failed.
I bought this phone for my daughter's birthday. It was all good when we received it
even though the seal was broken. I thought that was due to our customs
checking to ensere. It appears now that the back arrow is not going back all the
time and the dpone is sticking at times. I am so disappointed with this
phone. I do not think that a phone for this price should be giving any trouble
at all.....:( :(
I bought this phone in white a few months ago. my boyfriend liked it so much that I
gave it to him. I ordered the blue one for me. we love them.
It surpassed all my expectations and the features are really cool. I would
recommend purchase to all. Enjoy! i am sure enjoying mine
The phone is everything that I expected it would be and it's easy to use for even
the inexperienced cell phone user.
This product have an ATT app. in my country dont have ATT services,, How can change
this? or delete this?
very nice excellent cell phone access is highly recommended fast internet has many
applications to download and it works very well the truth is excellent buy!
Only thing I don't like about this one is camera. Other than that, after going
through two updates via pc (no over the air update available), it's smooth, fast,
and awesome. However, I don't know why Zune music is displayed instead of Xbox
music even after updating the phone. Because of this , I can't use xbox music
pass. Other than that, 16gb is plenty, (I had problems with LG L9 because it came
with only 4GB, hard to install apps). No microSD though. I refuse to pay $700 for
a phone. This is perfect. THere are many windows apps. I only use navigation,
yelp, kindle, flixter, and audible so it's great. Oh and the GMail is not
accessible, there is no app for it, you have to go to the browser. Bluetooth works
great with my car. I canceled Rhapsody because Rhapsody on windows phone, at least
this one, is slow and lagging. So I uploaded music tracks and the navigation for
music is better than android apps I used before. Battery life is descent too.
Phone is a lot heavier than say, LG Optimus L9 but have a stronger built feel than
Lumia 521. I returned 521 due to volume button defect and freezing. It's funny
because 521 had microSD and xbox music. Too bad button stopped working, 521 is
cheaper too. But anyway I like this phone. PS: It came in AT&T
packaging even though it advertised as Unlocked GSM. Phone also has AT&T logo on
it. I am under TMobile. Anyway it works and I like windows better than android in
terms of getting rid of default network provider's apps easily since I am on T
Mobile. With an android phone, this would be impossible, at least the android
phones I've used. For example, I tried hard to get rid of at&t apps on my Motorola
phone when I switched to TMobile but I couldn't.
Awesome phone and you can update it to windows 7.8 through Zune, but you can get it
for $150 plus tax directly from amazon.com I ended up paying $163 total.
I've had the Nokia Lumina 900 for about a year and have not had a positive
experience. I initially purchased it through Best Buy for a two year AT&T
contract. I had multiple Nokia phones in the past (the awesome indestructible Meme
ones) and was really excited about this phone because it was my first smart phone
and I did not want an iPhone. Long story short, this phone looks nice, but it has
given me nothing but problems. About two weeks ago I woke up one morning to it
being worse than ever. I have not dropped it or done anything to break it. There
is no visible external damage but the issues that it has are significant (detailed
below). I went into Best Buy and they told me to contact Nokia. I contacted Nokia
and kept asking for help to get it fixed (even for a fee) and they said that there
was nothing they could do - that I would need to take it to a third party repair
vendor. Right now I'm looking at other phones and having to pay outside of
contract. The Pros: - Looks sleek. I do like the Windows UI with
the tiles. People do like it and comment on it. Because I've had good luck with
Nokia in the past and I did like this phone initially before the issues started, I
will give it two stars. - Size. I've seen many different phones and after
using this phone and getting used to it, the iPhones seems to small and the Galaxys
seem too big. This one feels just right. The Cons: - Camera: I've
compared the camera to my friend's iPhones and Galaxy pictures and I have to say I
prefer their pictures more. The Lumina 900's pictures offer less brightness and
contrast and end up being darker and blurrier in my experience. - Battery life
currently ~ 2 hrs (I've had it about a year and expected the battery to still be
going strong). - Messaging and internet does not work (this is broken for me,
so my experience may be atypical) - Windows OS. It has some good points and
some bad. I do not like how they require MS Zune for updates. Added account
flexibility would also help instead of forcing Windows Live. It comes across as
Windows forcing people to use their peripheral products when I don't need it. I
don't know too many people who have a Windows Live accounts as their primary email.
I know this is the OS and not the hardware, but it does make a difference. -
Initially group texts would just be seen as a single text from one person, and if
you replied it would only go to him or her and not the group. That was frustrating
for planning. - The Customer Support. I emailed them with my problems and
they sent canned replies each time until by the third time they just said they
could not help. I know this lack of support is common through the industry, but I
still don't like it. - I've had common issues of it just shutting down and
glitching and sometimes missing calls since about a few months after getting it.
It got a lot worse about two weeks ago and I'm not sure what happened. Overall I may have just received a lemon phone, so take my review for what it is.
If you get one that works, then I'd be a fine phone. Didn't work for me and I'll
probably try another manufacturer out next.
Thanks for all the Nokia lumia 900 I arrived on time and in my house I like it is a
excellent condition and as a customer I'm happy thank you very much
This was a great smartphone for its time. Got this as a replacement phone for my
mother. It is disappoint it doesn't support all of the new apps coming out that
only support Windows Phone 8 (Lumia 900 is running 7.8). The app selection is
really what cripples this phone.
I bought this for my bro who's studying in the States and he loves it so far, he
said. Makes me wanna get one for me.
THE ONLY THING I RECEIVED IN MY PHONE IS THE PHONE AND A HOUSE CHARGER. I DON'T
KNOW HOW TO OPEN THE PHONE OR HOW TO OPERATE THE PHONE. CAN YOU SEND ME THE REST OF
THE STUFF TO GO ALONG WITH THE PHONE PLEASE.
I was so excited to get this phone. I loved it! Until I realized the same day I got
it that the charger it came with didn't work on the phone. But it worked on my
other phone. Therefore there was something wrong with the phone. The phone couldn't
charge. I would constantly turn on and off on it's own. I sent it back three days
later. Such a bummer
everything is perfect, good job Nokia, low price and great product. I will
recommend everyone to buy this phone .
great phone best phone ever thank you the phone works great and helpful
recommend to everyone thank you its great
I bought one phone and it was good. So that, I ordered another one for my wife. The
second one was very bad. It did not come in a original box. The charger was not for
that phone and looks very cheap and low quality. The USB cable to connect to
computer was missing. The sim door key was missing either. So that I have just
returned it today. Can not understand why they could sell that product. I really
hate to return things as I waste my time for searching, ordering, returning, and
shopping again. Amazon must select providers more carefully!
I received this phone a day sooner than what was estimated, so that was awesome.
The phone was in perfect shape, and I have had no issues w service or anything (the
phone is an unlocked AT&T phone and I have T-Mobile service). The only unexpected
thing was that the phone takes a micro SIM, and I honestly had no idea what that
was. I called the seller, and he was very nice and explained to me what to do.
The Windows format takes some getting used to (I was used to Android) and there
aren't a whole lot of the normal apps available yet on the Windows Market...but I
still love it.
The phone is great,a mini computer,only one fault battery dies quick,but I
understand that's the fault with these smartphones.great phone
Overall a good phone, not a big fan of the app/game collection though. Have to
press the back button a hundred times to 'close' out of pages I've opened or they
keep running. Its got Zune instead of iTunes.
The phone works well and is pretty light, which is greatly appreciated. Having
previously owned an Android phone, I was disappointed by the lack of some apps I
had gotten used too, but everything else is pretty great.
I bought this phone for my dad because he needs to check emails and make phonecalls
( basic user overall). W8 interface is pretty solid for mature people
( big icons, big fonts and easy navigation ) Regarding hardware the
Lumia 900 is a solid phone. The battery lasts in standby for at lease a day. Great purchase IMO
It connected me with my family .i am using it without any problem.the best is the
camera which is 8mega pixels.
So ii Bought This Phone For My Mother And Well ii Was Kiinda Scared Cause ii Saw
Other Reviews That It Isn't Unlocked But It Is! :) The Only Problem ii Had Which
Was My Fault Is That ii Didn't Had A Mirco SimCard But ii Cut It For Myself And It
Works Perfect ii Would Suggest ANYONE To Buy This (Y)
Costumers realy have to like windows phone os, and this phone its a good way of
have everithing synchronyze with your computer
Excellent brand, I have to adapt myself to this kind of technology, and this is a
good way to start
Cons: Cannot receive picture messages, cannot do screen capture, sometimes when
talking on the phone mute button will press onscreen, if I am in a area where there
is no signal and move to area with signal it takes a while for it to catch signal
again sometimes have to restart the phone Pros: Good battery life, easy to
use, tiles on home screen easy to use, multiple windows open at same time
Great phone, I went with this phone to replace my HTC Trophy as my windows phone.
Just to let you all know I am using this phone over an Iphone 4s and a Nexus 4.
This is a rock-solid phone and love it. Windows Phone 7.8 is still a great OS, no
need for WP8
I want to download songs on the phone . How to do so when there is no spacwe for a
memory card and when the phone is hooked up to my PC the PC is not recognizing the
phone.
The product came on time with good package, excellent conditions, no problems at
all, my uncle is so happy with his new phone and the price is the best thing.:)
Because it has the same camera as Iphone has, I bought. But when I take the
pictures or videos, it can not beat Iphone at all, especially at night. I am a
little bit disappointed. I used to use a HTC, and my data worked well. By this
phone, I always lost my data connection. I don't know why it happens.
Overall I really like this phone. Only negative is the shortfall of apps compared
to iPhone and android. Battery life is good enough and the speed is very good. Like
the windows environment and live tiles. I have not been able to find a good clock
app, would like a live tile clock.
I like all nokia products and this is awasome. Besides, my son bought for a gift
and it works perfectly.
My husband loves this phone, is unlock but need Micro Sim card ,which you can get
for free with T Mobile!
Unlocked, I can use it for text and call. And I do have data plan but it'sd not
working... Was I doing something wrong?
great peice easy to handle and i like it very mcuh this is my third gift to my
friend pefect
I chose this phone because I like the features. The problem is when I send multiple
text it come back UNSEND. I had to resend it individually. Also some incoming text
I am unable to open because it shows a link to download media contact, but when I
click on the link it doesn't download.HELP
As you promise, the item arrive on time, thanks. I have to say that I was able to
open the box a few days later because a wasn't at home the day o arrival.
Battery isn't as good as I expected from Nokia, if not left alone would go flat in
12 hours. But overall really good. Impressed
Product arrived on time. So far I have had no problems with the product. Seems
robust like I expected from Nokia. I have never owned another brand and this hasn't
changed my preference yet.
I ordered 2 of these phones (1 for me and 1 for my hubby). They are both perfect
and work well with our carrier! Thank you so much!!
Windows Phone is awesome. It has a fresh interface than those of Android or Apple
and great phones.Great Buy. AWESOME.
I love this phone,it works great, it's fast,and the sleek look is awesome! I love
the color. Windows phones are awesome!
i love this phone. it is good for a starter windows phone i would have to say. and
no the power button isn't hard to push.you do how ever have to fully push in the
camera button but that's ok. and i ordered a net10 sim card for the phone and i
cant w8 till it gets here so i can use the phone properly. and i love the no
network no wifi working gps it is cool. only bad thing i see with it and it isnt
that big of a deal but there is no actual contacts list which will be confusing at
first. but all in all i love this phone
First off, the phone is gorgeous. Love the rectangular shape and sharp edges.
Everything's good except for a few things. The microphone is on the bottom of the
phone so sometimes people tell me they have a hard time hearing me and that I sound
muffled. Another thing is that you can't personalize the phone too much. For
example, you cannot use a song from your own music collection to be your alarm
tone. If there is a way, I don't know it.
Great Phone, Full of Features and Visually Appealing Menus. Although GSM
Unlocked, unable to get Data Across Straight Talk APN and WiFi. Suspect
Data would work across AT&T Network.
Very nice and bright display. Running very smoothly. Unfortunately still I have not
connect it to internet, due to the fact it requires mini sim card. Still I am
waiting for it, from my European mobile operator.
Good looking phone, sturdy, gorgeous screen and unlimited music (Nokia music), free
updated GPS maps from most of the world, the apps I need and a clean interface. I
don't like spending time customizing the appearance of a phone, with this you have
to be productive, it does the job. I can say it is really a steal for the (recent)
price. Last week it got just better with the upgraded to 7.8
I totally loved the phone, but unfortunately it was locked, but. I was looking for
an unlocked phone. i am very disappointed by this situation.
