I havent seen a Lumia 900 in person yet, but from what I can tell from the pics, it looks like it doesn't have the curved glass that the 800 does. I happen to think the curved glass is cooler looking & they shoulda kept it on the 900. Definitely a minor quibble, but still a bad decision imo.
I've also heard reviewers say the buttons dont respond well/have to really give em a hard push to take a pic, and that theyre hard to find without looking. Any of that true?
OH! Thought of another. Personally, I HATE the neon cyan. Of course variety is good, but if they're only going to offer 2 colors at first, they didnt go with a more popular color that more people would want (like a dark red or something) first? Straaaange business decision.
But I swear, I LOOOOOVE the phone more than any other phone by anyone. BEST looking, best designed, coolest phone, with the coolest, most intuitive OS of all.
BLASPHEMY! I think cyan is probably going to cell more from both genders (it's a more ambiguous color) than just a magenta phone that would sell mainly with women. That's what I assume they were doing, at least. They could have sold magenta alongside the cyan and black, though!Quote:

But sorry to blaspheme your phone. :D
Nokia isn't going for the dark colors on the Lumia line (besides the black phones). The leaked Nokia phones seem to have the crazy phones you're looking for, though! Sorry for your disappointment!Quote:

Agreed, I want good design to be promoted and awarded, that's why I want Windows Phone to succeed!Quote:

I guess the resolution on the 900 is lower than the 800. Increasing resolution is ALWAYS a good thing.
I've never actually used the device, but I think the power button is in a weird spot.
They're at the top resolution that Microsoft allows, but the screen size was increased from the 800. Essentially, they increased the screen size but the resolution stayed the same, making it a worse screen to read on... Apollo will fix this, thankfully, and we'll see some 720p displays. :)Quote:

Did I mention no LED notifications?
I've never had the pleasure of LED notifications. Is it a case of "Once you LED, you never go back?"Quote:

Windows Phone has the thing where you can just look at the lock screen as well, so I thin the LED would be only as useful as the lock screenQuote:
