Samsung will rule the smartphone world the next year's. Even the its not a smartphone its not a tablet selling very well. To bad n9 or lumia 900 don't have that formfactor.

Also...

it's called market equilibrium...
when a product is not sought after (demand low), price falls :D
for mobile phones, there is usually an initial period during which the price to pay, even with a contract, is higher (new products, bleeding edge and what not...)
then, as ppl get used to the product, other products with comparable or better features come out, the prices fall...

apparently, here, they didn't even bother with the initial phase ¦-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

as you pointed out yourself, the products technology is pretty much from yesteryear, the design looked cute a year ago or so, when it was 1st seen with the N9 and, well.... NOKIA
NOKIA?
:eek: :rolleyes:

EDIT: with that combo, it will take a miracle for Lumia 900 not to fail :p

Please move it there. Thank you.

There's nothing better than a ringing endorsement from ars technica.

The Nokia Lumia 900: A good phone at a great price that you probably shouldn't buy

Quote:

The Nokia Lumia 900 is a good phone. It looks*great and comes at a fantastic price: between $0 and $99 on contract or about $450 contract-free. Unfortunately, you probably shouldn't buy it.

The problem isn't the phone hardware. Although its specifications are not the highest, the phone is reasonable for the price, and in practice it remains fast and fluid for everyday tasks.

Nor is the problem the phone software, at least, not as such. Windows Phone 7.5 is, for the most part, a well constructed, slick operating system. It's not perfect, and there are gaps that I'd like filled (for example, I'd like support for VoIP applications), but it's eminently livable. Nokia's unique applications—Drive, Transit, Maps—are all valuable additions that greatly enrich the platform.

No, the problem is, well, the future. Unlike the dumbphones of yore, smartphones are chock full of complex software; software that has bugs, and software that doesn't necessarily do everything that you might want. But this is OK, because it also gets better. Bugfixes are released, new features are added, APIs are extended to enable more powerful applications, and the phones improve with time.

With a dumbphone, the phone is at its best on day one. With an updatable smartphone, it's at its worst on day one.

The problem is, it's not clear just what the Lumia 900's future really is. This is a problem with two causes: AT&T and Microsoft.

Who wrote that article? My 9 year old writes better than that. There are many positive articles on Lumia 900 and you choose this illiterate piece.
