Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Considering that the lumia 920 Will Be Available widely In Less Than A Month For Roughly $650. Why Would You Buy A New N9 for $400? Just looking at the hardware, dont look at Meego or wp8. Just the better hardware is worth $250. The new camera seems like it would be worth bragging about.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Hardware is just a useless brick without software.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

No either... WP is so lame as hell and there is only talk.maemo.org -support for the Nokia N9. Whait for Jollas Phone or buy an Android!

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

LG Nexus 4 is the only correct answer atm.

between the dilemma though... get the N9.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Since I already have an N9, I would go for Lumia 920 :p

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Or if you really like tune your systems and phone which is very nice to use, but don't carry many apps. Then go and buy the Nokia N9! I personaly love it!

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Be a mistake to get N9. Beta OS, maps and navigation work inconsistently, freezes, lags....why would you waste your money on that?

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Can you love it not personally? Looking at hardware: get l920. Looking at both hardware and software(the right way): get n9. My friend has sgs3. Recently he said that he admits that nokia is the best. I was quite confused, he wanted to compare our beloved n9 to his sgs3. He said: "I've got a quadcore cpu, plenty of ram. What do you have?" (single core 1gb ram). Comparison: Phone app opened much quicker on N9, Contacts opened much quicker on n9. Messages opened at the same time on both phones. He is ok with his phone. "I've got one of the fastest android phone. And it lags, quite a lot. I can't imagine how crappy must all these cheap ones be." Truth be told, n9 is still among the best you can get.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Wow...if android is opening slower than N9, than lumia 920 is a Ferrari compared to N9 as a yugo

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Well, I would argue about it here but I know it's a impossible thing to do with Lumiaman.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Had a Lumia 920 for some days and I can tell you the hardware is really above top notch. What amazed me was the camera..wow, I watched a video on my HD tv and it was just wonderfull.

If the 920 had MeeGo I would totaly get one, I still dont like windows phone. and there is no much diference between WP8 and earlier version.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

What is there to argue? Even lumia 800 is five times smoother than N9

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Without thinking... N9, after some careful thought... N9!

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

And it's can open only one thing at a time! That is not good and far from the smartphone. I think you haven't even see how the N9 works and please.. see it with the Faster N9 and with ~10 apps.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

i dont know about jolla when they have a phone we'll talk seems like they wanna focus on the OS only, but no android phone in my future. I dont like google spying on me.

thanks for your unique observation.

i think eventually Nokia will have an affect.on wp and it'll get better. It has many strong suits. Keyboard, browser.
The customization and multi tasking is where it lacks.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Galaxy Note 2 is the correct answer.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

i would wait for jolla

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Jolla's phone is going to be more Jolla's phone, than Lumia is Nokia's ;). Nokia only flash MS windows SW to the HW and wrap it. HW is not made by Nokia (which factory made it.. i don't even know).. So which parts of Lumia is Nokia? 0.5%? Nokia is very slim hardware factory today and funny, that the "big guys" didn't see that coming when they sign with the MS.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

this is what i am talking about.
why wont you recommed the WP8 software, be specific.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Just wondering where you from, since you came up randomly with such a relic of a car, Yugo.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

They used to sell Cadillacs with the following incentive: Buy a Cadillac and get Yugo for free

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Ooo, I was not really aware of that car, never heard about it until now but when I checked it on wikipedia; "Yugo = Zastava Koral", it is a Fiat 127 licensee made in former Yuogoslavia!

The first car I had was a Fiat 127, altough it was original design made in Italy! Really nice car even as it was fully without any comforts :)

Nostalgia :D

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Damn, that's a good deal. But, only if the Cadillac goes to the wife, correct?

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

like i said, the N9s advantage always seem to come to multitasking and privacy a good camera. But how about its disadvantages?
slower web page loading.
terrible keyboard implementation, especially swype.
bad battery life.
3 generations old 45nm processor.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

What's wrong with the N9's swype keyboard? Or do you just not like swype in general?

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Yeah, what's wrong with the Swype. I Can't live without it. If N9 didn't have it I would have gone back to the N900.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

have you tried swype to post on this site? Or tap type in the browser address bar quickly.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

omg... i do love this swype... i never saw a better implemented one... but it's just me...

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

You have got to be kidding mine runs smooth with latest jellybean and i bet his whatsApp works flawlessly....

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

I don't understand why you are even considering buying a WP Nokia. That is not Nokia anymore - it is ruled by Microsoft. And asking why not to buy Windows Phone? Well, why do you think no one buys it? It is ages behind MeeGo and even if it wasn't, it is a closed, proprietary system. No other big company is as bad in caring about customers as Microsoft...
Have you seen the great projects on this forum? You can forget about all of this on such a closed system. Honestly, I don't understand one single second considering it.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

I don't know about Lumia or WP8, but Android on a Atrix 4G I had for 3 days is WAY WAY SLOWER than my Symbian 808.

Apart from Netflix and full flash I couldn't find a reason to use it.

Build quality was terrible, screen sensivity on the edges was awful, sound awful, camera awful....

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Why would you do a poll on a website that is essentially a feeding ground for linux-loving MS hating people? It's like going to a race track and asking if anyone prefers either motorsport or tennis.

I'm happy with my lumia 800. I was also happy with my N900. As long as it makes calls, texts and can go online does it really matter what phone you get nowadays?

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

That is what people said about Symbian and Maemo

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

To me the N9 is not a phone like the N900, its lost its magic.

Its now a smartphone like the SGS i9000, iPhone 4, or HTC HD7.

And because of this I prefer the L920 because of its better size, hardware and ecosystem. Since the price is involved, I can't say. I rather buy neither.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

I am currently using Windows 8, and the UI provided me quite significant insight how Modern UI really is, aesthetically pleasing to the.point of distracting and wastage of screen estate. So I probably can't imagine self using windows phone at the moment

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

this poll is much like going to the motor race track and asking about horse racing, its really not that different. Both are phones and allow you to communicate. I just wanted a hardware perspective and comparison of features and not OSs.
plus the poll is not that one sided as i expected.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

Lumia 920 hardware is superior by far to N9. OS is different for sure. I agree that multitasking is lacking on WP7 but I have not played with WP8. I personally dislike N9 display as colors are over saturated and tired my eyes easily

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

I have actually considered buying Lumia 920 but after a sometime playing with it...it doesn't really differ from wp7.5. The screen is nice, the body and color is nice but even all that combined can't beat N9.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

I would assume that we mostly all agree that the L920 has better hardware specs. And since I already have an N9, I'd hypothetically take the L920 out for a spin.

There is some relevant evidence to consider. First, check out this comparison of WP8 and WP7.5.

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?feature...&v=3aY1SNnWk4Q

would say that my N9 is slightly faster than the WP7.5 when booting Facebook (Fmobi), but in all honesty, it is no where near as fast as the WP8 experience. (And forget it if you use the N9 stock Facebook app, LOL)

Notice also that the multitasking experience of WP8 has greatly improved, since you can now leave apps, come back, and the app picks up where you left off and doesn't make you start over like WP7.5 did. Maybe it's not N9-level multitasking, but it's definitely better.

The browsing experience and browsers are clearly superior with the Lumia 920 from what I've seen so far, though N9 is workable.

Skype experience should be clearly superior with the L920. And access to most of the most popular apps is available with that device. I read that M$ has got 45 of the 50 most popular apps in the M$ WP8 app store. Finally, I see a LOT of swipe-y goodness built into the apps that I see running in WP. And I like swipe-y goodness.

So I see the Lumia 920 as a defensible choice, with way better hardware, improved WP software that is somewhat closer to MeeGo performance, and (compared to the lovely N9) has an app availability edge. The only downsides are well known to those in this forum, so I won't repeat them.

Re: Lumia 920, or a new N9 which would you buy?
 

As a consumer: i would choose 920
But deep in my heart: N9
