the n9, as others have mentioned, just seems dull/slow to use.

lumia 800 is really an excellent phone and battery life, as i mentioned before, is on par, if not better than the nokia n9

excited for lumia 900

You're all over the place, just a day ago in another thread you said the opposite.
You said you were going back to N9. And before that you said you back to the L800.

Well, it's the super-secret Linux project everybody is talking about.

I don't know much about it either, but I know that it's real and not just rumours.

jalyst,

with the comments you have just written, you could have come to the conclusion that i tried the lumia 800 for some time, then gave the n9 another shot, due to getting the white nokia n9, and then went back to lumia 800 as i prefer it over the n9.

i can choose to use whichever handset i please, which is why i made the expenditures to acquire the handsets.

nokia n9 was my favorite handset, nothing was designed like it and nothing felt like it, until i got my hands on the heavier, seemingly more build quality nokia lumia 800.

you seem like people have to just like one phone and stick to it and be stubborn as to nothing can ever be better. not the way i live my life sir.

That's funny....
Since the L800 was built by compal w/a slightly different injunction mould process.

I seem to recall the write-ups indicating the N9 was built w/a slightly superior process.
Mainly by virtue of the fact that is wasn't sub-contracted out...

But yes, the 800's weight is slightly higher, it's a matter of 7grams.
I fail to see how that has much to do with build quality though.

Nope, I have 2 smartphones ATM.
And I will have a few more soon.
I just have a pretty good BS detector.

you do realise that this is mostly FOSS community and that anything as closed as windows phone will be met with blinding rage and hate here,even if it is almost as good as nokias s40 like windows phone is

have you never learned not to anoint yourself good @ anything? let others decide your qualities instead of creating them on your own.

Oh I dunno....
Maybe it's the fact that people have pulled-you-up several times on things that were blatantly wrong.
So just a general impression one can quickly get by reading those threads/posts.

It could be entirely harmless though, you may have genuinely been clueless on those points.
I CBF'd digging it all up, its on the record if people want to read around...

Eh?

I find the lumia GUI quite ugly.
Everything displayed takes so much space, like that you can only see 4 contacts at a time. The user has actually to scroll all the time to gather the same amount of informations he could catch on the N9 or comparable devices with one view.
Plus, even though it's smooth, it's rather slow - e.g. hold the Lumia next to your N9 or Symbian phone and open the contacts. While on the Nokias, the contacts will appear instantly, you will have to wait for the animations to finish on the Microsoft Lumia first.
And, what bothers me most is that there is no free access to the device, the only way to sync contacts is through hotmail or exchange and the only way to instal apps is through the Microsoft market, which is not only the smallest compared to apple, Android and ovi, but also the most expensive one.
I cannot recommend windows phone at all!
