It's quite true, it take more computing power to render a round button than just simple square.

After using my Lumia 900 since early April, and now having it in at Nokia Care, I'm back on the N900 for the time being.

In between I had been using HTC Vision, with plenty of Android goodness. But alas, until Android 4.0 which I barely ran due to compatibility and stability issues, it all kinda looked and felt half-baked.

My N900 still feels good in the hand, using it as I type this -- oh the joy to have qwerty again, damn do I still hate touch keyboards! There's the half-baked feel with this one also, but the N900 gets a pass, because of its inherent capabilities. I don't mind the screen tearing with Opera, or a random boot because of starving profile with OC at 900MHz. With true Linux box in your pocket, much is forgiven.

So do I want the Lumia back amidst all this CSSU-sudo-apt-get upgrade bliss? You bet. While the N900 is still my mobile device king, for me it takes away the focus from reading/texting/talking, because in the end, I'm not a sys.admin who needs server access in my fingertips, or a devel writing apps for the community (thank you again for the awesomeness of this community btw); no, my mobile use is far more simpler. I actually like dumbphones now more than ever. I get to play with Mac OS on my hackintosh, run and play with various Linux distros under VM, while tinkering with Arch Linux on an early-2000 IBM ThinkPad. My phone can, no, needs to be simple, a dumbphone. And the Lumia 900, and no doubt the 920 with WP8 would as well, fits the bill: a sleek, well-made, "it just works" (well, excluding my Lumia's USB data connection... Wait, a Nokia something-900 with a USB issue, this rings a bell...), robust dumbphone by Nokia.

Perfect.

Lumia series? meh

better samsung WP8 line. or HTC..or ZTE..or any OEM for WP8 out there

Jeez, that's some long list of negatives - much more (worse) than I realised.
Thanks

Don't you remember this thread where everybody had some fun?

3/4 of it were untrue and inflated.

My girlfriend has a Lumia and well... it seems to me most things from the list (still) apply.

But I have to agree with frostbyte, you don't buy a Lumia if you want a phone you can tinker with. It's just a dumbphone that works. And it does that well IMO. I also like the much criticised square-interface. It's practical and does what it needs to, while staying nice on the eyes (if you get the meaning, not that it's pretty, it doesn't stress the eyes)...

Biggest minuses for me are: 1) no mass storage mode; 2) no bluetooth data connection; 3) no other browser other than the built-in IE...

It's nothing like a N900. But as mainstream smartphones go, I'd prefer it over an Android or an iPhone at the moment.

I'm interested in WP8 because of windows 8. I Will get a windows 8 laptop and matching phone and see what happens

L920 hardware looks real nice, just a *BIG* shame it's not running MeeGo
