I could have guessed how this topic was going to turn out from the topic title and don't believe you need to defend your choice, you have the phone you wanted and you like it. No one should be made to feel like a target for their choice of phone especially when its someone who has fair understanding of the mobile market.

We have to remember that both nokiaqueen and gerbick are not new to the forums and have been frequent posters here on maemo.org for a number of years now. They have also been on this Nokia rollercoaster with the rest of us and know full well what the score was with this MS & lumia ride. They did not go and buy their phones out of pure fanboy/girl blindness or buy into the hype of some sales tripe and then join the forum to troll some of us more ardent Nokia fans. If they (or any other TMO) user buys a lumia device and wants to sing the praises of a feature or comment on what the pro's and cons are of the handset, then I for one would be happy to read what they have to say.

It seems that we are forever reading polarised views on these things, beit Elop and his marketing machined WP7 fanboys or naysayers who don't believe Nokia can do anything right, it is quite refreshing to hear the honest reviews from a trusted poster of the forum. IMO their comments should be respected even if we still can't agree with their views. We can alway use this as an opportunity to ask more questions from a device owner that we know will give an honest and unbiased view point. There might even be a few surprises to learn.

Personally I would like to ask how is they call quality of the L900? I do understand there was the hic up at launch and props to Nokia for sorting that so damn fast, so with that now sorted I am interested to know if the call quality is back to the standards that you would expect from Nokia.


Edit: Sorry, went of on a tangent.

Lumia 800 is way smoother and more pleaseant user experience. There is no stuttering, lagging, and general feeling that you are being waterboarded. Lumia 800 has the greatest email I have seen on the touchphone, and since I use email a LOT, I love it. N9 email plainly sucks. It doesnt save my drafts if for some reason I move away from the email, and the whole multitasking is a myth. Nothing happens in the background of N9. A myth. and that 1Gb of RAM is wasted on N9.
I have no desire to get L900 as L800 is pretty much the same and I like its form factor, but I can see how few of the individuals above are having a good time with it.

Please don't hesitate to comment on the L900 OS and the display. I am curious to hear how is the display doing as Nokia internet tablet.

MicroB vs the Microsoft -- how many full website browser windows can you open at the same time on the L900?

Thanks!!

Regarding the internet probs, Nokia already stated they'd be giving $100 back to all Nokia lumia users along with sending an update on the 16 Also most people got it free anyways upon signing a new contract with AT&T, so basically, Nokia has payed me to have the Lumia..what can be sweeter than that hehe
