Unless the Lumia can magically transform into a Chinese Android phone, I think you guys need to edit out the 2nd picture

I'm getting this as soon as it comes to Verizon. My iPhone is so overrated.

My new Lumia800 is great! Yes, stunning design esp the vacuum screen is as black as The Dark Knight. Highly responsive and sensitive to touch. Just that there have been some recalls for faulty battery. Overall, neat! Its a different breed of smartphone. No compare with iPhone and Androids of the world.

Will be interesting to see if you can expand the memory, or at least get one with up to 64gb of storage.

While I wouldn't extend a contract for it, this looks like a fun device to have -- if WP7 had launched with something like this, it might have been successful. Maybe it'll help make WP7 show up on a marketshare infographic...

So far, only 16mb, with no expansion. This is a huge downfall, in my opinion, though not a deal breaker. Too bad, though, because with the outstanding Carl Zeiss camera lens, it would benefit from more memory to hold all of those beautiful shots!

Body does not feel good after it gets scratch and scratch are visible because they get dirt.

Hopefully they have fixed to top slots to be more sturdy as 800 and N9 has problem they get broken very easily, almost in pocket automatically.

Nice. Being high end Nokia it will "feel" like a quality phone. My only issue with the 900. Its a bit too big. I kind of prefer the 800 for its slightly smaller size.

stockyjoe, it's nice to finally see somebody with some sense, as it seems that today everybody is claiming the larger smartphones as the holy grail. Sometimes, bigger is not always better! Good comment!

I was thinking the same thing. The 800 looks perfect!

I hear ya. The minute I found out it was almost as big as my HTC Titan I was very disappointed, but not a deal breaker.

Wow, this thing takes hideous to a whole new level. Throw in Windows 8 and it becomes completely irrelevant. I'm glad I sold my Nokia stock a few years back...

Silly boy, you make me giggle. With the next new Windows iteration, and pairing it up with Nokia's classic, quality hardware, that Windows will be poised to set new standards of UI usability, business functionality, and consumer social, organizational, and entertainment features performing at previously unseen degrees of aesthetic supremacy.

I'll bet my Nokia stock, double or nothing on the veracity of that humble prediction.

I go now . . . to bed I go now.

Sorry but....Bwaaaa haaa haaa haaaa... Really? I just don't see a future for Microosoft in the mobile OS market.

Might want to buy some Nokia stock back now. These things are hot wherever they are sold.

I think they can add another iPhone owner to their list of potential buyers. I still have a few unanswered questions, but otherwise I think I really want one.

I'm an iPhone 4 user on AT&T. I'll be trying this phone out the first week available at their store. I seriously doubt I'll ditch my iPhone for it, but I'm still very curious. (I'll most likely just wait for the next iPhone come this fall.) I saw on a very recent hands-on video that the user who has the 900 is complaining from a lack of oleophobic coating. That's a huge blunder IMO by Nokia.

It's really a huge shame that Nokia ditched MeeGo because that OS looked like it had a ton of potential. I'm pretty turned off by the 'live tile' interface of WP. Still, I want to feel this phone in my hands and play with it a bit to see what the story is. My gut says that the public will never embrace WP in its current state. Perhaps I'm wrong though. It's a shame because Nokia hardware-wise is class.

oleophobic coatings scratch off easily.

There are people who rely on Outlook to run their life, and I'll jump at the chance to give up Android and its buggy partner Google.

This Nokia phone looks like a joke. The iPhone is far superior and right now has all the support and apps going for it...waiting for the next iPhone to come out!

I can't wait ..already have two reps waiting with phones for me in case one falls through!
The LTE better be the solution to better connection speeds...and although the iPhone is beautiful ...it is so locked down as to be useless...unless of course you give Apple more money for Apps. And although the bells and whistles are fun....I actually need to be able to use it as a phone...shocking huh?...and according to all data I have seen the iPhone's "phone" is among the worst. Kind of a big piece to be missing.
I have the Focus S now....I guess I got what I paid for....I LOVE Mango...I truly think it is the best mobile OS...just better get Apollo on the 900...because Samsung makes cheap, flimsy junk devices.

As a career-long Windows software developer and AT&T customer (nothing else works where I live), I've been waiting for a good Windows phone forever. I've been using iPhones handed down from a friend so I could avoid a contract and be ready whenever a worthy Windows phone came out. This could be it, providing there is a seamless migration path to Windows 8, which I'm running the Consumer Preview of on a desktop. What's the migration path?
