ATT - Lumia 900 Launch biggest ever
Source
The mighty ATT, biggest supplier of the most popular phone in the iPhone is pulling no punch and sparing no expense in making the Nokia Lumia 900 launch the biggest one ever.
"Before you walk in to the store, you know this is our hero phone," Bradley said, referring to the Lumia 900's flagship status.
This is to all the nay-sayers and doomsdayers - why is ATT hyping up a device with a dead OS?
This video I find quite appropriate (I chose this commercial over the official music video)
How you like me now?
I am marking April 8th on my calendar. All it takes is one spectacular phone and a bunch of fireworks to get the party started. HTC, Samsung, and LG I hope you will be watching closely.

I can't wait I sold my Galaxy nexus and went back to HTC surround while waiting for my pre ordered lumia900 to arrive

Huge Nokia Launch in Times Square (for Lumia 900) - This Friday!(betaphone countdown)
The www.smartphonebetatest.com is a countdown to this launch event. 7pm EST in Times Square (New York City). Very exciting!

"Smartphone Beta Test" is hilarious. The video about the grip is especially entertaining. I wonder if Nokia will continue this theme throughout the ad campaign?
As for the Nokia Lumia 900 itself, I'm extremely excited for it. My pre-ordered device should be here before Friday.

Just sighted a Samsung Focus in public!

I was at Costa Vitas and saw a lady surfing the web on a phone with a similar form factor as mine. I quickly peaked over her shoulder to spot the iconic windows logo.
Anyway, I'm sure that will be my last WP7 sighting for another couple months.
Thursday night a girl sitting next to me at a poker table in a casino had the lg windows phone; she was rocking the pink color scheme. Oh and the difference in quality between the lg screen and the focus screen is stunning...
The very day wp7 was launched in UK, I saw a lady using a HTC phone sitting next to me on th way back from pub. Haven't seen another wp7 device in the wild since however.
New Years night at a club I saw a guy with a samsung focus at the bar and we immeidately started drinking
Since then I have 2 other friends with the HD7 and I've seen a few others around campus as well.
Its more popular than you think!
2 of my colleagues (out of a staff of 32 people) have Windows Phones. They're Samsung Focus'.
I also saw a lady at Dunkin' Donuts with an HD7.
well, I'm the only one in belgium with WP7 (and it's not even on an official device, HD2 )

How's that autocorrect on the nexus one keyboard working for ya bub?
I didn't see anyone with wp7 device, but on 4pda.ru forum exists entire section about windows phone 7, where about 100 users have wp7.
I am from Iraq and I have Samsung focus.
I think I am the only one in Iraq that own wp7 .
I saw a guy at the Seattle airport with a Focus a few weeks ago. He's the only other person I've seen so far with a WP7, but it is Seattle after all, so I'm guessing there are at least a few more of us around.
Keep in mind that when android first came out NOBODY was really using it. Give it a few months
Since getting my Focus day one, my girlfriend, best friend, best friend's mom, another friend and his mom, and yet another friend all have gotten Windows Phones. As awesome as that is, I'd love to see one 'in the wild.'

I don't use autocomplete, nor is it a nexus.
I'm still waiting to get mine but, once I do, I bet they sell maybe 200 more of them...I'm a tech buff and everyone I know will ask me what to buy, once I show they the performance and apps of WP7, it won't be much of a choice for them.
Just wish Verizon wireless would annouce one already !!!
i've seen a samsung omnia 7 on a the train, a mozart whilst walking pass someone, and an Optimus 7Q in action. A recent article from Telstra said that Windows Phones made up approximately 7 to 8 percent of their phone sales for the holiday period, which is pretty good. They're around, just give it time, and yes as much as i hate to say it, they need more form factors in stores, just to be more visible amoungst all the android same sames.
i believed i was probably the only one in chile with a samsung focus, but i saw another user from xda with a chilean flag
I'v seen 3 wp7 devices, 2 at school (one for a split second before it disappeared. I was SURE that I saw the iconic tiles & a windows key), a guy was rocking his HTC surround, and I actually saw a samsung focus (like mine) on a train...

[POLL] Would you buy a Nokia today?

No flame war, no discuss about the phone itself. Just wanna know how many of you would buy any Lumia if you could today.
Edit: Lets say it is already selling in your country and lets say that it costs €420/$585 (or just convert the price).
My option wasn't there.
"No way! Nokia has nothing"
Mine wasn't here either.
"Waiting for a 900 series from Nokia"
No way!!!!!!
So maybe you guys should hit "wait till Apollo", it's when they are releasing next devices (according to Nokia).
Well, until now, Nokia is doing fine!

I can get by on 16 GB and lack of FFC. Unfortunately, importing a Lumia 800 pretty much costs the same as buying an unlocked iPhone 4s.

I voted yes but the real answer is yes when the price drops. I am fine with 16GB and I am not pretty enough to need a FFC.
Played with Lumia 800 in Phones4u. Screen is too small for my liking (in IE9 especially, the letter are so small) other than that I'm in love with it.
I was at Nokia conference today in Warsaw (after Nokia World 2011). I saw and take Lumia 710 and 800. So, these devices is nice, but not exciting. One problem they have - NO TETHERING (internet sharing). New devices from other producers have this option (Titan, Radar, etc.) why Nokia haven't ? I don't know. IMO Nokia want encourage customers Nokia Drive (turn by turn navigation) and if other developers do not do good app navigation for Europe - Nokia win this race.

I'm not going to change my beautiful HD7 till it gets unuseful. Think I will wait till Apollo to change device because it's really expensive to change devices in my country (The only WP7 that came here is LG Optimus 7 and it's announced but they don't have it in store so you have to bring your phone from USA or Europe ).
I can say the Lumia 800 design is beautiful, but it has a lot of waste (I call waste to the space between the end of the screen and the edge of the phone), the N9 have exactly the same size and it has a bigger screen and the front facing camera. My HD7 is not so big compared to the Lumia and it have 0.6' more of screen, and when someone see my phone they are impresed by the big screen and the amazing thing (not telling when you show the kickstand, they just come crazy )..
In my opinion I'll see what Nokia, HTC and Samsung does with Apollo and then make a decition. But if I have to decide now, I would go with a Titan or a Focus S!
I really want a bigger screen around the 4 to 4.5 inch mark and a front facing camera for Skype. There is no need for me to upgrade my LG Optimus 7 as it has all the same features and slightly bigger screen.
I might need to look at the Samsung S if Nokia take to long, Although I am not to fussed on how it looks compared to the Nokia 800.
If Nokia's Apollo has a FFC, 4 to 4.5 inch screen and 32 GB and is released in the not to distant future that's what I will get.
I still do not understand why Microsoft did not make sure there is a FFC in all new phones, Considering they just spent so much on Skype it is plane stupid.

I don't think it's possible for Microsoft to make something like that mandatory if they truly want to reach all price points. They even removed the minimum of 8GB restriction, there are some that will ship with just 4 GB of space.

Do you have a family using Windows Phone?

Something little bit different. Do you have a family using Windows Phone?
As I bought first Windows Phone 7 - HTC HD7 I love it. My girlfriend love it as well. And she said, she want WP7 as well. Well now me and my girlfriend using HTC Titan's. Old Omnia 7 gone to my mother, HTC HD7 my sister using. And I hope to get soon Nokia Lumia 900.
My wife, my two kids, and myself all have VZW HTC Trophys. Had them since VZW offered them. Mine and my wifes are IU and apphub registered.
All are at 8107.79 with v1 OEM drivers.
I shared my Tmobile line, they left and went to Sprint for the Evo 3-D...I went to the Tmo store and they saw the Radar and left Sprint and got the Radar.

My family not really yet, but my gf has been rocking the L710 for a few months now and she's quite happy with it: she used to have a cheap Android before, so no wonder at all. My Dad (previous Nokia featurephone user) is getting the 610 as soon as it comes out, he's positively impressed with the Office integration and the simplistic UI in my Lumia. Note that for the 5 months I had the SGS2 he never felt really into that. However when I first got my Omnia (R.I.P.) he immediately grabbed it and understood how it worked in a few minutes. A cheap and straightforward WP device like the 610 is exactly what he's been looking for in the latest months.
My mom is still hopeless tho: she keeps using 20€ Nokia uber-dumb phones basically because she smashes everything in a few weeks, no phone os tough enough for her

I bought an omnia 7 (it was april 2011) and one of my schoolmates was impressed by the performance and one week later he had his own omnia7, in 2012 another one of my schoolmates showed me her Lumia 800, then another one asked me if was better a lumia 710 or a Samsung galaxy wonder or something simile, and she has now a lumia710, now another one is searching on ebay some offer for a omnia w..while other spend 600€ for a rude iPhone....they make me laugh a lot
Nop I've got a DVP
Bro has an Android
Sister has a BB
parents don't have smartphones.
Ex GF had a Focus. I have a Lumia 900, my Dad has a Lumia 900 and my Mom has a HTC Surround. Sister is strictly iOS, and the current GF has a Xperia X10a because I was an Android junkie at the time when she was getting a phone.
Me and my Sister got Omnia 7s on launch in Nov 2010. I've just ordered a Lumia 800 as an upgrade and I think she's gonna do the same. So then our Omnias will go to the parents I think.
Yep, my girlfriend inherited my old HD7 and she LOVES it! SHe came from BB, so it may have not been hard to convince her And got my brother to get a Focus S. Once again, extremely satisfied with the simplistic approach and how clean everything looked. Haven't got my mom to jump ship just yet as she loves her iPhone. Dad rocks a BB and I doubt it even matters to him.
My wife has a Samsung Focus S. Picked it up as a Mothers day gift. I liked it so much, i bought myself one.
We had old..dusty old phones. She had the Treo Pro, and i was rocking my Palm Centro...
She loves the phone and how simple it is to use. My brother is now looking to buy the same and come on board now.
The OS is simple, but hypnotizing.. its eye candy.
Plus im on prepaid straight talk. no more contracts.. Its great

I started out with WP7 on my HD2, loved that so decided to go whole hog and bought a Lumia 800. My GF, who had an old SE K610, loved the way the Lumia connected so easily and quickly with the internet. Sorted her out with a data-flat and she bought the Lumia 710 (the L800 was too expensive for her first foray into smartphone-land). Now you can't prize the damn thing out of her hands!! Grrrr!!!
Mother and mother-in-law still have "dumb-phones" and that'll never change. But will be working on getting brother and nephew to move to WP7 (or 8 by that time) for their next phones. Both are lagging behind with Android devices (Wildfire 2 and Explorer from HTC).

NO WP7's to get WP8

And people thought Android's fragmented upgrades to ICS were bad... I'm amazed that they can do this, especially with the leaps and bounds they've made with the Lumia 900 and such. That would be like not updating the HOX to jellybean if it were to come out in the coming months. Even apps aren't going to be backwards compatible with WP8.

Am I the only one not surprised at all? That's why I wouldn't have signed a contract for a WP device, not even with a gun at my head. I'm still picking a WP8 device this fall tho, the ecosystem starts looking good and I'm still in love with the platform. I'd see no point moving to Android anyway, for my kind of usage WP7.8 would still be better than ICS or iOS anyway.

The problem in the USA is even if your contract is up unless you switch to a pay monthly plan your bill stays the same. So it doesn't make sense to wait a year to do an upgrade. I upgraded months ago. By the time Windows Phone 8 devices are available for free (cost of Lumia 900 on contract) I will be half way done with my contract. I just couldn't sit around for 8 months paying my monthly bill and not working off contract time. In that scenario you can't turn down a free phone. Can you?
Well now Nokia won't sell any Phones at all. Well done Microsoft, i'll wait for 7.8 and maybe get rid of my Lumia 800.

It's a sleazy move if M$ is devaluing NOK to buy it for pennies soon. They (M$) are alienating even more potential customers just to pick up NOK and it's lock box of patents and hardware know-how.
NOK- "Here, buy our awesome phone, running windows only now!"
customer - "Will it update ?"
NOK - "Hell yes, M$ promised complete control over updates, not carriers or even us!"
customer - "Hey, uhhhhhmmmm"
I failed to see how M$ will regain the mobile market share after this, the ship has sailed for them. Sacking all your loyal customers not only once but twice has never been a good idea. Good luck racing with RIM for the bottom prize M$.
I dunno, my HD7 was just a recycled HD2 running WP7...I'm ready for a front camera facing, HD screened quad band phone . (1st and 2nd generation phones will get 7.8, but that doesn't matter in this thread lol)

The beta test is over I guess. I'm buying an iPhone.

I've been with you from the start Microsoft. I owned an early Windows Mobile 2003se device, and I loved it. The software was finicky, it crashed often but it was consistent and it was eons ahead of Palm. I was happy. I held on for as long as I could. But after the introduction of the iPhone, I couldn't hold on any longer. The software was going nowhere, and hardware was inferior and I had to move on. I always my fondness for the platform. Then Windows Phone 7 was introduced. It was new, it was clean, it was beautiful. But I had to hold off. Poor battery life, poor specs, high prices. This all changed with the Lumia 900. It was sleek, beautiful, had an amazing display, and it was right for me. So when my 5 year old iPhone died, I went out and bought one. I was happy. I did everything I asked it to and more. Then I heard the Apollo rumors. I was ecstatic! All WP7.5 devices would get WP8. All kinds of new features and worthwhile apps! I couldn't wait. Then this. Just when I was feeling comfortable with Windows Phone again, this new land that was different that iOS and Android that went against the grain, I found out it was much, much worse. I'm selling my Lumia 900 and buying an iPhone 4S. I'm not the first and I wont be the last. You let us believe everything. The little leaks and hints had our hopes up. I feel cheated, wronged, and above all, i'm leaving the platform for the last time. You've made it so i cant even look at my phone anymore without anger. GOOD JOB SH**SOFT, YOU DONE GOOFED UP THIS TIME.
ITS ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD.
You go get your Iphone 4S .............
I for one will keep my lumia 900.. simply because it does what it does best, and regardless of what microsoft does, nokia is keen to support its phone...

I'd hate to burst your bubble, that's all WP8. 7.8 is JUST the homescreen.
I have to agree with Johnson on this one. I have been with windows mobile OS's since before they were phones and to tell me my two month old device is unsupported is a slap in the face.
I too plan to look elsewhere. They waited just long enough for the rush to be over on the lumia/HTC and samsungs and no early adopters can't return their device ?!
Thanks for nothing A$$hats.
Damn, I was looking at getting a Lumia 900...guess not :/ But I wouldn't suggest getting a 4S, the new iPhone will be coming out in a few months and you would be kicking yourself for getting a 4S now and then the new one coming out.
Well Microsoft will support device up to 2 years, as I know. So if you don't looking for dual-core CPU, NFC and other some features, than there isn't problem to stay with Nokia Lumia 900 or other first gen devices. So what is point to buy iPhone 4s if new iPhone come out in fall (WP8 devices as well).

True! Worst part is that they had to know when releasing the 900 that there would be no upgrade. That, to me is deliberate lies. I would have still bought a WP device I would have simply waited a little longer or maybe I would have bought the 900 anyways ...knowing in advance would've been the right thing to do. I now expect Nokia to make this up to us 900 owners.
Honestly, how can one expect Nokia to do anything. They were poorly managed for too many years, then latched on to WP. At launch of their flagship 900 on a flagship carrier (ATT), the device was defective. The $100 rebate was welcomed by early adopters, but they burned through even more cash. In the background, MS is drumming up the app count. Nokia is hanging on for their lives -- firing another 10,000 last week. Stock is down to $2.50 a share. Nokia's major announcement on 6/18? A symbian device.
As for the token of appreciation -- a windows 8 start screen??? You gotta be kidding me. No mention of integrating Skype into the OS? No background operation of skype?
The lumia 900 is a beautiful device. Like others, have been with wm since the pocket loox 600... just windows mobile. MS is putting together a competitive and compelling package, but threw early supporters of WP7 under the bus of MS progress and Nokia survival.

They have already said the apps will go forward, just not backwards...... Still sucks nonetheless. =/
well, I'll just look at the bright side,,, there are some good apps coming for the Lumia on Friday, is a beautiful device, so I will keep it until WP8 devices come into market,,, there's always craigslist, so I will probably get around $180.00 for it by that time, minus let say $500.00 on a craigslist WP8 device I will end up paying $320.00 which is not bad for being out of contract... But selling the Lumia now to get an iPhone is ridiculousness.
Im pretty sure WP7 apps running on WP8 will be more of a compatibility sort of thing... And with the changes who knows when they might dump that ability and require an entire re write...

I think Zhariak may have been talking about software houses like sbsh, spb, WebIS, and others who built out a stable of useful, innovative applications for windows mobile and got left behind with WP7.

Providers may offer that in the US. But it's not like that around the world...
No WP8, I too find it irratating, it makes me mad... considered even crying about it.. still thinking about it, I might have some time after 2:30 today. Would it make me switch to another platform?????? Why? Do you really think Apple is any different? Which phones does Siri work on? Across the board on all iPhones... um no.. is it some hardware issue?? Mic on a iPhone 3G not strong enough? Whatever the reason is. If you need a personal relationship with a computer and not people... buy only the latest iPhone (Then be ok with the idea The O/S is gonna change for the upcoming iPhone 5 and some new features will be iPhone 5 exclusive). I can't tell you how many Andriod phones out there DID NOT RECIEVE ICE CREAM SANDWICH... way too many, but the vast majority of people out there don't have a clue.
It sucks, it's wrong.. but lets not pretend Microsoft is some greedy software giant and Apple is some poor underdog that just takes such great care of their customers..... those days are gone!!! long gone, Apple is the company that was litterally sitting on a pile of money that they did not know what to do with. That is not an opinion, it's a fact... look it up, made headline news. Don't even get me started on Google, that company is like a data minning crack whore with a needle jammed in her track filled arm wipping her mouth from the last customer and asking for a kiss. Yeah I have an Andriod tablet and I find myself using it so little since I bought the lumia.
After writting this I realize, no need to cry... I am dissapointed in Microsoft, but it is what it is. As far others and my HD2... Who is anyone fooling????? Anyone on XDA could have made a mint on that baby. I ran WM, Andriod and WP7... sold it with WP7 for almost what I paid for it. Who knows maybe the Lumia will go the same way maybe not... I only paid $380 for it. If I get $200 for it when I sell it I got my Money's worth
