Toady, i see this news, i think the HTC just copied the appearance of Nokia Lumia, i don't know why HTC’s Windows Phone 8X do this.
here is the news link: http://www.bgr.com/2012/09/19/htc-windows-phone-8x-8s-release-date-hands-on/
It's really not. Having owned both the phones, I see more in common with the Omnia 7 than I do the Lumia 900.
I think they are very similar as far as build quality but there are a couple or so things i like from the nokia 920; wireless charging , glossy finish, and that pureview camera looks promising.
I have an HTC One XL and a lumia 900 I love both. The lumia 920 is what the 900 should have been and more, the 8x is just a wp8 version of the One X .
While everybody awaits the I5 I keep holding my savings for that L920 on At&t if it makes it to them.

i am agree with you, they are very similar in terms of appearance, and if the HTC had no brand, I think almost all people will mistake it as Nokia 900.

There are so many threads on this, but I was wondering more on the fact that there is no Nokia 900. Do you guys think they will release it in like... 3 months kind of thing? I tried to find rumors but couldn't. THe Lumia 800 is so freaking sexy though... My battery life on that thing would be AMAZING. The spec sheet claimed 13 hours of tlak time... anyway back to topic.
So are you guys who planned on getting the Flagsihp device getting hte lumia 800? Or what is your next step?
Please people who never wanted the lumia 800 or the rumoured nokia 900 phone or want to bag phones in general, don't put your opinion in here.
Im deffo getting the lumia 800 i will be searching the net high and low to get the best deal on a blue one i will settle for black but i am into bright colours at the mo
Haha yeah the cyan is definitely sexy. Does it bother you that it is missing some features?
missing??? you mean front facing camera then hell no i hate the idea of video calling ewww dont wanna show my ugly mug. I was hopeing for more then 16gb but i have a zune hd for music so would of just been doubling up though if i was wanting to use my pone as mp3 player this would of been a kicker.
I'm due an upgrade around March time so hopefuly by then the 900 will be out. If it isn't I'm very impressed with the 800.
FFC I really do not care about and 16gb storage is fine for me. I've never come close to filling my 8gb Omnia - I'm a tidy freak, if i don't use something it's deleted.
Only downer for me is the 3.7" screen after using a 4".
I will be going for Nokia next time for sure though.
The industrial design of the lumia 800 is simply amazing, I already have the titan but will be getting the blue lumia for the wife, she won't mis the ffc, the thought of video calling doesn't appeal to her (or me)

Disappointed in the storage space; I don't currently have a smartphone and would like my first one to replace my iPod Touch. Also disappointed in the lack of FFC, though I probably wouldn't use it that much.
Why couldn't they have just given us an N9 with WP on it?
hi
i am using samsung galaxy s2 and sick of flashing a new rom or kernel for better performance everyday. it still lags and is not as smooth as windows os or ios.
i had samsung omnia 7 before that and loved it but the only thing that made me sell it was no support for viop on windows phone os.
htc titan looks good and also has FFC a big + for me
Nokia 800 is good too but doesnt support FFC .
Should i buy the omnia 7 cuz the 2nd generation of windows phones dont have anything special and dont impress me that much.
what should i buy? An honest opinion plz.
thanks
It looks like the front facing camera isn't a big deal for you since you're willing to buy an Omnia 7, so in that case I think the Nokia 800 would be the nicest phone. But if FFC is important to you, then I would buy the Titan.
Just to let you know, Samsung just released the Omnia W in Europe with FFC and 2nd gen processor at 1.4ghz. Check it out
I think HTC Titan will be better due to the big screen
Well say that you should get the Nokia lumia 800
Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
tbh this isnt a straight question as the Titan and Lumia are 2 differant fish. The big quesition isnt the ffc but more the size. if the big screen is important then there its the Titan otherwise the lumia is a better build and a better quality screen. Plus if its not important to have the size i think the mass of the thing will get annoying.
FFC as said before there is the omniaW that could be a good option for you. I personally would and have gone for the lumia 800 for the reason of quality and style. Its not ony the most stylish wp7 it is im my opinion the most stylish gadget of all time. Plus the screen i amazing and you get the navigation. I know you can hack it to other phones but why bother when you can have the proper deal.
personally i like HTC titan...nice mobile...nice look...this is my opinion.
For me it comes down to screen size and FFC, so the choice is pretty simple... the Titan.

I have the Titan, it is indeed a good looking phone, I need the big screen for my old eyes! However, I was playing with a lumia 800 in a phone shop and they are really awesome in the hand
I vote Lumia 800.
The lumia is a lovely looking phone, but having played with a couple in the shops, the build quality doesn't feel as good as the Titan - the hardware buttons around the side of the phone are a little lose. It feels nice to hold etc... but the screen is just a smidgen too small for my liking (I think around 4" is the sweet spot).
The Titan is just a touch too big as well, but I prefer the Titan being a bit to big than vice-versa. The screen on the Titan is brilliant - the image quality is top notch, and I think it's every bit as good as the screen on the Nokia from first impressions.
As mentioned already, if FFC is important then there's not even a question to be answered. Otherwise, it really comes down to whether you want a bigger screen or not, everything else will be fairly equal.
I really was waiting for Nokia's first offering, but am severly underwhelmed by the two phones they've launched. The leaks were all indicating a 4 inch (or there abouts) phone with FFC etc... which would have been exactly what I wanted, as it is, once they launched their phones, I immediately went and got the Titan, and don't regret it so far.
Lumia for me.
The screen on the Titan is too big for me. I wouldn't want anything bigger than my Omnia 7 as that is already on the limit as far as pocket space goes for me.
- same polycarbonate unibody as 800
- 4.3" clear black amoled
- front facing camera
- better main camera
- 32 GB version & 16GB version available
- LTE
- AT&T confirmed, Verizon pushing to be launch partner (supposedly)

This should take care of pretty much every complaint there is about the Lumia 800. Sounds like a great device.
i cant ****ing wait
if this comes to verizon this may be the first phone i pay for full retail
Apparently it has push pin access to the SIM card and glossy finish according to another blog.

The glossy finish is up to the feedback they receive. I can almost guarantee people will say they prefer the matt finish of the 800.

I'm probably one of the only ones, but this sounds like it would be perfect for me... if only it had a portrait QWERTY (slider I assume) keyboard.
Is it too much to ask for someone other than Dell to make one?
The glossy finish might mean a white version like the n9. They just need to include all of the n9 features but with a bigger screen and better camera.
I just upgraded my hd7 to 32gb but would buy this still but would prefer a 64gb version. If they can do it for the n9 they can do it for this one.

Hope this rumor is true. I wanted to purchase Lumia 800, but 3.7" screen seemed too small. 4.3" screen with the same body would be awesome!!
If true its my next device and carrier. In my area Tmobile is junk and att is way better. I prefer the matte finish. From owning the dvp, I have learned that this physical keyboard is useless. Because I early ever use it.

for me it depends..
I use my quantum keyboard all the time, though with a screen that large I could definitely cope without it.
If this comes to Canada it is my next phone for sure.
C'mon TELUS, bring in something worthwhile..
I have a question about these Nokia Lumia devices. Do the Lumia devices offer a LED charge light or LED notification light? I miss this on my DVP and was wondering if it will be on these devices, havent seen any so im suspecting not.
If its true this has LTE - Verizon I'm coming back!!!
Still doesn't sound like enough differentiation. It might stand out design-wise but it sounds hardly worth the wait. Now, if they brought an N8 class camera and Tango brings better camera options: I'd wait in line. For now, the Samsung Focus S brings the same CPU and 4.3" AMOLED+ which is better than March.
AT&T gets the Titan, TMO gets the Radar.
AT&T gets the Nokia 900, TMO gets the Nokia 710.
It appears that my HD7 will continue to soldier on. It dissappoints me after TMO's relationship with mega-screen Windows phones: HD2>HD7>??? Where's the successor?
I actually went and played with a Radar and it was a nice phone. It is simply not worth giving up the extra screen space.

Gladly , we are supposed to get the lumia phones in january, I just hope it could be a lumia phone with a front facing camera instead of the lumia 800.

Gonna wait for the WP8 devices. I'm still VERY happy with my original Focus, especially following the Mango update, so I won't waste my upgrade on a "mid generation" device, which is really what every single one of the new WP7.5 models are.
What else could they possibly offer that the lumia 900 can't be upgraded to wp8. Are you telling me it can't be upgraded to wp8
Sent from my Venue Pro using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Perhaps the Nokia Ace will have some NFC features built in. I've been reading that MS have recently clarified that WP7.5 does not have ny NFC capability (regardless of OEMs including the tech in their handsets), but they are working on it for 2012 as requested by Samsung and Nokia.
I'd like to see NFC for features like bump to pair with bluetooth speakers, bump to pair with car kits, and of course for electronic payments.

If you're sticking with T-Mobile, check out the Nokia Lumia 710.

If your country has Lumia 800, then get the 800 for better display quality.
Otherwise 710

Since you asked for a craigslist trade, and not a contract....
HD2, should be able to trade yours plus some cash for the
Hd2.
Assuming you are staying on Tmobile:
Any of them will be good phones, and all the windows phones will run fast, smooth & stable.
If you want newer hardware you'll want a nokia lumia 710 or htc radar. You can also get the HD7 (NOT HD2). The radar also has a front facing camera.
The HD2 is a windows MOBILE phone, and will only run windows PHONE operating system if you hack it on. The HD7, however, is a 1st generation windows phone that tmobile had for awhile. Just make sure its the tmobile version and not the AT&T version if you get that one (at&t's wont have the 3G bands for tmobile).
Omnia7 - the best camera and screen resolution and light rendering
I would go with the HTC Radar 4G. I like the Lumia 710 but w/o the front facing camera and Skype "coming soon"(forever) I fear it may be missing a possible key feature. I had an ffc on my Android phone before my windows phone and I never used it but I actually use facetime quite a bit on the iPad.

With Lumia 800 Nokia launched the first window supported mobile phone which work on Microsoft Windows Phone 7.5 Mango platform
it's all personal preference
There is no such thing as a bad windows phone, when you compare to other windows phones. they all run the exact same operating system (more or less) and have a minimum specification bracket that they must adhere to. so if you want a windows phone, the things to look at are:
1. Screen type (LCD, AMOLD, etc.)
2. Processor speed,
3. Camera quality
4. Screen size
5. Aesthetics
If you want a nice looking screen, perhaps the omnia 7 is best for you. A do-it-all powerhouse? perhaps the HTC TITAN, with its massive processor and huge screen. a nice-looking phone that can hold its own against most other devices on the market? The Lumia is your best bet. if you want a cracking camera, then maybe wait for the HTC TITAN II, with its gargantuan snapper and seperate camera processor. so basically, the phones themselves are more or less the same, in terms of functionality and user experience. its what you want to DO with them, thats what makes the difference.
I just received my HTC Radar three days ago. its really decent 3.8" phone
the build quality is top the display is very crisp and the phone is
really fast.
Samsung Focus or Focus Flash.. Both are exceptional devices.

NOT TRUE.
HTC Titan was released before that.
T-Mobile is the best (for me).
I recommend you to get a HTC Titan
Omg the guy is trying to trade a Sidekick 4g. He will not get a Titan for such a device.
It might be better to just trash the Sidekick and just buy another device.

The titan will not work on T-mobile's 3G network,however it is rumored that a revised version of the titan and lumia 900 is in the works for T-mob.
Thinking how Nokia is putting it all for WP, i would personally go for Lumia 710.
Like said, there really isn't much of a difference between the second generation devices in a same price range.
So i would go for the one that's most desperate for people to buy the devices. Nokia is sure to keep churning more free apps to it's WP Nokia Collection.
You can't go wrong with the Radar or Lumia 710. I've been using the Radar for the past month and a half and I love it. At first I was put off by the smaller screen size, I came from the Dell Venue Pro, but I've found it be awesome. Since all current Windows Phone's support the same resolution you shouldn't be 'too' bothered by a smaller device. It fits great in my pocket. Network connection is fast with T-Mo's "4G". Right now I'm tethering to my laptop
It was just officially annouced by Microsoft 40 minutes ago at the Windows Phone Summit that current windows phones would get WP 7.8 update with some features of WP8 but not WP8 itself.
The biggest worry is that WP8 will allow native code for apps, and that many apps will thus not work on "older" phones.
The Lumia 900 is only a few months old and the 800 and 710 and 610 are not much older (all are less than 9 months on the market), but they will not be getting Windows Phone 8 update just like all first generation Windows Phones. Nokia must have known for some time as well that current Lumia buyers would not get WP8 update, this seems unfair especially for Lumia 900 buyers.
I wonder if Nokia plans to do something to make this more fair for current Lumia users?
