I'm itching to get off of T-Mobile. Think I should wait for the 900 or get the 800 from the local Microsoft store? 900 LTE sounds great. Battery life might suck bad though. Or get the 800 which has the screen size I like.
Thoughts? Do you love your 800?
This is exactly the dilemma I have. I've decided to wait for the 900 which most sources seem to be saying will launch in May in the UK.
I've had Lumia 800 since December. Had I known in December everything I know about this phone now, I'd have never bought it.
My advise, wait for 900. At least it guaranteed to have tethering.

Agreed. I regret buying this after seeing the 900.
Thanks. Guess I'm waiting.
Good thinking..

What do you know about the 800 that's so bad?
I was also waiting for the Lumia 900 release, but that changed when I saw the size of the 900. It is bigger than the Samsung Focus S even though they do have the same size screens. Also the 900 is slightly smaller than the Titan. I had the Titan for 2 weeks and found it to be WAY to big for my needs.
So I am holding out for a good deal on a Lumia 800 with 850 band. Just my 2¢.

First of all as I customer I don't like to be lied to do. Nowhere in advertisement it was mentioned that Nokia Drive requires a data connection to find a location. It was advertised as a completely offline navigation software.
Secondly internet tethering was promised to be released in Jan'12. We would be lucky if we see it at all.
Of course everybody heard about the battery and audio quality disasters.
Basically customers who purchased 800 in Nov'11 - Jan'12 were using a beta quality product.
As for me my next phone is not gonna be a Nokia phone.

Internet tethering is coming in a future update - Nokia have confirmed this. Battery and audio quality issues have all been fixed since 12070. Can't comment on the Nokia Drive advert (I haven't seen the Lumia advertised with Nokia Drive) - however, Nokia Drive has been updated to version 3 and was presented at MWC with fully-functioning offline navigation and free traffic rerouting. As far as I know, it will be released in April.
This is Nokia's first WP7 phone - give them a chance to get used to the platform. They have released a new firmware update every month for the past four months, so they're obviously working hard to iron out all the kinks - most of which have been fixed with the latest 12070 update.
I'll admit there were issues to begin with, but the Lumia 800 is finally shaping up to be a decent phone now.
It was pictures of the 900 that made me consider getting a Lumia, but in the end I went for the 800 for the reason already mentioned above - screen size.
I had a HD7 with a 4.3" screen and yeah it's great for the web etc. but it's a pain to use as a phone and useless single-handed.
My Galaxy S with 4" screen seemed to be the perfect compromise between large screen and usability, I wouldn't want to go above that on a phone.
Personally I'm going to wait for something like the Nokia Prodigy.
Yes I know a long wait on that one but I have an iPhone 4 that will do for now and a great sim only tariff. I can wait a bit longer to get the phone I want.
Wait for 900 i guess, comparative with 800 it will rock!~~~
Took the Lumia 800 for screen size. I personally don't want a bigger phone and I am quite happy with the 800 so far.
@moosic Think of few things, like 4G LTE ready Windows Phone device, big screen, refreshed rear camera and a front-facing camera built-in it with a wider apeture and great image quality. You are getting a good featured smartphone but it seems like you'll have to wait for it way too long. There are rumors out there that say, it has been delayed on A&T till April 22nd. Does it worth it? I can't tell, basically for me, i'd like to have all those features but the size doesn't fit my pocket + you still have to wait.

I was also waiting for 900. But the size is to big for my woman hand, and i was also disapointed that the screen wasnt curved like the 800. So last friday I bought the 800 in magenta and I just love the phone.

Currently facing the same dilema. I'm due an upgrade on Orange to replace my Omnia 7.
Personally I don't care about a FFC so that isn't a selling point for me on the 900. I do think however the Omnia 7 is as big as I'd want to go at 4".
Having used Galaxy S2s i find that to be possibly too big.
Has there been any official word if the 800 will be updated to Apollo / WP8 when it rolls out? I don't want to upgrade in April and then have an obsolete OS version by November...

When you have carpel tunnel syndrome (me) thats a 10000x worse
Ive been forced back to a 4s just so I can keep value in my hand set till the next gen 3.7" screened Lumia comes out
I think the 800 is the perfect size and form factor. Just something about 900's size I don't care too much for..
That said, if front-facing camera were a priority, then you need the 900 regardless.
Camera's important to me; so my gut tells me that Nokia will use the 900 platform for their rumored Lumia Windows Phone incorporating Pure View- so if/when that happens, I'll make the jump to the bigger phone and live with the size of it..
Pure View in Windows Phone won't be until 2013 so waiting for that isn't that great of an idea.
Hello all,
I love big screens because I read a lot on phones,
so I decide to buy either the HTC Titan or the Titan II
my question to whom used both phones for a while
please advise which one should I invest my money in
I don't care a lot about camera or LTE network because I live in Egypt and LTE will be available within more than a year
I care a lot about signal strength and phone stability and long live
and somewhat the good looking and feel in hands
will the Titan I metal body be better than the Titan II plastic body?
I'll be waiting for your comments
and many thanks in advance
I have owned a Titan since January and find it to be one of the nicer Windows Phone 7 handsets after owning a few, However after trying a Nokia Lumia Have now ordered a Lumia 900, Screen size is 4.3" compared to 4.7" but has amoled screen and some nice Nokia Apps, Maybe worth considering? Can't comment on the Titan2 as Not available in UK yet but does look abit plasticky.

Thanks for your opinion,
and yes I know that the lumia phones are great, I've checked them at germany my self, they look great
but to be honest with you I prefer SLCD screens over AMOLED screens,
in reading small text AMOLED screens are horrible, but SLCD are great
as I said I read a lot of emails, news, and books on phones

Overall Performance is identical.. imo i like the look of the titan II but not enough to actually replace the reg titan... And the whole non removable battery i dislike... If for example i dropped the phone in water i would go for the battery OH WAIT you can't
can't speak on the titan2 but i have had my titan since november and its been rocksolid.its been dropped and accidently flung a few times and no problems.i use a rubber case and screen protector as the environments i work in are harsh. Great phone and excellent operating system. camera is good and the spec stands up to the recently released 900 and titan2 win7.5 phones. if you don't need lte and 16 mb camera then the titan is the one i would choose as they've sorted all the bugs that some of the titans had.
OK, but what about call quality on the Titan I
and rceiption bugs
I had a Titan until I shattered the screen. So, I got a Titan II.
Both are great phones, but you may as well get the Titan II for the extra benefits (camera, LTE, etc). It will not hurt you.

Mostly since things are fixed with updates while AT&T sucks at that
it does seem atandt titans had more than their share of problems where as the european unlocked titans have been for the most part very good. a couple issues with the early release pre nov 2011 but from nov on a good phone with regular updates

so you guys confirms that an unlocked version of the Titan I and recent made will be good and mostly bug free
I quess so
but I think the Titan I still a risky choice
but I love its metal body,
oh !!!.... god I'm very confused
Personally like the metal finish on Titan 1. I had mine since January and no complaints. Likely be able to pick it up for cheaper price too since the titan 2 is out. Both are pretty much the same phone with the exception of lte and camera.

that is good,
but i don't like htc to attach the antennaes in the backdoor cover
this is mostly the reason that many members complain about poor receiption
may be I'll buy the Titan II with a good rubber cover for it to protect its body
but if any body has more advices I appreciate him/her
does anybody has more advices?

No SD-card for 920, however on the cheaper 820 there is a sd-card slot.
EDIT:
From WMPoweruser:
Winfuture.de reports the Nokia Lumia 920 will be released in Germany in mid-October and will retail for 600 Euro ($758, £476).
The Austrian art magazine ‘Future Zone‘ reported that Nokia wants to deliver the Lumia 920 from the middle of October in Germany. They expect the handset to initially launch only in a few countries, much like the roll-out of the Nokia Lumia 800, before being available everywhere.
The handset will be introduced first in Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Russia, before becomes available in late October in Poland. The Scandinavian countries, Portugal and Spain will receive the handset a short time later.
The Nokia Lumia 820 will follow 2 weeks later in the same markets and will retail for around 450 Euro ($568, £357).
Of note is that the Samsung Galaxy S III 16 GB without LTE is 580 Euro, making the 32 GB LTE Nokia Lumia 920 very price competitive.
A cheaper version of the Lumia 920 without LTE will also be available.

I really liked the look of the 820.
WAIT, WHAT ? No Skype integrated ??

They said it already during the Windows Phone Summit 2 months back. They won't be integrating Skype into the OS. They will allow any VoIP App to fully integrate itself with WP8's Dialer and allow it to run in the background (which includes Skype but won't force Skype on everyone's handset (which would lead to problems with carriers)).
Does anyone think the specs might be wrong? I was disappointed when the 920 didn't list AWS support, but then when I saw that the 820 also didn't list it I became a bit suspicious since many are saying the 820 is destined for TMobile US.
The Nokia 920 its too heavy and big for a 4.5" display, 130.3 x 70.8 x x10.7 mm and 185g.
It's a shame because the rest of the hardware (camera, screen, built materials, etc) and the nokia software, are great.
The Ativ S by comparation with a 4.8" display has 137.2 x 70.5 x 8.7 mm and 135g.
Sturdier shell, bigger camera compartment (you need room for the camera assembly to move for the optical stabilization to be able to work), the extra Hardware for wireless charging and due to the improved touch technology by Synaptics I guess they need more room for the screen as well (I'm pretty sure it's not on-cell technology as with Samsung's SuperAMOLED).
er , someone say lunch?
oh. launch.
yawn.

That 920 would of been cool if it only had the SD slot.... Oh, well, HTC's is on the 19th, maybe they will have something to blow away the 920. Over all besides the lack of the newest Windows Phone 8 standard missing (MicroSD), the 920 is a great phone

Some people are hard to please the L900 was 127.8 x 68.5 x 11.5 mm and 160 g.
Considering all the new tec in this phone it is only 25g heaver and slightly thinner.
Wish Nokia went with Android instead. Looks to be a decent handset but I won't go near it with it having Windows.

try it out first? yeah I'm an android fan too, but mostly for the apps not the actual OS :S I'm growing a bit tired of the icons business... but what I didn't like about the windows phone was the app list either :S I preferred android's screen/icons over the app list.
Kind of want just the metro UI as homescreen and android's app drawer lol.
back to topic, yeah, try out the windows phone, I'll stop by store when it's out. Nothing to say I'll buy it, but this phone is one that I'll make a stop in to at least get hands on with
Prices are 450 Euro for Lumia 820 and 600 Euro for Lumia 920. Worth or not ?

This phone will definitely be subsidized under contract with phone companies (speaking of US)
As for AT&T USA, I'm thinking this phone should sell for $100-$200.

"price competitive" (which requires signing a 2 year contract AND possible etf's) isn't good enough to entice folks already comfortable with their respective platforms.
the s3 has a very good reputation. the 920 has..... what?
Hi there,
I have a Nokia Lumia 800 running WP7.8, and I am loving it.
I was wondering if there was a smart cover/case for the Lumia 800, or failing that, the polycarbonate case that comes with the phone in different colours.
Many thanks in advance

like xda has ever cared about windows phone...i wish there was a Lumia 925 forum as well, however there is no Lumia 928 forum either. I think they expect us to just use the Lumia 920 forum... Xda is definitely one of the worst windows phone resources available.

I ended up a while back having to create a thread in here because there was no separate forum. Even though I suspect because of its design it might well outsell both the 920 & the 1020.
ye
there must be a thread section for LUMIA 925
\which is better in all aspects than 920
and even more sold in 6 months
Besides the amoled screen it offers not much extras compared to the 920. It offers only half the storage capability and the price is higher than the 920. The build quality of the 920 is also sturdier and more compact imho.
This site used to be "window phone only" and it's now it's very much "android only". It's used to have a forum for every HTC window phone. It's sad to see the site convert 100% to android and not much about what it started out long ago.
