Nokia Lumia 900 Prices, Plans, and Specs

"It's hard to overstate how impressed I am with the Nokia Lumia 900. The phone's industrial design is impeccable, and it's really the only phone on the same level of the iPhone 4S in this regard. Performance is great, and the Windows Phone Metro interface is a joy to use, though I do wish that third-..."

"Battery life on the Lumia 900 is actually quite impressive. In real-world scenarios the phone lasts through the entire day, even with 4G on the entire time. It seems like phone makers are finally figuring out what it takes to make 4G viable in the battery department, and we’re glad to see it. "

"Making and taking calls, you find that the speaker performance is also excellent, providing some of the loudest volume we’ve heard to date. Typing on the on-screen keyboard is also great, with solid responsitivity coupled with spelling suggestions."

"The Lumia 900 is a fantastic smartphone, and one of the best on the market. We’d like to see 4G speeds from Nokia soon in this same great hardware package; perhaps combined with Windows Phone 8, a better screen resolution and a dual-core CPU. When that happens, we believe Nokia will have an incredib..."

"The AMOLED screen certainly looks great, as its incredibly deep black levels gives colours a huge amount of punch. Images look just as good as on the Lumia 800, which has a smaller 3.7in AMOLED display, and the larger screen size makes viewing photos a joy. However, the fact that the Lumia 900 has t..."

"The Nokia Lumia 900 is without a doubt the best Windows Phone device on the market. We love the superb design and build, the excellent performance and the slick look and feel of the Windows Phone OS. However, the Lumia 900 has a number of flaws that detract from its overall appeal when compared dire..."

"The build quality of the Nokia Lumia is great. Save for the rather flimsy hardware buttons on the smartphone's side, and its gentle microSIM tray, there is absolutely nothing to frown about. The phone's polycarbonate unibody is also great in handling accidental drops."

"The 4.3-inch AMOLED screen is an absolute joy to behold. It boasts an 800x480 resolution and the same ClearBlack technology we saw on the Lumia 800. The colourful Windows Phone OS Live Tiles interface really shines through and practically beams from the device. The capacitive touchscreen was a pleas..."

"Contacts are easily added with a tap, and the Windows Phone keyboard makes good use of the display with tall, well-spaced keys that one-up the stock Android keyboard (iOS remains comparable, if not superior, however). We also prefer the pleasing, understated "tock tock tock" sound as we hit keys, co..."

"The Lumia 900 is a beautiful object. Even in garish cyan — or “blue”, as it’s known to us plebes — the combination of Nokia’s spaceship hardware and Microsoft’s super-futuristic Metro vibe make the phone a handset of the future. The specs are nothing spectacular, but this is one phone that will keep..."

"I had no complaints with the display itself, though, and it's easily one of the Lumia 900's key selling points. The beautiful 4.3-inch AMOLED screen features ClearBlack display technology and Gorilla Glass. Colors look richly hued, bright, and sharp. I compared the Lumia 900 with the Samsung Focus S..."

"To Microsoft's credit, the 900 never lags or stutters, defaulting instead to that measured, graceful flow we described earlier. Certain applications load appreciably quicker than others, particularly native ones, but thanks to that pristine, visual uniformity decreed by Microsoft, even the slowest o..."

"On the device I tested, the rear camera was capable of producing fine photos, though generally the 900 shot somewhat grainy and very washed out images. It's not that those images were particularly bad — they just weren't particularly good. Though the company touts Carl Zeiss optics, I didn't see any..."

"It's like a phone that missed the boat last year and arrived too late this year to be really relevant. If you'd love a Nokia branded Windows Phone today, the Lumia 800 is cheaper and, in many respects, nearly exactly the same. Some may prefer the larger screen on the Lumia 900, but you won't lose an..."
