its a freaking nokia n9, bigger screen but uglier.

nokia instead of wasting ur time and money marketing something people don’t want , start selling n9 state side and plan a successor.

[...] Via Nokia Conversations [...]

Nokia N9 have no future, for it is more like Linux, so business blame it not easy earning money – ok, in this world, it end up to be piece of screw in bin.

The Lumia 900 looks gorgeous. But I’m only saying that because I have a blue N9 so I’m biased! If only Nokia had kept MeeGo going (alongside WP if need be) more than just “back in the lab”. Every single person who has seen my N9 here in New York *loves* the hardware and MeeGo OS, even the guys in a T-Mobile store – they couldn’t believe how cool the swiping is. But I do like the Lumia 900, and I think it’s 1000 times better for Nokia to slam into the USA with something as awesome as that, instead of a clunker like the N97 was. It finally looks like they’re getting it right!  :)

well android is linux and its making tons of money.
windows phone isn’t. making money either. or marketshare-

Why NOTHING good for T-Mobile?

Nokia Lumia 710 is now available through T-Mobile in the US, and it offers excellent value for money!

game over nokia. Htc is used to competing on specs, they are battle tested from the android world. They are playing for keeps

Since this is an Lumia post, can the Meego people shut up? I’m asking nicely (take note of the smiley grin face there).

Come-on Mr. Elop Lumia 900 only for US won’t save your ship.

The Lumia 900 is a beautiful device. .. I personally prefer the Lumia 800 though. 4.3 inch is just to big for my taste  but they like it big in America *lol*

Was not a big fan of the move to go with windows Phone, but after I have tried it on a Nokia, I must say I am convinced. Still love my Symbian and can’t wait for Symbian Belle and the maybe some nice MS Office on it as well as mentioned in the past, but I will get a Lumia 800 very soon too.  

Hoping there is a big PR attack in store for the U.S. market … “Deadmau5 in London”-style x 10    …and something tells me Nokia has something up their sleeves.

yeah the N97 was horrid, a huge mistake best taken as a good lesson on how not to do it. also gave Symbian a bad rap. With N97, Symbian was not the problem, it was horrible hardware design..   ….but with Lumia 900 …Now we are talking.  Nokia have done it right and are back in the game… Excellent hardware and an OS to match the needs most people have today.

(lets just not mention the N97 ever again unless as a warning    )

Nokia lost a great chance of taking lead in the market.Putting same sensor size in both 800 and 900 doesn’t make sense.With bigger size of 900,it was possible to accomodate bigger sized sensor which could have helped you in regaining the position in market,lost by N9 and lumia 800.

“When I started at Nokia, I asked employees three questions – what
should I change, what shouldn’t I change and what might I miss.”

1. Your attitude about Symbian – sorry, Nokia – OS …
2. Don’t sell Nokia to M$, and don’t give us poor Symbian (ok Nokia) devices only to sell more M$ devices..
3. With this tactic you will miss costumers and i think in a short time your position (CEO) at Nokia, before you distroy it and it’s too late..

 This man is so happy that he succeeded to make NOKIA a slave for Microsoft!! Without NOKIA, WP would have been gone in 1-2 years!!!

You’re partly right. Lumia 900 is only the beginning in the US, stay tuned for more!

He’s working on it! He’s too talkative for a Finn, though

Looks great, and seems to be getting a very warm reception. Great to see Nokia with good news, and a great product for North America.

I don’t think the camera sensor will be a deciding factor. However, I am happy to tell you that the Lumia 900 has a larger aperture than the 800, so it works faster, with less motion blur and improved low-light performance.

what about us poor sods in Australia ?? Carriers over here have been so brainwashed by google that it’s almost impossible to find a current model WP handset on a plan.

LOLreally? Microsoft was contending with Google for the partnership with Nokia. NOKIA and its Board chose Microsoft;it was time for Nokia to move forward into the new age and offer a great hardware partnership with a great operating system to make an awesome superphone. There is a reason that the World’s largest mobile phone manufacturer (Nokia) chose
Microsoft for its future growth. I want a phone that works as stable as iOS or better. In my opinion, the ONLY two operating systems stable enough to dominate the world is Windows Phone and iOS, just like their equivalent counterparts in the PC / MAC industry. Android is an unstable, battery consuming, unsecured and overrated piece of TRASH that is being thrown around by a behemoth company whose primary business is search queries; and that my friends is the Truth about phones!

That’s their call, ultimately. I am sure Nokia is keen to sell phones to every carrier.

I wonder the same. As someone who’s been working in the phone business for years I can not see what Mr. Elop sees. He pretty much destroyed the European market and a lot of customers bought Lumia because they were influenced by the huge amount of advertising. We get a lot of feedbacks of Nokia (Lumia) users who complain now that it isn’t really a Nokia phone (I’m not talking about phone geeks…) or who would switch back to another phone.
Symbian started to get a better feedback compared to past years because of the new and faster design (Anna and upcoming Belle), but many customers often ask and are worried about the fact that Symbian might not be supported any more. 
Similar to Meego (N9). We get many positive feedbacks and most of the N9 users are overly happy and even telling it would be the best Nokia phone ever. But the are a lot of complains about that the systems seems unfinished, unsupported (weak browser, no sync software (contacts, calendar), missing applications, missing updates (PR 1.1 is still not available in most countries!!) and like with Symbian many are scared to buy Meego because Elop made it sound to be a dead system. Day per day we have to help customers with problems and work-arounds, because Nokia’s support for the N9 is very bad.

Nokia should have focused on the US market and European (plus others) separately. Right now I doubt a lot that Windows Phone ever will be a success worldwide, but who knows, surprises are always there and the relationship of Nokia and Windows is still fresh. This is no excuse though for the very bad, unprofessional management (extern, idk how it is intern) by Nokia’s CEO. 

Many, many customers wished it would be this way… 

Microsoft already controls the Nokia company in my opinion;  the Board of Directors was likely nominated by hedge funds acting on behalf of Microsoft ;   likewise this ELOP official who was sent from the corridors of Microsoft to take over the pride of Finland.

Finland have lost their national asset  forever ;  Nokia will be completely destroyed and sold off ;  only the Nokia patents will be transferred to Microsoft and the entire Nokia company will disappear.

Elop will rejoin his family in Redmond/Washington/USA and will be reassigned to some Microsoft job working for his Balmer master.

Support by its own company would have been enough. But that’s Nokia and maybe the worst management in the world (?). You cannot expect more from a company which is lead by a lunatic CEO…

 enaugh lumia bla-bla, Nokia N9 just overtook lumia 800 on gsmarena (lumia 800 had its short momentum on launch when exceeded N9, but did not keep up)

This is the best proof that even with the mega-marketing for lumia line, people still are more interested in N9!!! Mr. Elop, I understand your efort for pushing Microsoft pruducts, but you clearly don’t understand the mobile market!

I just read myself a little bit through that blog. It’s very obvious Nokia wants something different than phone users. While Nokia Conversation is like “Lumia, Lumia, Lumia”, the users-comments are “Meego, Meego, Meego” (or Symbian etc). Looks like there is a big difference between both parties what shouldn’t be. Get’s hopefully better next week when all the CES/Lumia blogs are over. I’m on the Meego side, so I might not think very neutral, but the blog is very (to much) Lumia focused.

“When I started at Nokia, I asked employees three questions – what should I change, what shouldn’t I change and what might I miss.
“They said it was important to reach out to employees and understand what is happening in the field.
“That advice is what led us here today.”

Oh Yeah really? Windows Phone marketshare is still in single digits, people dont want Windows! Please stop that **! We want N9, not LUMIA. Who are you do decide and dictate us to use Windows? We are loyal Nokia consumers who want Symbian or Meego – a complete in house product from Nokia. We dont need any free infections along with a Phone!

I agree. I am a longtime Nokia fan and I would really like to buy a WP7 phone but the only one out there that appeals to me is the Dell Venue Pro.  I love Nokia hardware but on T-Mo USA, my only choice is Lumia 710. What ever happened to the pentaband radios in the N9? Can we get some pentaband WP7 support? I’ll remain positive.  My tax return will be my phone upgrade money

I think it will be a problem for Nokia if customers think different than Nokia CEO. Not good for Nokia.

According to Google Analytics, Nokia Lumia 900 is currently the #2 search keyword (right after Nokia Conversations) that people use for arriving on our site. The majority of our traffic comes through search, and the number of people who are currently looking for information on Lumia is HUGE. As we are in the business of selling new phones, we naturally want to cater to this audience.
Having said that, we do have other devices in our portfolio as well, and will keep on publishing stories on Series40, N9 and Symbian, so keep the feedback coming!

[...] Today was the big Nokia announcement and unfortunately, we couldn;t get in for it.  But still, we had a small private briefing, at which we were told the Nokia Lumia 900 is now official. We couldn’t see it, that will come tomorrow, but either way, Nokia now has a Windows Phone device in the US.  It will launch some time in Q1 of this year, has a 4.3″ screen, 8MP camera and will run exclusively on AT&T’s network. Hopefully I will get a hands on in the coming days and post more then. In the meantime , head on over to Nokia Conversations for a bit more about the device, and an exclusive Stephen Elop video. [...]

you finding wrong reasons and making wrong suggestion about people interest to certain Nokia products. It is dangerous for Nokia business to not predict what people want. One person started this on February 2011 and you blindly following his crazy ideas.

Ashamedly, i’m just seeing this today – partly because I was at CES.

I am a bg fan of both MeeGo and Windows Phone and in some perfect universe, the two would marry and bring the best of both in terms of UI, functionality and developer support.

This is very much a marketing piece from Elop and while I accept that nokia conversations is the mouthpiece of Nokia to the world and Nokia is trying to sell phones, it feels almost fake.  Elop got across a good message about the Lumia devices and more in his interview with Miriam Joire sounding more genuine and (although still very careful in his words and message), and that may be in part because she asked questions. The “interview” here feels scripted and hopefully sometime nokia conversations can have a real 1 on 1 interview with Stephen Elop, with some slightly more challenging questions, perhaps some sent in by readers. His answer to the last question grates particularly as it’s a politicians answer – twisted and maneuvered to end up at the talking point than genuinely answer a potentially interesting question.

I will say this – the Nokia booth at CES was buzzing and it was a huge success for them.  I think it would have been a harder sell with MeeGo to get T-Mobile and AT&t on board with a 4th/5th ecosystem (although we don’t talk about it, they do still sell balackberry).  But undoubtedly, the buzz for MeeGo last year was at least as huge and I hope that through Nokia’s work with Microsoft, Nokia and Microsoft (esp) will not forget the qualities of Harmattan and Swipe UI and even bring them to Windows Phone (and not just to future S40/Meltemi/smarterphone/low end devices). 

Windows Phone is to be Nokia’s Primary smartphone platform and it’s clear that that is how nokia is treating it, and it has a great future. But right now it is far from clear it is their simplest to use, most functional / feature rich or even their prettiest.  And for developers it is good, but it is also their most locked down with some serious API oddities. 

So it’s great Nokia is back in North America, it’s great to get AT&T and T-Mobile and Telus on board.  It’s great to get new customers for Nokia. But for long time customers, it’s a shame to loose blootooth file transfer, tv out, fm transmitters, pentaband radios and a host of other nokia standards.  It’s a shame to have an 8MP camera which probably isn’t the best 8MP camera on a phone – even on a nokia phone let alone among the competition (in part as it’s optimized for Bing Vision, not photos).  It’s a shame to have the flagship to be the first device in a year released by Nokia without NFC support, or with an amoled but get no notifications when locked.  It’s a shame to go back to 3 buttons when we know that 1 or even 0 will do just fine. 

Like many below, I do believe that Harmattan could have been a success, if nokia had been able to push out devices and suport them with a good marketing budget, even in the US (though it would have to have been a european success first I suspect).  But the path has been chosen and I wish Nokia and WIndows Phone success along it.  Windows Phone is good and we need more than iPhones and androids in this world.  My hope is that come this time next year, and with the release of Windows Phone Appollo, Microsoft and Nokia have a platform, and variety of devices that is fitting of a technology leader like Nokia, and which Symbian and MeeGo users can be proud of and switch to without missing functionality.

And that when elop announces these devices, it will come across as genuine excitement and exuberance rather than the carefully worded soundbites of a marketing man.

I agree with Chris Martin. It isn’t enough that Nokia makes Windows Phones. Samsung, HTC, LG, Dell and a horde of other manufacturers can do that. It’s also not enough that Nokia bundle a few apps with their device – which isn’t even unique among windows phones or otherwise to begin with.

As an exclusive partner and mobile company par excellence, Nokia needs to show us reasons why Windows Phone makes sense, today or in the long run. So we have something to look forward to. Pretty please?

Thank you for this interesting text, one of the best ones on Nokia Conversations even though it’s “just” a comment. 

I can understand what allboutn9 meant. It’s also more than logical what Google Analytics tells. Lumia 900 is the newest phone and Windows throws so much advertising (compared to other Nokia phones) at you that a lot of people want to get more infos bout this phone (even someone who isn’t interested in buying it) – this is of course a wanted result of advertisement. It’s also a fact that Nokia Conversation (NC) mainly talks about Windows phones – so if you search Google for Nokia phones/OS the chances that you land on NC are pretty low. 
I could also imagine that a lot of Symbian/Meego users don’t read NC that much anymore since there are many better blogs for those systems around – which have daily updates while NC barely ever mentions them anymore.

So dear Nokia and the “super” CEO you have. What do I have to do once the N9 gets old? WIll there still be a Nokia smartphone I can buy?

I don’t want Windows Phone – f.e to restricted and controlled by Microsoft, IMO an unhandy UI, missing of an real notification area (those tiles don’t give me the fast overview i’d need) and those security issues which come up with every WP version. I also need bluetooth transfer quiet a lot and especially mass storage.

 I also don’t want to go back to iOS; also very restricted and controlled if not jailbroken, to much based on applications (you need for everything an app, barely anything is nicely implemented into the system), lot’s of functions I’d miss but also a lot I would never need and for what you get way to expensive.

Then we have Android, my favorite after Nokia (Meego, Symbian). But the more I get interested in Android phones the more I hear about problems. Like that the phone gets hot while using skype and battery drops fast (while on my N9 that works like a charm), same for other applications. And other lil problems which would scare me right now to buy an Android phone – that systems seems to be a mess in some parts and not to work properly with some important functions.

With Maemo Harmattan and N9 Nokia finally brought a phone to the market which works well the way you buy it. It is so amazing that I can’t imagine any other phone right now. It has everything, all the functions, all the freedom (mass storage etc…), NFC, great UI, beautiful design, alarm which goes of when phone turned off, notifications even on standby (!!), and could write a very long list…

Even though the app market is small, there are already many good quality apps I had never found for f.e my previous iPhone. The user interface of N9 is truly amazing – never before I enjoyed a phone some much. Using the N9 is finally a joy and it works like a charm. And something about what I write about it has to be true, because everyone who has the N9 or could test it is absolutely amazed by the phone.

The N9 would have been a huge success, but the problem is it’s enemy: Nokia – which destroyed it’s full success through disastrous management decisions and marketing (non-)efforts which were barely seen in such a bad way in history of the smartphone market.

So again my question: What do I have to do after the N9? And the 2nd one: What the heck is going on with y’all and those decisions you make?? I really don’t understand…

it is still a little chance for Nokia to “re-born” MeeGo devices in case if Lumia phones fails in sales this year (it seems like it will be like this) -> elop will be fired -> new ceo will get rid of the nokiaM$ strategy. I hope this will happen and wish only the best for my favorite company (..still yet favorite).

Sorry, but this scenario is highly unlikely.

If you read my post below, you might guess what i will say here. Remember WP is in it’s infancy (yes, so is Harmattan) so It should be given some time to improve. I have an N9 and right now, i don’t plan on making my daily pphone a Windows Phone yet – just a few too many niggling issues for me which, yes, they are not there in the same way on the N9.

However, to understand why Nokia dropped MeeGo for Windows Phone you have to go back a little bit, and you also have to look consider not how Nokia fans would perceive Windows Phone, but hope MeeGo would be perceived in places where Nokia wasn’t seen as a good choice.

I think it’s pretty fair to say that Windows Phone has received critical acclaim for it’s UI, and that it runs smoothly all the time with very few crashes, bugs or other issues (i.m not sure which security issues you are referring to in your post, but I have only heard about 1 with Wp7).

I think you are right that MeeGo is great, and Nokia could have stuck with it and been successful.  But I think in many markets it would have been a harder slog and tougher ask.  It’s speculation but especially in the US – US carriers would likely have been reluctant to carry this device until it has been a success elsewhere. 

Nokia had a choice between two smooth OS platforms, which looked great and were butter smooth in MeeGo and WP7.  Ultimately they chose the one with support from multiple hardware vendors, and with development in a language the business software community knows – something that has led to unprecedented app store growth. And it seems they had a choice between a slow release schedule and a faster one. 

Look up bloomberg business week 7 page article on Elop’s early months at Nokia, which takes you through some of the decision making process. If what is in that article is true, the reasons for the switch seem more sensible.  But it IS stil a risk and for me, I have to hod out hope that with Windows Phone appollo, Microsoft and Nokia can deliver something that appeals to people used to fantastic functionality and multitasking experince of Symbian, and wraps it in a UI that MeeGo fans can also enjoy.

type in google search “lumia sales numbers” and read articles from press dated 22-24 december 2011. It gives you overview about popularity of Nokia windows phone products at first. If investors will not satisfied with elop ideas, any kind of scenarios might happen. No one can predict that.

If you mean the story from the Mail, i’m not sure they are the best source, and unfortunalty neglect to mention if this is sales, or phones in use. It also neglects to mention the time period over which this survey took place. I struggle to believe a random sample of 5000 people ha sonly 8 devices being used by more than 10 people (8.5 for Lumia 800). I’m not going to suggest Windows Phone sales are going to be amazing-i really have no idea what to expect, but they will be much better than this suggests.

The reason i find this unlikely is as much because in speaking to people from nokia at CES, the company has made the transition.  It has taken time but there it is.  It is unlikely to take another year off right now to transition back.  IN addition, they would probably have to pay out a heck of a lot of money to MS for breaching the agreement with them.

Don’t get me wrong, I like MeeGo – the N9 is my phone and WP7 has some holes to be filled before I switch over so in many ways. I wouldn’t mind Nokia swithcing back.  I just think that the logistics of turning it round again, combined with the losses from breaching any deal with MS mean it’s highly unlikely.

Ever heard of an Ostrich?

Deleting my comment wont help, pls ask nokia board members to stick their head off the mud(MS) and look at your stock prices! Also the dropping windows phone market share vs rising consumer interest on the N9!

Why SPB 3D is still not available in Nokia Store? i have copying pasting this in all posts because i asked this question many times but nobody answered yet…and i knw you all are not sleeping…

Interesting

The Nokia N9 outsold the Lumia by 3 to 1 – even though the N9 is considerably more expensive. Why Elop was trying so hard to turn the N9 into a failure? As a Microsoft exec, he knew that the device and its MeeGo operating system were better than he let on. A good selling N9 was not part of his plan – which is to deliver Nokia’s smartphone business into Microsoft’s arms. Run it into the ground, and make it as cheap as possible.

Its still so much better than having an android phone. Google is feeling the excustomers recourse to their no privacy policy. Some customers care about their personal information as the next black gold by google execs at a recent conference. Eric just dumped a huge amount of shares. Seems evil google is fact and feeling the heat.

I would rather have the Windows Mango and next Apollo OS with all the trimmings than to be without Windows at this point. I dont think there is any shame in the 800 or 710. They made a phone for the current OS that has won awards.
