Reports of the Nokia Lumia 900 on the Web

GLOBAL – The Nokia Lumia 900 has been on the shelves in America and Canada for almost two weeks now. Since then, we’ve been reading rave reviews about this new smartphone that’s taking the US and Canadian streets by storm. Let’s take a look at some of the reviews doing the rounds on the Web since launch.

Jordan Crook over at TechCrunch starts her piece with a very simple sentence:

“Guys, this one’s such a no brainer that I shouldn’t even have to lay it all out. But I will.”

Her post consists of two articles in one. One short piece at the top for those with not much time on their hands, and a much larger, in depth piece after that’s full of details about OS performance, display performance and of course the “top-notch” hardware on the Nokia Lumia 900.

Jordan ends her piece with a comparison chart against one of our competitors and also with the words:

“Nokia kicks ass at call reception”

The Yahoo! Contributor Network is a news site created by individuals who want to give their unique perspective on current trends. Naturally, the Nokia Lumia has been given some prime-time thanks to Paul Aertker offers his opinion piece called the Nokia Lumia 900 is the new iPhone.

He states that:

“Nokia’s newest creation is in a completely different league. For the 51% of the non-smartphone market, there is a new choice. Android, iPhone, and now Lumia.”

When the Nokia Lumia 900 was released, Nokia immediately realised there was a software issue and posted a solution in a post entitled Putting people first.

Engadget‘s Zachary Lutz picked up the story on the Nokia Lumia 900 software issue and brought news to his readers that the software fix was delivered days earlier than Nokia initially, commenting:

“Quite the graceful recovery, indeed.”

Our American friends over at the The Windows Phone Blog posted a very short post announcing the sales start of the Nokia Lumia 900 in Canada. Being an announcent piece, it’s not full of opinion as you’d expect, but the comments section is alive with it.

    There’s been some rumors that the lumia phones won’t be getting the next OS update (Apollo) and you might be aware of that. Of course I don’t believe that because of what you guys did with the N8 and other Symbian phones. Maybe you guys should right something about that because it’s confusing a lot of people.

      Could those rumors rather be for WP7 phones in general?

        Yes but MS should clarify that too. I’ve noticed a lot of negativity towards WP and the Lumia (which seems to be doing very well).

      Right now we haven’t got any announcements related to future versions of Windows Phone. We’re focused on rolling out our existing range of Lumia phones.

        Focusing on the now is what’s important. I agree with you completely.

    Heidi, I cannot seem to reply to your comment “We’re focused on rolling out our existing range of Lumia phones.” so I am posting anew.  Does the mean everything that came before 900 or are there new Lumia phones that you can provide details on. Anything with a Physical Qwerty Keyboard like the E7 ?

    I understand that the international version of Lumia 900 would be capable of utilizing 3G HSPDA since 4G is not very widespread as of now. Can you confirm if and when more Operators in Europe and other Non North American countries would start rolling out 4G in their respective countries, whether this device will have the capability to connect to 4G LTE networks? Or whether connecting to 4G is completely ruled out for the Non US Lumia 900 devices?

    What Nokia needs to do is produce something that LEAPFROGS the competition, especially in terms of hardware. The last phone to do that was the N95. Nokia seem to be 12 months behind the competition at the high end – they need to get themselves 6 months ahead
