Amazon.com buyers love the Lumia 900

 Amazon.com buyers love the Lumia 900

SUNNNYVALE, CA, United States – Amazon.com is a site where you can find just about anything for purchase. One facet that makes Amazon.com such a great e-commerce site are the reviews the community can leave on each product for sale there.

The reviews are typically very well written and reflect the purchasers’ true feelings (good or bad) about a product. We’re happy to see that Amazon.com purchasers of the Nokia Lumia 900 are happy with the phones capabilities and features. It’s fantastic to see that with more than 300 reviews, the Lumia 900 still has a 5-star rating.

Amazon ratings

Here’s a few samples of what people are saying:

Luis says his bride is really happy with her Lumia 900:

Well, this was not expected. I purchased this phone for the wife but wasn’t sure if she’d like it as she’s not into technology. As of last week, she didn’t want to get on the smartphone wagon as she deemed them too complicated to use. As some reviewers have stated, the OS is so simple that she doesn’t seem to be able to stop playing with it. The biggest benefit for her is that, and I quote:”I don’t have to do anything to see what everyone is doing!, I can just look at the home screen”. Well, good for her. Also, I guess the read-text feature is also a plus as she’s not one to use a blue-tooth device while driving-hence why she never picks up the phone or answer calls until she’s able.

Fast mobile speeds are important, especially to those who like to stream video. Sky Blue, an Amazon reviewer, says:

This phone makes web surfing eminently enjoyable. Video streaming speed is phenomenal — no buffering issue whatsoever! I watched the baseball and news clips without a pause while walking on the street, which is something that does not happen always even with my slow home wifi! These were unthinkable feats with my previous Iphone 4S.

Owners of the Lumia 900 keep saying this phone is the perfect size, as does Bacchus:

The Lumia 900 is absolutely gorgeous and has a huge screen measuring 4.3 inches. The phone feels great in my hand and can be operated easily with just one hand. My HTC Titan with its 4.7 inch screen was a little difficult to use one handed so I really think Nokia hit the sweet spot at 4.3 inches. I do wish the screen sat flush with the bezel like the Lumia 800 because the 900′s screen does protrude slightly which isn’t as aesthetically pleasing to me. This is just my opinion and doesn’t impact the functionality of the phone one bit. Overall this phone is gorgeous!

Lastly, Gary Hsu writes the loves how the Lumia 900 integrates with the rest of the technology in his life:

Integration with Windows Live allows me to easily update my calendar, contacts from my desktop and see it everywhere desktop/laptop/phone. I can also sync Lotus Notes from work to GMail and have it seamlessly integrate into the phone’s calendar and mailbox. Work calendar entries can overlay on the same calendar color coded for work versus personal calendar entry. It’s really a great OS.

As for the Lumia 900, it’s fast/very responsive. The screen is bright with great contrast. Try watching Netflix on this phone at 4G LTE speed on this large screen and you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

And if you’re still not convinced that the Lumia 900 is a great phone, then you can always ask an independent expert

    Well l like the ‘Independent Expert’ part a lot .. not that the remaining part is not interesting.

    As a Nokia fan, I would only like to see Nokia deliver some top quality products like Lumia 900, 808, N9 worldwide & make its way to the top again. :)

    And yes don’t forget to price it aggressively … what you need right now is more of Mind-share then the Market-share !

    • Anonymous

      Yes, if the Lumia 900 is competetive I wonder why Nokia is this afraid to release also the N9 worldwide.

      They are anyway attracting totally different people. The one is the iPhone rival with Microsoft ecosystem and the other is the superior Android killer for the geeks.

        Sure I love my Nokia N9, but for regular users….  naaaa. The N9 is just not up to par. I find myself using my N8 on a daily basis and the N9 more as a mp3 player and a toy to tinker with. 

        My next phone will probably be the Nokia 808 .. but I will pick up a Lumia as soon as my budget allows it (I don’t buy on contacts I want an unlocked phone.)  I just got to have the 808 , so a Lumia might have to wait a month or two, but I’m going to get one. Probably a Lumia 800 because i find 4.3″ to be to big for me, (and i never use videocalls so the lack of a front facing camera is not a big deal for me.)

    I wonder how a rating for the N9 superphone would look like if such a inferior model could get this rating. :-)

     I prefer the lumia design but with latest symbian carla phone. Windowsphones are no sales and not like by customers. Nokia keep supporting symbian which is by far the best OS in the industry. stable and nice. But launch new phones on symbian

        And Windows Phone is still totally incometitive…

        I would also prefer Symbian over Windows Phone. Even Bada has more to deliver. But I realize with the N9 the benefit of a real Linux system on a mobile phone.

        Symbian is still a great system, but it is hard for it to compete against maemo, Android or even QNX.

          If a housewife that never used a Smartphone can use it in minutes and becomes in Love with here phone then it must be great. Then the developers of that OS get kudos of 5-stars.  Lot of you forget what a phone should do, its not a PC! its a phone!

          • Anonymous

            Yes, but many geeks want today smartphones to replace a PC while on the go. Phones are great for housewifes.

            But the housewifes are not the software developers, they are not the geeks which are recommending and promoting the devices for your for free and they are not any longer the jung students which are selling the phones for you at the stores.

            The most of them will never reccoment a Windows Phone device because Nokia has stopped to sell and promote attractive devices for the fans, geeks and nerds.

       may be a fired symbian developer? WP7 is simple :-) You know what the most difficult thing is for developers? To develop an OS that handles complex operations in a Simple way :-) And thats what WP7 is all about :-)

      • Anonymous

        WP7 is the worst OS in the world. No good background process, etc. Customers dont buy windowsphones. WP8 maybe is the winner, but not 7.5 which is actually on Lumia phones for sure. 7.5 coud not run pureview due to the OS, thats why Nokia expect to fix this in WP8. It takes 2 years more aprox to have a good windowsphone. Hope Nokia survive with only 2 million sales. Lower than the smallest china manufacturer of mobile phones

  • James Diamond

    From an objective standpoint, it’s a fantastic phone. There’s really no way to deny that unless you are wearing iRose colored glasses. I only wish there were more options to customize the second screen. Nokia did its job amazingly well…MS has some work to do.

    • Anonymous

       Agreed.  Also, great reviews are understandable, because the LUMIA 900 is really an awesome phone !
      You just try the LUMIA 900 in your hand and you love it. The iphone looks like an outdated, clumsy device when compared to LUMIA  ….  and actually …  iphone is basically a 5-yr old 3G device.

         Lumia has a very good design in hardware, like N9, but uses obsolete windowsphone.

          Its a shame people like you can comment bull like you do. I am a software architect, can program any language you like. The OS is super. Yes it was quite late, but better late and well designed as crap like Android. Microsoft is a slow starter, but has experience with that. OS2 came but was crashed by Win95, Sony has the playstation but XBox360 is running wel. Wait untill autumn Nokia/PureView/WP8 great :-) smashing :-)

    Good to see Finallllly Lumia products getting some love in some markets…..as a power user I hope Nokia is currently working close with Microsoft to at least polish windows phone 8 os with much needed basic smartphone features which are already available in symbian,android,ios etc  

    • Anonymous

       Windowsphones are the lowest market share phone in the world. Moreover Microsoft is making a full analysis why people do not like their phones. So, hope nokia returns back to symbian or sales will fall down to just 1 million phones….

        I know it’s probably pointless to argue with you since you seem to have made up your mind, but I’d still like to set a few things straight.

        First of all, it is important to remember that the competing platforms (iOS & Android) have both been in the market for several iterations now, whereas the Lumia range is pretty much starting from scratch. It is absolutely not true that people don’t like Windows Phones. We’ve exceeded expectations in markets like the US. The Amazon reviews speak for themselves, and we have also received extremely positive feedback from consumer tests all over the world. As a matter of fact, Nokia’s brand preference has been increasing in markets that offer our Windows Phone products. Nokia won’t be going back to Symbian, and I believe the decision to adopt Windows Phone will prove itself to be the right decision. But it takes time of course.

           Windowsphone decision was a terrible mistake. Check sales charts, samsung is now first mobile manufacturer. I dont know how Nokia directors agree on that. Moreover, samsung will launch a low price phone with windowsphone. So nokia will be out of the market very soon. Check sales worldwide, nobody is buying a windowsphone in the world. Version 7.5 of windowsphone is unstable, and background process are a mess. Really, market takes the final decision. Hope nokia survive with only 2 millions phones. Lower than any small company manufacturer of China. Even your job could be affected by this decision

          Apparently a 1% increase in market share over one quarter and rapidly tanking Amazon sales is “exceeding expectations”. I understand Nokia needs to go on damage control to keep investors from bailing from the sinking ship, but this is just silly.

You know whats really funny? Lots of guys buy that phone for their woman, and guess what? They find the simplicity of this Phone amazing. And thats very very good.

    Absolutely pointless because Nokia ships with best exclusive OEM apps , OK bing maps are there but outside US nothing can beat nokia maps especially the quality and support u get , and also nokia music available to all non US countries and nokia always gives regular updates even if phone is old.

    Samsung gives good hardware but software side always ignorant and samsung specially has no good apps which are OEM exclusive to windows phone and in addition they destroyed whole android experience by shipping region based phones which run with different features inspite of being same model and not to speak about the cheap Touchwiz UI , absolute rubbish , ICS made by google was amazing and tey killed it with their BLOATWARE AND CRAP.

    If they do same with windows then no more patience to face the samsung crap.
    Even though samsung cant install as much crap as they do with android , they must do regular updates and regularly fix bugs.
    In my opinion service support and software are equally important along with hardware.

    If samsung maintains same ignorance towards software support to devices , their devices fail to impress even with best hardware specs amd low price.

    Well, you said it all right there. Nokia is going to fail. 

    You MUST be right, as ALL the developers on the forum agree with you. 

    Now that you have won the argument and predicted the demise of Nokia, you should sell your shares now while they are still worth something.

    Not that it matters, because with your amazing vision of the future, and your “connections” in the on line forums, you are surely living the high life with all this knowledge.
