Two weeks with the Nokia Lumia 900

Published by Tom Hall on October 3, 2012

Marius Masalar has embraced the #SwitchToLumia challenge wholeheartedly, and has spent the last couple of weeks away from his usual device to cozy up to the Nokia Lumia 900.

Two weeks with the Nokia Lumia 900

In Part I of his report on how he found the experience (I love Part I’s, it always means there’s at least a Part II on the way), he discusses how he decided to see if the Lumia 900 could replace his iPhone completely as his ‘daily driver’. He liked the

‘inherently playful’

nature of the design, and the ‘substantial and durable’ feel.

A couple more highlights before I let you read the whole post, including the ‘breath of fresh air’ that are the People tiles (he liked pinning individual contacts to his home screen) and the Messaging tile that was ‘more thorough’ than he’s used to.

Have you made the #switchtolumia? Or was there no need for you to make the switch as you were on board already? How are you finding your Lumia? Share your thoughts in the comments, or drop us a line on Twitter (we’re always listening).

    Good decision to switch to Lumia 900 from iphone…. even iphone5 lags behind Lumia 900 in certain aspects which are very important in day to day smartphone usage.

    I want to make the switch to Lumia 920, but my wife won’t let me switch from Verizon to AT&T, so you need to get on Verizon to make sure they are going to have the 920.

      Lucky you. I’ve been online for an hour at least trying to get tech support for mine. Surreal. AT&T and Nokia online “troubleshooting” resources are aggravating.

    Intresting how you send him a phone with the Network Setup App pre-installed to address the MMS issue he had when Canadian’s have been asking since the release of the Lumia 900 for the Network Setup app to be available in Canada!
