We got our palms on a Lumia nine hundred last week and spent a day with it, attempting to use it as our primary device. Windows 7.Five is an effortless OS to use, tho’ it is different enough from Android and iOS that it does take some time to get familiar with. Before we get into the pros and cons of the device, here is a little refresher about the specs of the device:
– Four.Three″ AMOLED ClearBack glass touchscreen
– sixteen GB Internal Memory
– 4G LTE Connectivity
– eight MP Carl Zeiss camera; one MP front camera
– Five.6 ounces; Two.7 inches across, Five.03 inches tall, 0.45 inches thick
This phone feels sturdy in your arms, and while it has a little more assets to hold onto than a lot of phones hitting the market today, we never felt like it was too big to use. Windows 7.Five (Mango) is a beautiful Operating System, and while using it we never hit an error or lag when moving inbetween apps. Admittedly, it would be hard to transition to from an Android or iOS device with the lack of apps, but if you were taking your very first steps away from a BlackBerry or feature phone, the Lumia nine hundred and Windows Phone in general, would be a superb place to begin.
The battery life was awesome, having just made it through the day without charging it while testing it extensively, it should be no problem with normal use. The mail and messaging applications are effortless to use, and concisely demonstrate your messages. It was indeed effortless to transition from Facebook talk, to text messaging, to Windows Live Messenger without skipping a hit.
The camera software was intuitive, and the Carl Zeiss hardware fantastic. The only complaint we (and every other reviewer on the Internet evidently) had was that the actual picture files seem to come out with slightly different colors than how they looked when being taken.
Long story, the Nokia hardware is good, the Windows Mango OS is good, and if Microsoft can get the droves of developers that some of the other platforms have brought to the table on board, then maybe there indeed can be a third competitor in the Smartphone arena.
Nokia Windows Phones to hit UK & Europe very first
Yep, you read it right, the very first Nokia Windows Phones are set to hit the UK and Europe very first, according to a Dutch executive over at the Finnish rock hard Nokia. The fresh phones along with the fresh operating system is set to be spinned out towards the end of this year, spelling the begin of the Nokia/Microsoft reign as smartphone associates.
Along with the UK, the likes of Germany, Spain, Italy and Netherlands will be on Nokia’s hit list very first, according to a statement made from Nokia Europe vice president to the Dutch website All About Phones. It shows up Nokia are gambling all that they have and all that they are on Microsoft’s Windows Phone software, which has also caused Nokia to embark to discontinue development on its own Symbian and MeeGo operating systems – with that said, Nokia promised to keep the Symbian software updated for years to come.
There has been much scepticism across the globe from Microsoft and Nokia fans alike as to whether this partnership would ever work – some believing it’s going to work out for the smartphone ecosystem yet others believing the entire partnership is flawed and some even believing this is the commence of the end of both companies in the smartphone market.
Elop has been doing his rounds on the conference circuit lately bigging up the Windows Phone operating system to anyone and everyone. He says the platform offers much more vision for Nokia to separate itself from other mobile phone manufacturers out there, who are developing and releasing one Android phone after another like its out of style.
The Windows Phone does, however, suggest an alternative for people who aren’t fans of Android or Apple’s iOS, who are the superior force in the market at the moment. The Windows Phone interface is charming and elegant with a tile-based interface that has been received exceptionally well and will be part of the basis for the fresh and upcoming Windows eight PC software – tho’ let’s just hope the Windows Phone becomes more of a superior force as its desktop counter-part is – at least for the sake of the smartphone ecosystem.
When release, will you be divulging yourself with a Nokia Windows Phone smartphone, or will you stick with your attempted and trusted Blackberry, iOS or Android mobile phone? I personally will certainly see what it has to suggest, something I hope will be more than each manufacturer and provider have on their own.
