Agreed the 800 is slightly flawed, the N9 is still a better option “overall”.
To me the 900 is still only a incremental improvement, not enough to switch permanently from my N9.
I’ll be expecting MUCH more, & it better not be out later than October.
Otherwise my eyes may have wandered to Android, iOS, or maybe even BBX.

Oh I agree – I can’t really believe (but it is Nokia AND MS homes of the unbelievable) that they’re going to drop the ball. As we said we shall know more tonight.

I agree that if they just dump current Lumia owners without any major update, the shitstorm that will follow will be deserved and possibly devastating.

What I don’t agree with is that we have yet seen proof of that actually happening. They might come up with an acceptable solution. Tonight we are hopefully wiser, one way or the other.

Coincidence or delicious irony.

Nokia releases q2 results on July 19.
Microsoft releases q2 results on July 19.

Aaahhh again I see.

Yes people do care and it IS an issue for the Lumia 900 costing GBP499 (for the reasons I’ve expounded with you before) much less so for me and my GBP99 Lumia 710 (can’t get it at that anymore hee hee – can’t get it at all at Voda and CPW come to that) obviously I’d like an update but I have little right to expect one at that price point. Whereas at the GBP 400-450+ price point there is a right to expect that device to be kept at forefront for first year of ownership and current with mid market and for second year of likely two year contract. WP is a very iOS-like walled/hand holding platform, this is the standard Apple have set with iOS and this is what customers expect and WP needs to be equal or very close to to keep the desperately needed momentum for Nokia’s survival this year.

If they ditch all the purchasers of current Lumia into the hardshoulder the PR shitstorm will cripple future LUmia sales and ownership uptake. At a time where to put it mildly that is the last thing Nokia or WP need.

Yeah though for me, the curved glass adds more style or should I say finesse. Either way, it’s still a gorgeous looking phone.
