A person who buys a iPhone according to your description looks at the sign and can't tell 1GB > 512MB or 41MP > 5MP and you then plea for Nokia to use their brains.....

To all the people out there talking about design and same looking devices ... heres a small challenge, visit this page .. http://www.gsmarena.com/sony-phones-7.php
and name any 5 phones without even looking at the names .... u will ge a special prize from me :P
Atleast i can easily name nokia phones without even looking at their names. They are not exactly same devices as is the case with sony. some have curved edges, some have straight edges, some differ in front design.
Dont just mention same design if u guys have vision problems, better consult an eye doctor and get well soon guys.

In my guess lumia 720 shud be priced close to 15-18K in india.
Looks like a stealer, good design and finally they are making slim phones :)

If they created 1 amazing phone, and marketed the hell out of it, they might stand a chance against Samsung and Apple.

They honestly cant afford a diluted product range. They are already battling with production of the 920 - not because of high demand, but because they don't have enough factories to build them.

Samsung on the other hand can afford a massive product line because the revenue from their other appliiances can subsidize it.

Instead Nokia should spend their money on marketing. I live in New Zealand which should be a prime environment for Nokia, but I have not seen a single Lumia TV commercial. There were briefly some billboards for the Lumia 800/900, but thats it.

No one buys Lumia because they dont know its an option. The people on this forum know about Lumia because we are big fans.

BTW - I have a Nokia N9. I was considering one of the Lumia's but Im unsure.

Currently using Lumia 710. Next phone will be definetly Lumia 720/820. Very impressed by the UI smoothness. Have been using all of the current platforms and noone comes as near as WP as far as it goes for to UI. Nokia fanboy since the launch of the N73 :P

You do realize that last 3 iPhones look all similar, last hundreds of Galaxy smartphones from Samsung look all similar and people still don't complain about them. Instead, it just works. Design language is a identity of brand and Nokia have set it very nicely now. Lumia can be recognized from a distance and so distinct that could be separated from a crowded market of lame design phones.

I dont understand why Nokia continues to make phones that are almost identical to each other. The Lumia, 820, 720, and 520 all look so similar that consumers wont know the difference. They're just watering down their product line.

Often first time buyers wont know or even care about the specs under the hood. Most people who own an iPhone have no idea how many MP the camera is, or how much RAM is onboard, or whether its a TFT or AMOLED screen. All they know is that its an iPhone and its the "best" smartphone you can buy. Use ur brain Nokia.
