Just with regards to the mass storage issue. People seem to forget these handsets come with 25gb of online storage with skydrive, which can be accessed any time anywhere- wireless. Why would you need to plug your phone in for that?

Not to be funny, but Nokia seems to be going backwards nice and fast...Correct way to go if you want a new beginning, LOL

Anonymous, 06 Dec 2011I have to agree with you.. having android sometimes is nice.. but when i tried this phone seve... morei fully agree with you. Today i saw the phone in a nokia priority and used it for a while. Loved it for its beauty and smoothness and features that it is providing. Planning to by this. Though i am using nokia n8 currently but still i will go for this one. Launcing in kolkata on 16th of this month and price 30000/- approx

I'm not impressed. Maybe for all those who want "smoothness" in a dummy-proof package it's a decent phone, but I'd rather use Symbian or Android for all the features and capabilities they offer. The lack of text reflow is inexcusable in this day, considering Symbian has had it for years. If Windows tries to imitate the iphone, I'll scratch them off my list.

With regard to audio quality, there are faulty devices. I replaced my first Lumia 800 which exhibited the flaw you saw in your test. The replacement unit is fine, fortunately.

Too sad that Nokia couldn't get the audio quality right with this one...
It appears that N8 will still remain the Music+Camera king, as far as details, megapixels & earphone audio quality is concerned..
What will this phone do in front of competition like Galaxy SII and iPhone 4S?...

I read the review, guys, and did not like it... GsmArena did not take int consideration the brand fame that Nokia has. I am sure that this phone will be a great hit. I will buy it too. Because i need a phone to make calls, make some basic photos, check my emails and have a battery that lasts long and do some basic stuff on the phone. And Nokia has the best call quality over there. Maybe the OS is not so good, but the reception on these units is fantastic! It has special microphone to ensure that the other person hears you, the design is solid and it won't break into a million pieces when you drop it down (every phone falls down at least once - think about that, Apple). It is a winner for me. I do not intend to do overclocking, programming or draw on my touchscreen - i need something that works, and this one seems a winner for me!

really no flash in browser?? come on out of all the things they couldn't put something simple like that in their phone. they are going down hill big time at least they can do is come out with a phone that can compete with the rest of the competition.. And they wonder why they lost half their shares hmmmmm i cant see them doing business for the next years to come

Contact sender is available in marketplace (free).
Syncing with cloud (the best at this moment) - very great. At last all my contacts are combined.
Rumors says tha Skype (MS owns it) will be integrated in OS. It is just a question of time.

I think it offers the smoothness (or maybe even better) of iOS but with more features, but yet not quite on par with android..
But still, if all OS have the same features, what differentiates them?
All of them have dis/advantages.. and for me, i think WP7 is quite amazing considering its age..
I am not inclined to iOS phone, yet i am not fully satisfied with my android phone, which is kinda laggy and 'heavy' sometimes.. and playing with the lumia for sometimes really makes me think that, 'hey, maybe android is for me to tool around and really pushing the phone to its limit in terms of customisation, but the lumia is great for my daily normal usage where i will just need that connectivity without having to think about customisation etc..' it's like the android for my wild side and the wp for my more serious side..
I don't really care what my android has that this phone doesn't..
Most of the time, i don't really use those.. i play around with my phone, but i will eventually come back to making phonecalls, smsing, checking emails and social networking.. and i think the lumia is more than enough for that..

Bailey, 05 Dec 2011As a person that used Android and has still got a warm spot for it i decided to take the plung... moreI have to agree with you.. having android sometimes is nice.. but when i tried this phone several days ago for quite a while.. well, i have to say it was kinda love at first sight.. beautiful design and smooth OS.. even my hardcore iPhone fan girlfriend said she might just get this instead.. and to be honest, it's more like an iOS, with its closed ecosystem.. but it was nice.. it was beautiful.. something that my android can't give me yet..
Yes, my android may be more customisable, has more features like mass storage and all that.. but, sometimes, i just want simplicity, something beautiful and smooth in this quite a mess world.. and i think it just gives me that..
And to be honest, i wish my android has some sort of syncing program that can take care of my photos and especially my musics.. cus i'm just too lazy to do them manually..
Yes, iTunes is a great way to manage them, and that's the ONLY thing i wish android can have, a management software, without being dependent on it like the iPhone..
But one thing that i would need to consider before getting this phone.. the front camera..
Living far from family, i really want to use this feature, and i am using it quite often right now.. yes, i am one of the few who actually use ffc for vid call and not for self portrait..
Oh, and maybe i would miss the mass storage, contact transfer and bluetooth..
But heck, i didn't even have color screen three years ago..
I think apart from its price and the ffc, it's a one beautiful phone that i just love to hold, the smoothness, the Metro, the curves.. i can't get that experience elsewhere yet..
Anyone can say what they want, but i still think that it's gorgeous..
