If Nokia keeps being innovative on the hardware and that's gonna attract more users to it. The more of the users on Windows Phone, the more developers/apps there will be.

We as consumers are the winner as the market gets more competitive.

yes;hardware superb hardware beast..

OS? dnt thnk so..

They are also innovative when it comes to OS, too bad, they put to garbage all those home-brewed OS, such as meego and symbian.

Yes, Nokia's hardware is phenomenal and extremely innovative. A rare sight in today's saturated smartphone market. But the Operating System is many step backwards. It doesn't even keep the WiFi on when screen is off!! How else am I supposed to keep up with my email? Make sure I am using it??

You're talking about WP. That's another side of the story. Microsoft is the one developing it. But I have read that there's an app in WP that could override that feature and let your WiFi turned on even if screen is off. :)

if u mean for the processor, why should nokia put a dual core or what ever the specs ur talking about, if meego can run smoothly on the "STANDARD SPECS" ??
android is a heavy OS thats whay samsung and other anroid phone manufacturers were implementing dual core and quad core, so the android doesn't lag, and still it does!!

Lol I doubt you even have a Lumia 800, but a fanboy bashing

19. Eingild posted on 24 Sep 2012, 08:06 5

Definitely lying as almost all the significant apps found in android could also be found in WP, better yet, more intuitive alternatives.

24. TROLL (limited) 5 days ago posted on 24 Sep 2012, 08:17 4

And much expensive than iOs apps. Rip offs.

23. TROLL (limited) 5 days ago posted on 24 Sep 2012, 08:16 5

i totally agree it "Sucks" still way behind Android , and still restrictions.

26. PhoneArenaUser posted on 24 Sep 2012, 08:30 8

I don't think that WP is bad OS, I think that WP just need more time to evolve and it should become a really good OS.

31. Altair posted on 24 Sep 2012, 08:59 6

What are you talking about? WP8 already has 100000 apps. How many do you need?

35. StephenGalop posted on 24 Sep 2012, 10:47 2

TROLL needs 99999 fart apps :)

51. IHateApple posted on 26 Sep 2012, 12:35 1

Enough to beat Apple.

40. asseek posted on 24 Sep 2012, 11:34 1

u all talk about WP lacks apps, come on honestly how many apps u use per day??
besides wp is a new os give it the time that android took, and u'll see how many apps it will have

49. Reverence posted on 26 Sep 2012, 09:54 1

i mean good apps like asphalt 7 are not available in windows market!!
awe full

50. asseek posted on 26 Sep 2012, 10:06 0

i agree with u on this, since am obsessed with cars-related games, especially the Asphalt 7 and the NFS, they are the best games for cars

in my opinion we've got to give it extra time for developers to bring those amazing apps and games into windows phones

Don't know why people are thumbing down your comment. Must be the Nokia fans.... Galaxy S III works fine and is also sensitive with sharp objects, just not with a glove.

20. hung2900 posted on 24 Sep 2012, 08:08 0

Sadly your comment also got a thumb-down. Oh poor crazy fanboy.

36. StephenGalop posted on 24 Sep 2012, 10:48 0

Sadly your comment also got 10 thumb-down. Oh poor commenter :(

Yeah that works on any touch screen, but the metal has to be a really good conducter to work as smoothly as it does in the video. So its work like a science trick, than it actually being as sensitive as the nokia screen.It won't work with any knife you throw at it unlike the nokia screen. You can try with a knife right now and you can see the screen move but its not as accurate or responsive like the nokia in the video.(I just tried it, my knife was not as good a conductor as in the vid so it wasn't as accurate or responsive) Also the nokia screen works with non-conducting materials like plastic too, other touch screens can't.

ps if you hold the non-conducting plastic end the trick won't work, as the charge from your body can't travel through plastic/rubber.

BEST COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE, HANDS DOWN!

12. AliNSiddiqui posted on 24 Sep 2012, 07:48 2

It is a valid excuse not to buy the Lumia 900. The phone is heavier the the first phablet by Samsung, the Note. And that is like 5 inches with a way bigger battery.

17. jubbing posted on 24 Sep 2012, 07:54 2

We're talking about the 920 here not the 900 you noob.

15. MartyK posted on 24 Sep 2012, 07:53 3

I see someone is following the isheep mentality about Andy's fans;

It's not true we welcome ALL OS, cause that will force our Precious Google to add more to Android..hint "Google Now".

So welcome Window-phone-user..the more the merrier :)

Anyways, I can see how this screen touch sensitivity can come in handy, my question is this can the sensitivity be adjusted?

few years ago on window 6.XXXX there was a problem adjusting and keeping it on that level.

do you even know how windows phone unlocks?

27. iced_heroine posted on 24 Sep 2012, 08:33 0

45. iced_heroine posted on 24 Sep 2012, 20:53 0

yes please do elaborate... i like the way you bash nokia's features. even though deep inside you feel ashamed that your phone doesn't have this capability

37. -box- posted on 24 Sep 2012, 10:50 5

You can look it up, but Nokia Maps are consistently better. Google Maps does offer StreetView, which is neat, but Nokia offers CityLens, which partially offsets that disadvantage.
Try them both: maps.nokia.com and maps.google.com

44. SemperFiV12 posted on 24 Sep 2012, 18:19 3

Agreed, Nokia is known for their mapping. While, Google Maps is very resourceful, Nokia Maps is in another league.
