Cool release party. IMO the cheers at the end sounded fake. Like they were edited in.

I wonder if Nokia and Microsoft are selling the Lumia 800/900 at a big loss to expand the Windows Phone userbase. Maybe Microsoft is trying to pull a console strategy by selling undercut hardware and hoping people will buy into the software and future hardware upgrades, like the Xbox. Unlike the Xbox, the hardware is definitely behind Android and iOS and the breadth of software is certainly still leagues behind, with Microsoft still funding a lot of app developers instead developers actually wanting to code for Windows Phone.

Microsoft has already blown a ton of money on advertisement for a lukewarm reception of Windows Phone, which is a year and a half old now. Their total phone sales are so miniscule that they are afraid to list official numbers at investor meetups. Nokia has also blown a ton of marketing money all over Europe for the Lumia 800. The sales don't seem that great for the amount of money poured into it. Same with the Lumia 900, all these marketing ploys, and the $99/$449 pricetag that seems to me they don't plan to make any profit at all. Microsoft hasn't recouped much of its losses. Nokia would seem to be following suit, throwing their money away as well.

How about making the phone genuinely better? There is absolutely nothing special about the Lumia 900 except it being a bigger version of the Lumia 800, which was released 5 months ago. The specs are a wash and the camera is mediocre. The only thing that sets it apart is the polycarbonate shell, and that was originally on the N9, which was released even earlier.

I hate when companies release asinine and conceited marketing campaigns, especially when they are DEAD LAST in the smartphone race. If all other phones have been beta phones until now, there better not be a SINGLE issue with the Lumia 900 when it gets released. Lord knows how many updates the Lumia 800 has to fix battery life. Did I mention it has a 3.7" screen with no front facing camera, in a chassis designed for a 3.9" buttonless phone called the N9? Talk about rushing crap to market, except it took them almost a year to do it. Like reusing a diaper for a smaller child, but taking so long it can't even be called "improvised" anymore.

The whole smoked by Windows Phone campaign ain't winning any fans either with its rigged competitions and false promises.

ONLY good thing about Nicki Minaj is her body.
ONLY good thing about this phone is it's body.
ONLY good thing about this video is UFC 145 - Jones vs. Evans getting all the free publicity.

Sorry, but the smartphone wars will not be won with music videos and pretty phone cases. Work on your lack of App support or suffer the same fate as WebOS and Black Berry.

I'm much more interested in UFC 145

recent report nokia lumnia is not doing well so all this marketing thing seems to fail to get people excited. apple and samsung dont have to do this kind of thing and yet they are doing very very well.
