Hi all, I had made my mine up and was going to buy LG Optimus 7 for about €200 but now I think I should hang on and wait for the Nokia Lumia 710 (I guest it will be about 300). Guys and Girls what would you do in my position is Lumia 710 worth 100 euros more?
Well, If you use navigation Nokia's wins hands down. It also has a front facing camera which would eventually be used by Skype I hope. It also has a faster processor, which might mean it has a longer life, updates-wise. Deffo worth the extra 100.

Hi,
I am in big dilemma whether to buy WP7 or not.
Huge fan of Nokia and Microsoft.
My last mobile N8 is dead month back (motherboard ditched me)
I have enough money to pick any mobile.
1. Nokia lumia 800 - 29K INR - which i believe is priced too heavy in India where i can get Galaxy S2 for just 27K
2. Samusng Omnia W - 20K INR - with the same specifications of 800 but with 5MP cam and 8Gb space
3. Nexus Prime - though android phone, based on ICS reviews, making me to get it. might cost - 32-35K and release date Jan end
4. Nokia lumia 710 - 20K INR - same as omnia W
5. HTC Radar - 22K INR
At the same time, there are rumors that Apollo is coming with dual core processor support and lot more features in Mid of 2012
by that time these wp phones will be too older to support apollo?
Which one should i go for?
Remember I mainly use my mobile for Music, heavy messaging and calls.
I heard Music quality n Lumia phones is just OK. I used to listen in my N8, which is far more better in music (excellent boss) by any other phones which i testesd
1. I am in India, i don't need video calls at all.
2. Omina W is 20K and Lumia is 30k (nokia why this much price)
3. By next year end, Apollo comes out, looking to get new phone or may be I can throw extra money now to get a phone that might run Apollo
what about the titan?
Get HTC Titan?
Titan is not available yet in my country. I believe it goes to 32K comparing to price HTC Radar is having now. I am not going to put lots of money if it's worth getting a new phone after Mid 2012 or by next year end.
I have HTC Mozart and am getting Omnia W which is reasonably priced has amoled screen and GPU is great Nokia is overpriced for me

Hey Dude... M also from Hyderabad.....
Me gonna order Omina W then... Nokia really lost it's mind while pricing the Lumia mobiles. 23-24K would have been the niche price.
I am looking to get an unlocked Windows Phone, so I need a suggestion on which one and where.
Price - around $350 USD
Form Factor - full touchscreen 4" or less
Camera - I want good camera optics. MP does not matter, just quality
Nothing else really matters (internal storage). AMOLED is nice and a FFC would be cool but not necessary.
The HTC Radar seems to be in my price range. Is this a good option? Best place to buy?
I recommend the Samsung Omnia W (known as Samsung Focus Flash in the US).
It has a faster processor than the HTC Radar.
Don't get htc hd7

The problem is the price. Only available place I am seeing is ebay for $450 USD. For that price I would just spend the extra money and get the Lumia 800. The Focus Flash I am seeing for $300 but I am assuming they are going to be locked to ATT. Easy to get them unlocked?
I wouldn't mind the Focus Flash.

Well, in that case, you should buy the HTC Radar.
My friend has the Radar and she's happy with it.
I have the Samsung Omnia7 and am preaty happy with it.
Just today I managed to get wifi data tethering working. Which I think is a nice feature to have
What's with the HTC 7 Trophy ?

I have the Trophy, and it works for me, its has no ffc, the glass isnt the most durable one i had in terms of scratch resistance, the battery lasts about two days with wifi and data connection on.. i think the teethering option might be unavailable to some updates tho, not sure on that one..
Thinking of changing my Lumia 800 to some newer windows phone , but I cannot see any other newer windows phone other than Lumia 900 and Titan II. Is there any other newer windows phone on the way? otherwise which one is better among Lumia 900 and Titan II?
cheers....
The Lumia 900 is to be honest a nice phone but lacks the charm of the slightly smaller 800 with its curved glass etc, Screen size is great @ 4.3" and displays as nicely as the 800, It is of course heavier and have noticed slight lag once in a while on main screens whilst scrolling, This never occured on the 800, I am awaiting a Titan 2 so if it turns up soon will update as to whether its as good as the lumia 900 or not, Both have FFC which I missed on the 800 and the Titan has a slightly larger screen @ 4.7" but SLCD compared to Lumias AMOLED, The 900 came pre-installed with Tango 8773 update but tbh haven't noticed much of a difference as yet, All it really boils down to is do you prefer the square sharp angular edges of the Lumia or rounded almost boring looking HTC which all look alike, Performance wise there probably wont be much difference.
Thanks and I'll also wait for Titan 2 as well. cheers...
I've upgraded at Phones4U and got free Lumia 900 black. good deal
I was going to buy a windows phone from att but i was wondering which was the best (i was stuck between nokia lumia 900 or htc titan II possibly it is neither)
As far as announced phones go I'd say the Lumia 900... but that's if you are limiting yourself to WP& and aren't going to wait to see what comes out this fall, like possibly a WP8/Apollo device.
Nokia 900
Although i like my Titan 1, i would give my left nut for a Nokia 900.
Nokia is a whole different build quality that can't be compared and the clear black tech will be sweet.
I have and oportunity to exchange my HTC 7 Trophy for a Nokia Lumia 800 plus 45€.
I still have 13 months guarantee for my trophy, but the Nokia doesn't have any, but it is in very good shape.
My question is, should i do the exchange? Is it worth it?
The first-gen phones, like the Trophy, are currently much more hack-able. If you want to do things like custom ROMs or high-privilege apps, you should currently stick with the HTC phone (hopefully we'll have support for Nokia soon, but it hasn't happened yet).
On the other hand, the Lumia 800 is a much nicer phone in most other ways - better CPU, supports more bands and (I believe) higher data rates if available, may have more internal storage, certainly has a better camera (and a front-facing camera, nice for Skype and such). If you just want the best WP7 device, trading up to the Lumia (which is a more expensive device to begin with) and getting an extra 45 Euros is a great deal.
Hi all,
Im thinking on buying a new phone. Currently an android user.Just send back my HTC One phone for camera repair. But now looking for a fresh new substitute. Fall in love with 1020, but 1520 offer a faster(fastest wp8) spec. But sadly why 20mp? and 1020 why dual core?hehehe...thats make my decision harder.
For your opinion, is 1020 with dual core suffice?
Thanks
The 1020 is very fast.windows doesn't need to be quad core like android.

The Main thing is really the Hardware here
Lumia 1520 comes with the latest hardware so you can be a bit sure of future updates making full use of its hardware capabilities and the bigger battery life and screen.
Lumia 1020 has the better camera as you can play with more mega pixels. easier to carry and has the battery grip for mounting on tripod.
Its really down to choice.. windows phone don't need high specs to run smoothly,
