@NewTeKnologyInfo O WHAT?! I just noticed that you upload official CNET videos?! So you work for CNET? For what I know, CNET is an objective technology news site, and it says here on wikipedia:
"CNET is a tech media website that publishes news articles, blogs, and podcasts on technology and consumer electronics." I didn't know that you were an Apple-fansite.. You, as a tech media website, should be objective at bringing tech news. Now u c y we say that you are "pro-apple"

i think the gps is a nice touch, most gps apps cost and dont deliver and some gps devices can cost about half the price of this phone so its a good addition

[ElSeniorQueso]

can you show how the phone reacts to calls and messages (if the LED light on the back flashes to show you have an unread message for example)

[ToniVuksa]

...sponsored by Apple. Cnet is a very objective reviewer.

Am I be able to remove several boxes on the home screen of Nokia Lumia 900? Am I be able to set a picture of myself or my family as a background? I want to know about that before I buying it.

what the difference between this and the 800c?

[AndehX]

@NewTeKnologyInfo incorrect. Apple's iOS is inferior to Android and WP7, simply because of the way Apple police their app store. WP7 is currently set to be the best mobile platform in 2012

[asnaeram]

800c is for China. Just 800 with Chinese local language support and some minor differences. Otherwise it's pretty much the same.

bro im in indonesia. how to get nokia lumia 610

[AndehX]

@toni24594 and for that reason alone, CNET's opinion of everything is automatically invalid.

[gamfreak]

is she reading from the back of the box?

[ToniVuksa]

@NewTeKnologyInfo Well every man has his liberty of choosing the best for him. For me, it's android for mobile and Win for PC.
"with tons of malware and a bunch of pre-installed apps." Tons of malware- I'm not a regular nooby user who can be tricked easily so IDC. Bunch of pre-installed apps(like there aren't any on the iPhones, duh). Guess what! You can delete them easily on android devices, you can't do that on your iOS products, Android is open, you can do whatever you want.

God knows why people mark as spam perfectly fine comments only because they show the sad truth about WP7.. that is that it sucks for several reasons (see above comment)..

[leroyrs]

only 40000 apps...OMG what a desaster :)

WP7 is really easy to use. It is much more easier for beginners to handle WP7 instead of the 7 Android screens. OK, the fact with the mass store I am going with you, But the closed WP7 system is more secure.

[DanHammonds]

Not so much a review as it is a list of technical specs.

[matteomorato]

Well.. then buy it and then express your rage around like I do after buying a shitty Lumia.. So far people haven't been enthusiastic for good reasons

[tomzz]

@NewTeKnologyInfo Better my ass...lol

Apple products have been slipping big time, they are no longer "Innovative", and now that Steve Jobs is gone, I expect Apple to go further down hill.

[GreenLeafGecko]

this and nokia that, nokia and yeah! Nokia too

[AndehX]

@toni24594 which is primarily the reason why Android is superior to iOS, and always will be.

[matteomorato]

don't buy it.. wp7 phone doesn't charge if it is off, it has no memory upgrade thourh sd but only shitty cloud storage, tethering is flaky and only connects to Windows PC's, updates for future versions are not given... ah and there's no way to program it under iOS or Linux, only plain windows! whats worth buying it?!?
