Yeah she was asking my opinion on it the other day whether she should get it or the 920.  she went with the 8x as far as I know though so Ill ask her what she thinks of it sometime.

Wow, the Lumia 900 was released less than 8 months ago, and already you've decided to replace it with a new 800$ phone?

In case you're the gold-shitting donkey from the Brothers Grimm tale, please come over to my place!

4 times the sales.... of what 4 overall in the beginning? I hate when PR firms use things like "n times" or "% increase"... I want raw numbers.

WinPhone was selling like real crap. After all, they were barely 1% of the entire market previously. So a "4 times" increase is what... 2% of the market? While I'm sure any uptick is good for the company and frankly their new commercials are really done well. But until I see them hitting 10% of the market... they are still dead.

I'm just waiting for Tmobil to get the Nokia one. I have the HTC Windows 7 one, and it's nice, but I think Nokia would be a little more reliable.

I know people love to hate him, but I think Balmer has some excellent incite and will lead Microsoft in a innovative way. They spend so much on research - and sometimes it can pay off.

While giving up much power, resolution and lag timing with the current version of Kinect, it seems to have been the smart decision to keep it on the 360 and not a whole new console. I just wish they had included the 2nd processor so it was a bit sharper - but it mostly works for what it is supposed to do. I played 'Happy Action Theatre' and 'I am Super' with the little nephews and they loved it.

1% OF THE WHOLE MARKET!!! It didnt' say they grew 4x of marketshare.... just selling 4x the number of phones. But that would not be directly equal to full market share.

great schooling.

3% makes sense. But if it takes them two more years to get to 10%? Then Nokia better broaden their OS choices with Android soon. I'd say they need to hit 10% in 2013 to be relevent or be considered a success to MS or any of its partners/carriers. Just my opinion, but with Apple and Android dominating so much, MS really needs to be aggressive to gain a foothold otherwise, I'd see carriers dropping them. Kinda why Verizon has only ever carried one WP and Verizon is the single largest market in US.... the single largest market overall.

I have 4 phones on my family plan.  My kids don't need a new phone or i can give him my 900.  cross upgrade for $99 for 920 is not bad.

i can also sell my 900 on ebay for around $300.
