[b] The Nokia Lumia 900: Better than the iPhone?[/b]



[b] A sleek new smartphone from Microsoft and Nokia is drawing raves, and (watch out, skeptics) some tech junkies say Apple has finally met a worthy match[/b]

When Nokia unveiled the Lumia 900 smartphone at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, techies let out a collective squeal. It's the first high-end Windows Phone for the U.S. market, and the product of a partnership between two determined tech titans — Nokia and Microsoft — who were key players in the mobile market until Apple and Android overshadowed them. The Lumia runs on Microsoft's Mango operating system, a wholly unique platform that features large dynamic tiles rather than the the tiny app icons of Android and iOS (take a visual tour [url="http://www.nokia.com/us-en/products/phone/lumia900/"]here[/url]). Will Microsoft and Nokia finally be able to compete?[/size][/font][font=Georgia,][size=4]
[b]Yes. This phone rocks:[/b] I've already tried the Lumia 800 — the Lumia 900's little brother, which is popular in Europe — and found it to be "the nicest phone I've ever used," [url="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/01/10/nokia-lumia-900-boast-sleeker-more-modern-design-than-apple-iphone.html"]says Dan Lyons at[i] The Daily Beast[/i][/url]. "It makes the iPhone seem old and outdated, and makes Android phones seem big and clunky." The Lumia 900 improves on the 800 with a slightly bigger screen and the "same sleek European modernist design feel." Microsoft and Nokia have the goods to compete with the iPhone and top-of-the-line Androids.

[b]And everybody likes an underdog:[/b] "In mobile, Microsoft has become the beloved underdog of the tech press," and together with the "beleaguered" Nokia, it's "created something that actually looks good,"[url="http://techland.time.com/2012/01/10/how-nokias-lumia-900-windows-phone-won-ces-before-it-even-started/"]says Jared Newman at [i]TIME[/i][/url]. This could be "the ultimate comeback story." While competitors produce predictable updates to existing models, Nokia and Microsoft have a phone that separates itself from the pack with striking looks and a unique operating system. Microsoft and Nokia also have a compelling narrative for the media to jump on. That could go a long way in getting the Lumia the attention it needs.

[b]But under the hood, it's underwhelming: [/b]The Lumia 900, iPhone 4S, and Galaxy Nexus are all "gorgeous" phones, [url="http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/lumia-900-vs-iphone-4s-vs-galaxy-nexus-specs-showdown-20120110/"]says Will Shanklin at[i]Geek.com[/i][/url]. But the Lumia's screen resolution is inferior to the iPhone's. When it comes to storage and processing power (not to mention weight), the iPhone and Galaxy also have a slight edge.[/size][/font][font=Georgia,][size=4]
