Nokia's Lumia 900 Now On Sale in the UK
Phone arrives four days early.
Looks like Windows Phone fans in the United Kingdom are finally in luck: The Nokia Lumia 900 has officially landed in the UK. At least, retailer Phones 4u has a shipment and is selling the phone from today.
Last we heard, Nokia had been forced to delay the UK launch of the Lumia 900 because it couldn't keep up with demand for the phone in the United States. Though Nokia insisted that it was still on track to deliver the phone in the second quarter of 2012, retailer Phones 4u adjusted its shipping date from April 27 to May 14. Despite the fact that we're still a few days away from that amended date, it seems the phone has arrived a few days earlier than Phones 4u anticipated.
Engadget reports that Phones 4u got in touch to let the site know that the Lumia 900 had arrived early and would start selling to customers today instead of next Monday. Pop on over to Phones 4u to check out pricing and tariffs for the different carriers that will be supporting the Lumia 900.
The Lumia 900 is similar to the Lumia 710 and Lumia 800 in appearance but is packing a bit more of a punch under the hood. It boasts a single-core 1.4GHz Snapdragon CPU, a 4.3-inch ClearBlack AMOLED 800 x 480 touchscreen display, 512MB RAM, an 8-megapixel (F2.2, 28mm) camera in the rear with Carl Zeiss optics, and a 1840mAH battery. It's also got support for 4G LTE in the U.S.

How has your family member liked it? I assume by your comments, you or someone you know has one of the earlier versions. How have they been?
cool story bro
Other than that the phone is great, the screen is especially good despite the low resolution.
I'm hoping the next gen devices by Nokia resolve some of these issues such as the low resolution and be unlocked!
Instead I bought a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I'm disgustingly happy with my choice.
That no USB thing is not an Android feature, but the particular phone's feature. My Android also requires me to use a cable until I rooted it and used 3rd party software.
I have 3 Android phones and all 3 connect out of the box to any PC via the microUSB cable.
I do think I misread what you were talking about, that said, I still had to install software on my PC for those features. Perhaps they felt that they would force you to download software if you use it as a way to avoid bloat?
She likes it well enough. But there have been connectivity issues and these have been well publicized. Battery life isn't great as well. The OS itself is pretty stable and innovative, but many of the apps are absolute garbage (like the AIM clients). Apps are 1/2 of the experience after all and they just aren't there yet.
Out of the current AT&T phones, the Samsung Mango phones are on par, the HTC Titan is the best but overly expensive in my opinion.
My guess is that you never had Nokia phone before, right? It's Nokia thing, I would be very surprised that it doesn't require pesky Nokia Suite. By the way, whether it's unlocked or not is problem of phone carrier not Nokia.
