Way i see it is some like it fast, some slower.
The right way to do it is to have an option for it.
Set scroll speed FTW!

I respect your opinion, but for me personally, the slow scroll speed is absolutely a deal breaker. My Arrive smoked the 900 I played with. I would probably get used to the slower speed after a while, but I think I'll wait for Apollo phones now. I do hope the 900 sells like gangbusters...after all, we're all the same team here
@Mochi the Arrive may be a different story, but I know for a fact that this is the case on the HD7(S). Also, I still bet a Samsung handset would "smoke" your Arrive.
And your point is what? That the Arrive and Samsung phones are faster than the Lumia 900? And that users of those devices are used to a certain level of responsiveness and don't want to step back to a slower device on a platform that constantly advertises how quick it is?
I didn't know performance was measured in how "fast" you could scroll from the top to the bottom of a list of icons or posts. (Hate when reviewers do that mindless up/down flicking.) I thought it was measured in how "quickly" you could find something while scrolling.

one is not SLOWER than the other. Don't go around using that term as it will only mislead the people. Nokia uses a different feature. My HTC Titan and my HD7 before that were the same as the Lumia 900.
@PhilR8 still isn't getting it. I don't know how much more clear I can make it. Let me try to explain it using this hypothetical example:
If you take take your finger and place it at the bottom of a Samsung handset, and you swipe your finger up and release your finger at 10mph, the screen will scroll down at a speed of 7mph.
If you take take your finger and place it at the bottom of a Nokia/HTC handset, and you swipe your finger up and release your finger at 10mph, the screen will scroll down at a speed of 4mph.
This is how it was designed by each respective manufacturer.
What's the same among all manufacturers is this:
If you place your finger on the screen, and move your finger up and down at a speed of 10mph and do not remove your finger, the screen will scroll up and down at a speed of 10mph. If this was not the case, and only the 900 did not stay at 10mph in this case, this would be lag.
Honestly, all this discussion about "lag", or as it was corrected, scroll speed, is just nitpicking, nothing else.
In real world usage, you won't notice it at all, it'll feel just as fast as every other Windows Phone...
I just played with one at an AT&T store and did not notice any "lag" or scroll speed issues. I guess I just like the speed at which the phone scrolls. It doesn't feel that different from my Focus Flash. It is slower scrolling then the Focus Flash...but not that much.The scroll speed has nothing to do with the speed of the device. I can set the mouse speed on my i5 PC to turtle speed and that doesn't mean the PC is slow.
I played with the Lumia 900...it's not the device per se...it's basically for every inch your finger moves, the menu moves less than on your Samsung device. It has nothing to do with LAG or a SLOW DEVICE. It's just a preset scroll speed.
Actually technically it is "lag" as the screen response to movements is delayed. I noticed this on my Lumia 900 having come from a Lumia 800. The difference, the 800 responds without any visible delay. On the Lumia 900, it is very obvious that touch input is delayed.
The touch response on the 900 isn't on the same level as the 800(vastly superior to most phones on the market), which is possibly due to the larger screen. Taking more then 2 swipes to move down the start screen isn't really acceptable in my opinion. It could very well be adjusted with an update in the future, but for now, I've returned my L900 and will stick with the L800.
There's a great bit from Microsoft Research on touch input delay and how it affects the user experience:
