Ok, I used to be an Android fan, but I decided that my old Samsung Galaxy S was getting on in the years and needed an upgrade. First, I went into the AT&T store thinking I was going to walk out with a Samsung Note, but after looking and playing with the Nokia I had a change of heart. It helped that the store manager told me that the phone was completely free. Well, except the $34 upgrade fee. So I said what could I loose and took the plunge.
My first impressions of the Lumi was great. The asthetics of the phone are in another class from it's competition. It really feels/look great. I really liked the size of the phone, screen and the weight of the phone itself. The screen is comparable, if not better, than my old GS AMOLED screen and it just plain looks awesome! The phone is very responsive and I haven't had any lag at all. The phone is VERY fast, whether it's on 4G or LTE. For some reason the Lumi isn't all the fast on wifi, but that could be due to the cable company or possibly the router. Call quality is outstanding and the speaker is more than adequate even for those who might be deaf. As you might already have guessed I like this phone overall, but there are some caveats.
First, I'm used to Android and the ability to adjust pretty much everything to my taste and although the Lumi allows a some adjustability it is nowhere near what an Android phone can do. So that has been a bit frustrating. Second, I've noticed that the lack of good QUALITY apps is quite severe. I know Win OS is still new compared to Apple & Android, but it's to a point that it's frustrating. I can hardly find apps that I've been accustomed to and forget trying to find any decent apps for free. On the flip side, the fact that Microsoft watches over their OS like nazi's makes for a stable OS even with the few apps I've downloaded. No instability and crashing like the apps on Android.
Overall, thumbs up for the Lumi!
