Hello everyone!
I am a very happy and proud owner of a BlackBerry Bold 9780, but I am always fascinated by other platforms and am constantly playing around with phones in stores. My contract is nowhere near being over (I still have less than 2 years with Rogers until I can upgrade), but I am still considering my next device and perhaps upgrading in half that time - maybe a year or so. I've been considering a Samsung Galaxy S2, but the phone that I have researched and have tried out in stores the most has been the Nokia Lumia 900.
Since I know that many of the users who post here are Nokia Lumia 900 owners, I would like to know the benefits of using this phone. I've watched YouTube unboxing and reviews and even an in-depth review of the phone; and have tried it out myself in stores (but there's only so much you can do with a phone that's wired into the table or one that's turned off).
I understand that this is not a BlackBerry forum, but I'm a little worried that the Lumia might not match up with my experiences with BlackBerry. For instance, I love my LED light and how I can customize ringtones for certain contacts when they call or text me. Can the 900 perform these functions? I'm quite sure there is no LED light, but I could be wrong. I have a keyboard on my phone so transferring over to touchscreen might be hard, but I'm assuming that it would be just an adjustment process and not a huge concern. This phone does have landscape mode, correct? How customizeable are the phone's sound profiles? Could I make my own profiles (different sounds for calls, texts, and emails) as I can with my BlackBerry? I'm assuming I can still transfer my SIM card to the Lumia and have my contacts displayed and pictures; but I'm assuming my texts would be gone.
However, I love the "People" hub that the Lumia has, its sleek design, and the camera in my opinion is awesome. I like how I can sync my Hotmail account to it as I can with my BlackBerry, and I know I can get similar browsing experiences and can probably learn how the phone works if and when I do decide to get one. I suppose that I would just like some general comments about how the phone is for day-to-day use, and if anyone can answer those other questions, I would truly appreciate it! I really love my BlackBerry, so if I were to choose an upgrade that wasn't a BlackBerry, I'd prefer to know as much about it as possible. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this topic!
