"The only things I see that really differentiate these two phones are the fact that the Lumia runs on "true" 4G LTE, and that it, um, comes in blue. Am I missing a reason why this phone is THAT big a leap forward, aside from strictly in the marketing sense? "Just had a thought regarding all the hype and press that's getting thrown at the Nokia Lumia 900. Now, don't get me wrong...the Lumia looks like a seriously cool device and you have to give Nokia credit for throwing all of its resources behind both the Lumia line and WP7.
However, as Focus S owners, don't you feel a little bit like "well, I've had an almost identical device in my pocket for months now?" Let's break it down...
-4.3 inch AMOLED display with near endlessly deep blacks and Gorilla Glass: check.
-1.4 GHz processor: check.
-8 MP rear facing and 1MP+ front facing cameras: check.
-16 GB internal memory: check.
-Huge, long-lasting battery: check.
-Modern, sophisticated design: check.
-Up-to-date Mango OS: check.
-Manufacturer software suite: check.

Its LTE. THATS the big deal. No one aside from ANdroid has had LTE devices and that hasnt given the consumer any choice whatsoever. SO in walks Nokia, who hasnt really released a successful smartphone inthe STates, and they launch a unique design, a fully capable full fledged smartphone and its LTE!! Thats why the public is going nuts over em(selling out)...its basically our device, true, and honestly, If samsung pushed the Focus S this hard, we might have had alot of adopters for it too, but they didnt. Is it just me or do any of you feel almost ELITE for the choice we made? I absolutely love my Focus S and even though I have been eyeing that Cyan model, I just decided to purchase a similar colored hard plastic case for it and now, I couldnt be happier. It added just enough weight to feel more substaintial in my hands, and it gave it a peppy new look that is exactly what I needed. In fact, Ive had the phone since November but afetr I put the blue case on, I have several people asking me if I got a new phone!! Its a bit mroe baby blue than Cyan but it matches the tiles enough to make me really like it. I hated all the rubberized cases because they are dust magnets and i didnt like the case mates because they dont wrap around the front of the phone. Enter random case while Im cruising on Amazon and now I feel I found the right one for me. (finally!) It feels like i could chuck it against a wall and it would still be in one piece!!
So thats all it is, cool colors, new design and LTE. We have a top off the line WP so no need to upgrade IMO. Ill wait to see what Sammy has up its sleeves for aplollo
