My new Lumia 900 is in the house.

Hah! that's funny. Well that is good, quite a relief. How is the screen smoothness, fingerprints, and feel in the pocket (jeans)?

The screen feels great but its collects fingerprints. I wouldn't say it was an issue, especially since I put a screen protector on it day one. It feels heavy in the pocket because its not a light phone. Its not bulky but it is heavy.

Did the screen protector do the trick?
Yeah that's what I figured, it really is quite heavy, I got a feel of it for a few minutes. I'm debating Focus S or Lumia 900 and they are on two ends of the spectrum when it comes to weight.

The focus s is a nice phone and either way you go you should be happy. Its my own preference to pick the nokia over any phone in any market. I like the build, the look, the quality, and the one piece design.

Yeah I'm looking at Nokia because of apps, LTE, and support even though I like the Focus S design and build more (lighter thinner friendlier)

Looks like swype and a few other applications are on the way. Either that or Nokia is false advertising.

The Lumia 900 look incredible and sounds incredible to boot , where is the best to find apps for this device?

When you buy a nokia there will be a place in the market with just nokia apps.

Those are probably Symbian apps actually.

Thats what I was thinking but they are on the lumia 900 advert. Im hoping Nokia is porting all of them over. I just don't see swype making the jump.

there should be a nokia section in the same way that samsung and HTC have their own sections in the market.

i had a focus s, but nokia's apps and the general design are what's getting me to switch.

the focus s is a great device in its own respect, but nokia is far more comitted to wp7 and have made far more and far more useful apps for their devices.

Just had to update and say the battery on this phone is phenomenal. The screen is extremely clear and has the most accurate color representation that I have ever seen. I got use to the weight and it feels amazing now. This phone is going to sell and put Nokia on the north American cellphone map.

Which screen protector did you use? Did you notice it interfering with the screen look at all? And does it feel similar to bare glass?

I just used a regular screen protector from amazon. I don't know the name but it feels fine. I am not using a case because I ordered the Qubit one and it made the phone to bulky for me. So I am going naked with a zagg full body protector. I actually like the way zagg feels and its pretty tough.

There is a very annoying delay from the time you push the picture button to when the picture is actually taken.

Definitely have to do this. Draining to zero and recharging to full condition the battery

Actually with the new lithium ion battery technology you don't get the memory effect. Instead, you get a finite number of power cycles before degradation starts. Charging your battery before it dies will help preserve your battery. Partial charges, (IE taking it off the charger before it's full) while less practical, is also beneficial.

Wow, I thought the 900 was supposed to take really quick pictures?

Try it in a store, I am not satisfied with it.

It's a two step shutter release. First press halfway to get the focus, reframe if needed and then press all the way to take the actual picture.
