My new Lumia 900 is in the house.

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.

yea even though this is true , I still find the drain and refill actually helps. I know it shouldnt but it does lol. Plus the batterys finite amount of cycles will probably be in the high hundreds if not thousands and by then i will be on a new phone

Does the phone lag, or not. People are saying the phone lags and or is non responsive to touch. Any real life experiences are appreciated.

all the units I have played with had no lag at all. I can not dispute others experiences but i will say this I have 30 days. I will use those days wisely if the phone fails me ( which i dont believe it will )I will exchange it

It doesn't lag

@falconeight -- I played with the camera at the store and didn't find there to be much lag, except you have to remember the two-stage button. Have you found any delay if you press the button partway to focus and then all the way to take the picture? Thanks!

Ive been using it for 3 days and I find it to have a slow shutter speed. I did come from a galaxy nexus which had a almost instant shutter speed but crappy pics.

 

[JOHNGAETANO]

How slow is the shutter. I'm with you on the GNex, as it was instant. How are the pictures? I am hearing mixed reviews

Can you test whether you can stream audio to bluetooth while playing video (i.e., Netflix or Youtube)?

Did you know it had two stage camera button like asked previously? Granted i would think you do seeing you own 800.

I was quite amazed back in N8 days that people where not getting it in USA press. It's been the norm on SE, Nokia and Samsung phones that have camera button for years. Best being Engadget's review where he didn't know N8 had two stage camera button.
Myself don't even see a point of having camera button if it's not two stage.

Pictures are beautiful but trying to take action shots is a *****.

Yes it does stream with my bluetooth headset.

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.

The Nokia store is the app store for Symbian phones, no relation to the Marketplace.

then they need to remove it from the lumia web page.

Awesome, thank you!

Do any Windows Phones have swype?

No and unless they make it a separate messaging app, it is impossible with Mango.

I'm just curious, but how's it impossible?

you need more control over the OS than MS allows at this point...ie Swype replaces the stock keyboard.

i never liked the whole swype phenomenon im fast as F on a touch screen keyboard, like the tactile feel as well

The only people who actually want Swype are Android fans. I've been iPhone since 3G (and no smartphone before that) and I think Swype is terrible (when I've tried to use it on my mom's Android, before she ditched it forever and got an iPhone 4S).
