So...what's the general consensus?

Yes, i would still recommend it. I had the data drop out for the first time today, but it came back after a soft reset. The camera is more than adequate for me, and I believe it can be made somewhat better with software. I have seen some really good photos taken with the Lumia 800, and (I think) that has had at least one patch to address some camera issues. But, if I were you, I would also check out the Titan II. It depends on what is more important to you. I prefer the screen, design, and exclusive apps on the Lumia 900, but the Titan II has the bigger screen and better camera.

love the phone hate the camera

Pretty much sums it up for me.

I love the phone and find that the camera is completely adequate if you make a habit of auto-fixing every photo you take indoors. I have actually started to ignore my iPhone and found it just a few hours ago sitting, all alone and unwanted, in a compartment in my bag. Poor, poor unloved iPhone. The Lumia just does it all for me now.

My main issue is the reception is worse than my iPhone 4. There is fairly poor signal inside my building at work. But my iPhone 4 rarely totally lost it and the Lumia is losing it frequently. Coupled with wifi that turns off when the phone locks means I don't get any data randomly at times at work now.

Also battery life doesn't seem very good. I have barely done any use on it today and it's already at 37% remaining. Which I assume is because when it loses signal it keeps searching and it's draining my battery.

i would 100% suggest it to people, lag free os, new and refreshing design (of software and hardware)

even if they're super wanting something else, i'd at least ask them to try it out in a store.

personally i'm extremely happy with mine, although i'm hoping they can tweak the camera a bit with firmware and also make the hspa/lte handoffs a bit better too.
