I've been used to random compliments from friends, family, and strangers since switching to Lumia in 2011. My Lumia 800 and 920 inspired more than handful of comments (though my 1520 was beautiful, I mostly got "that's a huge phone"). But none have garnered more compliments than my Lumia 830.
Today was the fourth time a stranger said something about the phone. I was in line grabbing lunch when someone said "hey, that's a cool phone!" I just kinda laughed and said thanks. Then came the questions... "is that a case or the phone itself? Such an awesome design! I have an iPhone. Why'd you choose that one instead of the iPhone if you don't mind me asking? I don't know much about this stuff. Is that Android? (then they see my home screen). Oh, is that Windows? I heard those phones are pretty fast and have great cameras."
Answered all their questions. We must have talked about the phone for 10 minutes.
Til this day my funniest "compliment" story came in 2013, about a year into my owning the 920. This young woman (and her boyfriend) stopped at this mall bench I was sitting on to tell me my phone was cool. Asked if the phone was yellow or if it was a case. Then she said she had seen commercials about it and asked if the camera was really that great. She said she was sick of her "lame" iPhone and kept asking questions. About 3 minutes in, her boyfriend is just giving me this dirty look like "stop answering my girl's questions so thoroughly" lol. I think she noticed he was agitated for some reason and cut it short.
How often do you notice double-takes and stares at your phone? How often do you get compliments?
