Nokia

Was looking at Engadget tonight and realized that they posted an article about the Nokia Lumia 900 phone. A more of a thought about it, more like an opinion of the device. As I am sitting hear reading the various comments that were posted, I thought about my experience with the phone. I do have to say that I am a fan of Microsoft. I don't know if I am considered a fanboy or not...but I can say that I have a lot of their products and use them everyday. There is something that Microsoft does about their products that makes me like them more and more. I can link everything that I have together (from Zune, to Xbox, to Windows laptops, etc.). It is really something that is amazing...but enough about getting off course. So the Nokia Lumia 900... It is amazing. It is the best device that I have ever had. I love Windows Mobile. The transitions are incredible and smooth. I know that the device isn't a super high end device (processor speed, screen display, etc). But I can say that it really doesn't matter. It does what it is suppose to and does it well. Speaking of which, I think these days most people are forgetting that a phone is a device that you can communicate with people on. I see people that have all these phones and don't use them anymore for calling. Which is odd if you ask me. But I guess we are moving away from communication as a society. Sad...but possibly true. I guess Pink Floyd was right on Keep talking. Back to the phone, can't really say anything else negative about it. The apps that are out by Nokia and Microsoft are pretty incredible and make the phone function even better than before. Though it was incredible before. Thought of the day... I think that we are moving away from open communication that we've had in the past. I think it is holding us back as a society and not a means of a road that we should be heading down.

phones

Let's see I feel bad for all the new iphone users. I mean I think all of us were expecting something rather big and large, something totally different for the new iphone. I have to say I am not impressed. It is one of those things that I think expectations were set way to high. It's not that I don't like Apple and what they are doing, but I think for me this was more of a iphone 4s round two device. You may not agree with that, but the whole new charger is horrible. Oh well, maybe they will learn there lesson...well after the maps gets fixed in the iOS 6 update... Seems like these days, Nokia is getting back into the spotlight. It is something that I have been hoping for. I am a huge fan of Nokia devices. Always have been, and always will be. As I write this, I'm looking to my right and see my Lumia 900 next to me. The new 920 looks like it might be a good investment once it is released, but we will see what it costs. Hopefully they will do it for around $150.
