I'm sick of waiting for Lumia 920 or at least Nexus 4 so I'm going to purchase a used Lumia 900 for temporary use. So why should and should not buy this phone at the moment?
Thank you all for your help
If you plan to buy the 920 then you should wait. I like my 900, but the wait is worth it if you are planning to buy it.
Take your time
Wait for next year after most new rumoured phones will be released then you will know which one to buy

So far there are no signs at all that the Lumia is coming to the UK, which so far means that there is no true 2nd gen device coming from nokia. I dont count the Lumia 800 as a 2nd gen device, it dosnt even have a front facing camera!!! I suspect that the HTC Titan 2 wont be coming to the UK either..... thanks for leaving your most loyal countries out nokia.
There was a map on the nokia website detailing what phones were goign where. Basically in the UK we are only getting the 710 and 800.
It is disappointing as I am due an upgrade in April and whilst the 800 seems the most likely upgrade prospect there is nothing that really stands head and shoulders above my Omnia (considering there is an 18 month time period between there is no massive advancement).
I'm torn about what to do. I need to upgrade as the Omnia hasn't worked right since Mango with data connection problems. No carriers in the UK even offer the HTC Titan... the only choices on Orange currently are the 800, radar or mozart.
It is frustrating that there is such a high end Nokia handset out there, but we are only offered the mid and low range.
its not high end. tegra 3 is high end...

Too bad Android takes the high out of high-end.
This is exactly the kind of complaining you heard in the US last fall when the 800 was released to Europe, but not to the States.
Don't worry! Nokia is steadily designing and releasing phones - Europe will get its 900 level flagship phone. Keep in mind that Nokia just released the N9 last September. It has a lot of holes in it's lineup to refresh before it gets back to addressing the top. When it does, and Europe has the bright, shiny new Super Lumia, you will once again here the whining masses from the US curse their fate and complain that they "only" have a Lumia 900.

Haha this is so true I just hope it appears before my contract renewal
That's the phone Elop meant when he spoke about the Lumia 1000 not launching in the US - only Europe in March. Mmmmm - 64GB of goodness....

I am not sure if I am going to regret it but I am up for renewal and getting a 800 this Sunday.
I really hope Nokia does not come up with some ass kicking phone in another 6 months
Not sure it will come as it designed to have lte centric hardware
Does anyone know if the Lumia 900 will be sold in the US to buy off of contract?
If so then importing to UK/EU via somewhere like BundleBox might be worth a shot?
Does it works in UK? Main power is 110 in US, at all network...

Nokia Portugal has said that the Lumia 900 is coming to Europe.
And yes, all of AT&T phones can be bought off contract. You'll need the fax AT&T the receipt to get the unlock code.
I heard Rogers in Canada is likely to carry the Lumia 900. I would think they allow off contract purchase of this phone since they are selling the Pentaband Lumia 710 off contract already.
Coming April 27th it seems. This is the first time I want to buy a white phone
Anyone placed a preorder yet?

My Lumia 900 Was meant to be sent off tomorrow, Received this email today, What a shocker
Dear Customer ,
Thank you for your order for the amazing new Nokia Lumia 900 Windows phone from Phones4U, you are going to be one of the first people in the UK to experience the phone that has taken North America by storm since its launch earlier this month. When you placed your order with us, neither Nokia nor Phones4U were fully aware of how successful the Lumia 900 launch would be. Due to the current level of demand for the Nokia Lumia 900, we will not now be able to send you your device on the 27th April.
In the UK, the Nokia Lumia 900 will be available exclusively from Phones4U from the 14th of May. We apologise for what will be a short delay and we expect to be able to send you your new Nokia Lumia 900 on the 14th May.
We understand that you will be disappointed so, in addition to receiving your free Nokia Play 360 wireless speaker, we would like to inform you that, as you were among the first people in the UK to order your Lumia 900, you will also now receive a set of Nokia Purity by Monster in ear headphones (RRP £99.99). We know that this will not make your Lumia appear any faster, but we hope it will make the wait a little more bearable.
Kind regards
Phones4U & Nokia
There is too much demand for this phone in the US right now that's why it is delayed. They want to have enough stocks for AT&T.
Always amazes me how across the pond get everything first eh we normally get left with ****ty colour options and barrel scrapings, Then again at least it wont have AT&T branding
hey all
So im looking to sell my still new AT&T Lumia 900, since it cant be unlocked and I live in Australia
What is the cheapest price people have seen for non AT&T versions, ie, unlocked ones? Outright....
I know its not getting WP8, but that doesnt matter to me...
Many thanks in advance!
Try ebay for the best results.
yeah figured Ebay would be it...
I am going to say $300 is the max given that Roger's 900 which can be unlocked is selling for that much in some places.
Try this on for size:
Closed Listings on eBay for unlocked 900's
Decided just to get an xperia S on a 12m contract. Will wait until WP8 is out!
Hey so I have a $1000 MS store gift card and i want to buy a lumia 920 (in november or whenever it comes out)...but i need it with no contract. Does anyone know if the microsoft store sells no contract phones?
Thanks!
Yes and no, it looks like for the Lumina 900 they are still referring you to AT&T, but you can still pick up an unlocked Lumina 800,

Of course, if you don't want it, I'll that the store credit, that or you could wait for the Surface or buy a Signature PC.

Yes, they sell all of the phones they have no-contract. I have purchsed several there over the years.
In fact in some cases they are selling no-contract phones when the carriers won't. When the 900 first came out the AT&T store would NOT sell me an off-contract phone but the MS store did.
Note that no-contract *does not* mean unlocked. Any no-contract phone they sell will still be locked, unless specifically advertised otherwise (example: Lumia 800 they were selling).
