From the Forums: Anyone keeping their Lumia 900 past 30 days?

WP Central

The Lumia 900 has been out for a little over a week now and equally people start to get over the "new phone wow factor" they showtime to observe the fiddling things. Some of those little things become more of a big thing if that is the characteristic you need or use most. That leads us to today'south hottest thread in which we are discussing the Lumia 900's camera.

Nokia fabricated the Lumia 900 without a BSI (backside-illuminated) sensor and this sensor (which is included in almost high end smartphones) increases the amount of photons captured in low light situations. Without this sensor, the Lumia 900 photographic camera struggles for greatness. Merely in well-lit situations the camera is on par with other comparably priced phones. You tin get more information about the Lumia 900 camera in our review here.

"Anyone Keeping Lumia 900 by 30 days?" Is the title of today's hottest thread in the WPCentral Forums. Forum member nokia4life wants to know a few things including will you be keeping your Lumia 900 and what virtually the Lumia'south camera:

Okay then i left iOS and Android to improvement to WP and I do beloved WP. Can i enquire an honest question, will any of you be returning the Lumia 900 before the xxx days is upwards? I ask this because since our phone has been released (rushed to marketplace) its been plagued by some problems.

I thank them for getting a software ready out asap to address the data upshot withal no one from Nokia or Microsoft has even addressed the camera which is a big selling point. You just don't throw Carl Zeiss effectually and make statements at CES and Mobile World Congress about how powerful this camera would be for it not to exist true. I am going to try and tough it out until the next Nokia release but this is starting to upset me that they are not even addressing how bad this is. And for those folks that say this is a cell telephone not a camera i agree however if they advertise it i fashion it should perform that way. what are your thoughts folks?

You can imagine that this thread has received a lot of replies some skillful and some bad.

Forum member ftap23is not happy with the Lumia's camera and had this to say:

Apple iPhone 4s, HTC high end phones including the Mytouch 4g slide and more recent models like the one x, and Samsung S2 models all apply BSI. The HTC Titan 2 has splendid camera with BSI. It should be standard in most high end phones automatically

Fifty-fifty apple tree iPhone 4 released in 2022 has a BSI with its 5mp photographic camera.

And so Nokia while known for optics actually took a brusque cut by leaving out the BSI on the Lumia 900. Peradventure this saves them $fifteen? In costs?

I love a lot of things about this phone only I detest the camera. If camera and shooting in low light is of import to u. Than render the phone. No software will fix a missing piece of hardware

Are the issues with the camera permanent? Is there nothing that Nokia can do with a software patch? RiseAgainst94:

I'g simply frustrated that these pictures stake in comparison to other devices. I want to be able to show off what my phone can practise. It's disappointing especially with Nokia having released a phone over a yr agone with superior capabilities. Too, after seeing the huge difference with pictures taken vs pictures edited information technology but seems Nokia could refine the pictures more with their software.

Time will tell if anything tin be done to better the Lumia 900 photographic camera and that brings us dorsum to the other question on the table. Volition you be keeping your Lumia 900, even knowing its shortcomings? Forum Moderator duvi sounds like he is okay with the camera and keeping his Lumia 900:

People will non pay $100 more. I've been in the prison cell phone business concern for a while; in to jail cell phones since I was a pre-teen and the price point makes a difference. You lot and I may pay for it, but others wouldn't. The actress $100 off fabricated me jump and get purchase it. I would accept purchased information technology no matter what, only definitely put the pep in my step

Forum member jbjtkbw007 had this to say.

I've been preaching Android since 11-five-2009 when I got my OG Motorola Droid. I'k now typing this on my Lumia 900. I absolutely will be keeping mine past 30. You lot'll have to pry the phone out of my dead easily before I give it upwards. I'm a convert

In fact, we can't find ane person so far that has decided to return in that location Lumia 900. At the depression price of $100 (on contract) and even costless to some of the early adopters (Nokia rebate) the Lumia 900 seems to be the right device at the correct cost.

What do you call up? Allow united states of america know in the comments if you will be keeping your Lumia 900 or y'all can get to our forums for the more in depth discussion.
