Reviews and tests


Testers and critics

I just read a review of the new Nokia Lumia 920, which was very positive indeed. However, my attention was attracted by e single point in the article. It stated that the Lumia 920 had no micro-USB port protection like the Lumia 800, and this was considered to be a negative issue. This is interesting, because I remember the criticism the Lumia 800 received because it has a protected micro-USB port. It was considered too fragile! Now I own a Lumia 800 and the little flap protecting the USB has worked flawlessly. It has a magnetic surface which keeps it perfectly in place.  Sometimes one wonders if it makes any sense to listen to those guys! Anyway the Lumia 920 seems to be a pretty cool thing, and perhaps a major plus is the possibility to use it with your gloves on, as that will make it much easier to use it during wintertime, at least here in Finland.

Actually the Lumia 800 has become very popular due to the attractive price at the moment. It is more compact then the larger 900 version and the Microsoft Office connection makes it very useful for business users.

It seems to me that the more you use the Windows Phone interface the more you like it,  Android and iPhone just feel old fashioned and confusing.
