    Question Lumia 900

    Anyone have any news about this handset coming to South Africa?

    I want to try a Win7 handset and this one seems to be the best. Either that or i'll just get another iPhone.

    I read something a while back that Vodacom wouldn't be bringing it in.

    I got no idea about the other guys.
    Really hope they do; I"m like you, I wanna try one out. You wouldn't consider the 800? Looks pretty good to me.

    i read that too, but i live in hope.

    The 800 has that lingering battery issue that doesn't exactly fill me with enthusiasm

    These South African cell phone companies are annoying me. They should bring in all phones (ok maybe not all but all the top ones) and let the consumer decide what they want. I was interested in the Lumia 900 but the only reason I will not get it (if anyone brings it in) is that my next phone will be the Nokia 808 Pureview.

    Don't hold your breath. You're going to be waiting will Q3 for a major SP to start selling them.

    The 800 is very nice, and just as good as the 900 if you are ok with the smaller size, and no FFC.

    Not really bothered about the FFC. got my tablet for skype/facetime.

    It's all the negative press about the rubbish battery life on the 800 that worries me. The 900 has a 25% 'bigger' battery. i'm sure the slightly larger screen wont drain it that much faster.

    lol, if the OP is anything like me (or generally any techy person) then even the "5" on the end of "15" is a long time.
    Keep in mind, I said Q3, I don't have an exact date as yet.

    @OP, most of that came before the new update. Best would be to get someone elses opinion on that though - I dev with my 800 so have it plugged in a lot. However I haven't found it to be a problem even when I'm away from home. Get's min of a day, with some games.

    Ouch! What network? A quick search reveals that there are lots of unlock sites, that will give you an unlock code for a fee. Most seem to not do at&t though.

    Pfft If I don't sit and play games and hang in the market whole time my battery last till the next day.
    Now that I've calmed down I don't have a issue with my battery.
