My Lumia 900 was working OK. Entering to other country I changed SIM card and it shows "No Sim'. After putting old sim, it shows NO SIM.Pl advice as there is no NOKIA center in BURUNDI where I am staying presently.

Managing any Android device with ICS and only 512MB of RAM it will (Most likely) give you a slow performance and many restarts. Only with some proper custom rom could give a decent experience, but you have look for it and before that root the phone. And you have to deal to the very limited internal memory which is only 1GB.

The Lumia 900 in the other hand is using WP7.8 which is some kind of dumb down version of the WP8, but it give you fast and smooth experience, keep in mind that in WP the app selection is limited comparing with Android but the basic apps are covered. There is no SD card slot but you have 16GB internal memory and no battery access.

My bet is on the Lumia 900, i had that phone for 1 year and is an excellent phone, never had any problems. Now i have the L920 is much better of course, well except is quite bigger and heavy, but no so much to complain.

Now, I want to write a review and share my experience about this phone. I have been a big fan of Nokia for more than one decade. My first ever mobile phone was Nokia 3310 and I had that in year 2000. I have used Nokia 2600, 1600, N70, N97, iPhone 4S and Lumia 900 respectively after that. I will give a big kudos to Nokia for making strong phones. None of my Nokia phones ever got spoil. I lost my 3310 to armed robbers at gun point (yes, 3310 was a tech phone then), I misplaced my 2600 and I still have all the other models and they all still work up to date. I still use both N70 and N97 before I decided to upgrade my devices even though they still work fine. I bought a Samsung galaxy tab 2 7 sometimes in January, just to have a feel of android device and tablet PC generally. Although it has a full gsm/mobile phone functionality (I call it Phablet i.e. phone + tablet), I thought it is too big to be used as a phone and I decided to buy another "Smart" phone. I bought an iPhone 4S in March but iPhone is a total crap!! (It will take another long review to share my experience about iPhone). The only thing I like about iPhone is the Camera. All other features are total bullshit since iPhone is a closed garden system. Take it or leave it, it will take a long time before other vendors could match the camera quality of an iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 (both 4S and 5 have the same camera specs). Not even a Lumia 920 camera!! The only good thing about 920 camera is the low light snapshot. The normal day light snapshot, which most people use more is total bullshit compared with an iPhone 4S or 5 camera.

Back to my review. Of course, it is obvious that I am not satisfied with iPhone and that got me start reviewing other phones, most especially Nokia phones because I am Nokia’s big fan and because of their long reputation of making quality devices. After a lot of reviews online, from friends and from here (gsmarena.com), I decided to buy a Lumia 900 (even though it is not a windows 8 phone). The only reason I chose Lumia 900 (even though it has lower specs compared with 920) is because of FM radio. Yes, you may think I am crazy but that is just it! I use my FM radio and no music app can replace a normal FM radio. I bought Lumia 900 2 weeks ago and I wrote about that. I criticized those saying negative comments about this phone because I thought it’s a very nice phone from my first impression and the tech reviews I have read everywhere. I did not know that those people writing negative comments about this phone are totally correct!! Sorry guys for my previous comment but you guys are totally correct! This phone called Lumia 900 (and other Lumia phones running windows phone OS) is just a f*cking stupid phone!! This phone is nothing but a big disappointment from Nokia (even though I am their big fan). My nokia N97 is 1000 times better than this phone and I will state my reasons for that. Below is my simple comparison between nokia N97 and Lumia 900.
External storage/card slot
N97 yes (I had 4gig memory card on it) | Lumia 900 No

Internal storage
N97 32 gig | Lumia 900 16gig

Bluetooth
N97 yes, supports anything that has Bluetooth | Lumia 900 yes but limited. Only recognizes other Lumia phones and recent Nokia models. It does not even recognize my nokia N70 (f*cking closed garden like iPhone.)


USSD code (e.g. *123# for checking account balance and easy access to the network)
N97 yes | Lumia 900 No (What the f~ck?)

File Explorer
N97 yes | Lumia 900 No. (What was Nokia thinking? You don’t even know where your files are stored)

GPS
N97: Drive and Walk | Lumia 900: Only Drive

GPS Speed Camera Support
N97 Yes | Lumia 900 No

Synchronizing with PC
N97 yes. Plug and play | Lumia 900 No. You can only do stuffs with Zune software. Your PC does not even recognize your phone. You can’t even copy mp3 file on your phone without this Zune software (another copy from iPhone just like crappy i-tunes)

Phone Profile (Silent mode)
N97 yes | Lumia 900 No. They copied iPhone

Removable Battery
N97 yes | Lumia 900 No. They copied iPhone

Easy SIM-card removal
N97 yes | Lumia 900 No. They copied iPhone

Flash Player / Java
N97 yes | Lumia 900 No

In short, Nokia copied iPhone in most of the features in this phone (and all their other Lumia Phones running windows 7.5 and above). What is the essence of buying another iPhone (Lumia 900 and other Nokia Lumia phones) when I do not like an iPhone? So, what is smart about this phone? Absolutely nothing!! Its just a bullshit. My nokia N97 is even smarter than this as you can see above. Even Lumia 920 is not any better than this. It only has higher hardware specs. So, why will I continue suffering just because I want a Nokia phone? Fortunately, I have been using android for the past 5 months and android has all those features missing in Nokia Lumia and other windows phones. It’s been a fabulous experience with an android device.

Good news
Today, I bought a galaxy note II and I returned my Lumia 900 to amazon. Samsung galaxy note II is worthy to be called a smart phone. I can recommend this phone to anybody that wants to enjoy the feedom of a smart phone. Until Nokia decides to reverse to a Symbian OS or android OS, I will say hej då (meaning goodbye in Swedish) to Nokia forever. Nokia should improve their Symbian OS and make all their future devices run on that, rather than Windows Phone. In Symbian OS and Android, there is freedom. In Apple IOS and Windows Phone OS, there is no freedom!! If you want to be in a closed garden, then continue using IOS and Windows Phone OS. Love from Sweden.

All of you criticizing this phone should get a life. Maybe you should try iphone instead. I bought this phone because I think my iphone 4S sucks!
