Thanks for kindly letting us know. But, may be, next time, it would be better you just put the url there instead of copying and pasting the info from another site especially the info is tooooo long to read. Don't you think? Ironically, that's exactly what they do to us, "Ignore the user experience", right!?
Anyway, we'd appreciate your efforts. Thanks.

I can here that Lumia is getting more and more popular...but as I have read the specs above, I wonder if this will last on its popularity sooner or later.

This phone needs an app to filter incoming calls.
It's the only reason I haven't bought a Lumia 800 yet.

I've had it in all my phones, from the cheapest ones to the most expensive, like iPhone 4 (hate the battery!).
