Will there be a Lumia 900 trade-in program?

Just curious to know if there will be some sort of trade in program for those of us that bought a Lumia 900? I wouldn't expect it because it probably doesn't make a lot of fiscal sense but you guys would gain a TON of love if you made it happen. Doesn't have to be 1:1 either. I'd gladly pay $100-$200 and trade in for the Lumia 920 (or even the 820 if that's the only option). Maybe even just half off?

Doubtful, as the Lumia 900 sales do not seem to be very significant in the first place (the total number of all Lumia models sold over the entire history of their existence - reportedly about 7 million units -, is still less than half of the amount of Nokia's Symbian sales in a quarter, three month period, during Symbian's best times - reportedly about 20 million/quarter). It'd also do quite a bit to decrease Nokia's declining earnings, with no increase in market share.
My issue is that I have an essentially brand new phone that, after just 5 months, has both an obsolete OS and obsolete hardware. Nokia's (and Microsoft's) issue is that they're trying to sell an awesome new phone to a market who - as a whole - for the most part isn't interested. I do think that sales of the 920 will be significantly affected by the likely fact that the majority of people who *currently* are interested in buying a Nokia Windows Phone bought the 900 just a few months ago. I think that if Nokia (or Microsoft) were to offer an incentive to make it easier for owners of the Lumia 900 - or even any other Nokia Windows Phone - to upgrade to the 920, it would solve the issues of all parties: Lumia 900 owners get a 920 and Nokia sees a significant bump in sales (note I didn't say the sales numbers themselves would be significant, just that the increase would be significant).
Nokia (and again, MS) are in a delicate situation right now, and I imagine they are (or should be) primarily concerned with getting more phones into the hands of customers, maintaining and increasing customer commitment, and building at least the *perception* that the market interest in their products is both greater than estimated as well as increasing over time. This all is to say they should be focused more on long term than short term revenue, and should be shooting for a situation like Apple has with the iPhone, with evangelists praising the merits of their products, committing themselves to the product ecosystem, and looking forward to buying the next version, when it comes out a year or more later. And yes, I do think offering an incentive to upgrade could contribute to these goals, and likely would be more effective than Nokia's providing a $100 credit for some relatively harmless and obscure data issue when the 900 was first released.

Will lumia 900 bought in USA work in Croatia?

Hello everbody!
I am planning to buy lumia 900 and have really good opportunity to buy it on ebay from USA (friends living there would buy it). I have few questions:
1. what is the unlocking process?
2. will i be able to charge it ( i heard that there is sometimes a difference in voltage or smthing like that in USA and Europe)
3. also, will i be able to connect to wifi, GSM, 3G?
4. Are all mobile phone functionalities be able in Croatia?
Thank you for your answers!

I would not recommend doing that because the warranty will only be valid in the USA. If anything happens to the phone you can only get it repaired under warranty in the USA and this cancels out any savings if anything goes wrong.

Will there be a firmware update for the lumia 920'...

Early reviews of the lumia 920 are all saying that the camera is not as Nokia said (the best camera on a smartphone at the moment). Photos taken in daylight are not that sharp compare to other devices. One of them even said that prototype tested a month before did not have such issue. Is that only a software problem? If yes, will there be an update? Thanks for the reply.

Some reviwers have rated the camera quite highly so it might be a case of user error on the reviewers part for marking it down.

When will be Lumia 900 available in India?

When will be Lumia 900 available in India?

Unfortunately not, all you can do is wait and keep checking with retailers or news sites.
Anything posted here would be pure speculation that you can find on news sites and cannot be confirmed as being true.
Given the fact that delays have been caused in other countries due to it's popularity in the US it's likely that Nokia has had to rethink release dates for many countries.

When will there be a SIP client for Lumia 920?

I just got my Lumia 920 and am totally dismayed to see there is no SIP client already provided as a Nokia app and (at least as far as I can tell) available in the marketplace . I DID see the info advertising that there would be "deep VOIP integration" in the platform (mentioned in replies to other posts) . In fact, since Nokia has had deep VOIP integration in previous products (on Symbian AND Maemo) this led me top understand and expect it to be there. Will there be a Nokia app? Soon??! Or any news on anyone who is making one?
This is not a "want" it is pretty much a "must" for me as I have a UK Geographic number routed to me via a VOIP service. Which I can only take at home now. Unless I revert to my old (Nokia) phone :-( :-(
So despite the phone being really nice in many ways, I am feeling like I needed to read the small print closer before actually buying.
Skype app works but that doesn't cut it for me!

Windows Phone 8 has VoIP built into the core system. It is easily available through the developers API and when used VoIP call will look exactly like a normal call and be handled as such. You can view a short clip on this as discussed during the June Developer conference here.
So in short; All the ground work is done my Microsoft. It's upto developers to build the app on top of it.

Already Converted 10 of my family members over to AT&T for Nokia Lumia 900!!!

Verizon,
You decided to drag you feet, promote the crap out of Android and stop supporting Windows Phone 7.
So I converted 10 of my family members over yesterday to AT&T for the Nokia Lumia 900.
I got them $100 credit towards the Nokia Lumia 900 which AT&T was charging $99 dollars for the phone on Pre-Order.
So my family members only had to pay $36 for the activation fee.
Verizon, you had your chance. You had multiple chances. If you truly wanted an LTE Windows Phone 7 from Microsoft, you could have easily worked something out with them, just like AT&T did.
All the information has been leaked out, Apollo/Windows Phone 8 was supposed to have LTE but because AT&T showed that they really were interested in Windows Phone 7 and actually carring a lineup of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft worked it out for them.
So you can take all your Droid crap that you have heavily invested in, along with all your iPhone 4s that keep hogging all the bandwidth on your network and stick it were the sun don't shine.
I promise you this, when my contract is done I will be terminating my account in FULL and switching over to AT&T as well.
To not even stand behind a product that we all have signed 2 year contracts with is unacceptable for the price were paying. To hold back all updates besides Mango is unacceptable just to lock in new 2 year contracts. And I'm talking about Droid too.
Carriers should not be in controll of phone updates PERIOD!!! Updates should be released from the OS Manufactures just like on computers. This business model that the industry has created is a SCAM, JOKE and an INSULT to everyone that puts there hard earned money up for phone service.
Verizon, you have lost all respect in my book, and I will do everything possible to get everyone and everybody I talk to away from your network.
Only way to solve this issue is to address the Windows Phone 7 community and actually annouce something, PERIOD!!! Release the 8107 update as a good faith measure and issue a press release stating your business model regarding Windows Phone 7... Unless you want more dollars going to AT&T.
Also, latest news shows that Android only made $22million in revenues last year, and spend $20 billion acquiring Motorola. So I don't see Andriod being able to do much in the year 2012 to ramp things up to compete against Windows Phone 7/Nokia and Apple.
Do Something, NOW!!! CAN YOU HEAR US NOW!!!
Also, here's another suggestion... Do like AT&T has done and give users a early termination fee to get out of there contracts. I believe they charge $35 dollars or something higher if your not satisified and want to terminate your contract early.
Since you don't want to support or offer any more Windows Phone 7, why keep us as unhappy customers. Give us an option to pay a early termination fee and leave!!!

Android is not a company but a phone operating system. GOOGLE acquired Motorola, not Android. GOOGLE's 2011 revenues were 37.9 billion, NOT 22 million. Google acquired Motorola for 12.5 billion, NOT 20 billion.

Again, where are you getting this information? The AT&T ETF is $325 less $10 for each month of your contract which has been completed. It is NOT $35. Verizon has a similar, although slightly higher ETF of $350 less $10 for each month of your contract which has been completed.
Yes, we can hear you, but you are not making any sense!

Lumia 900 Various Issues

I recently purchased a white Lumia 900 this past weekend, and just wanted to go over some concerns/issues I've had with it thus far. I was thinking about doing a return/replace with At&t, but it seems that the issues may vary. I'm hoping many of these can be resolved with a software update. Just FYI, I already ran the update that was released on 4/16 and have also reset the phone a few times since then.
Display:
1. The display has a purple hue (most noticeable on gray backgrounds) when set to low brightness. This is mostly an annoynace since my wife has the same phone and hers does not exhibit this behavior. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue as it displays fine above the low brightness setting. Below is at least one thread of people having the same issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599308
2. Screen response is slow. It seems that that there is a delay between where my finger is and how the screen tracks my movements. I'm hoping that can be adjusted to be similar to how the Lumia 800 responds as per this video. The tracking starts at 3:45.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KBDZrqVW-8
3. Home screen scrolling is slower than other Windows Phones. On my previous Dell Venue Pro, I could scroll through the home screen much faster. From reading about the web, it seems that the Lumia 900 is set at a much slower pace, or that the inertia scrolling just isn't set. I'm hoping that can either be changed or allow us to change the scroll speed. The combination of the larger screen, the slower screen response, and the slower scrolling just makes the phone feel slower than it should be.
http://forums.wpcentral.com/lumia-900-ace/190309.htm
Sound/Notifications:
1. There is a large volume discrepancy between the speaker and the headphone jack. I try to keep the volume at one setting (around 18) because that is most comfortable for me when listening with headphones, but switching back to the speaker, and it is just clearly too loud at that setting. I'm hoping this can be changed with an update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615986
2. Changing the volume while the screen is off is very inconsistent. I have to press the volume rocker buttons several times before it makes the incremental change. It seems others were having issues with the volume rocker not working at all prior to the 4/16 update, so I'm hoping this can be fixed further.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1607937
3. Vibrate function seems to be making a rattling noise. This one definitely seems to be a hardware issue, though what I have seems to be 'normal' for a Lumia 900. It's not as bad as others I've seen on the web, where it would be extremely loud, but it is annoying nonetheless. I'm just hoping a hardware fix can be put in place for the future. It sounds similar to that of the Lumia 900 at the end of this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KBDZrqVW-8
Camera:
1. The camera has issues with white balance and focus. This is definitely a software issue, since 3rd party camera software are able to take great pictures just fine, such as SophieCam. I'm hoping this can be addressed soon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605444
Despite these issues, I really do like the phone. I hope many of these issues can be addressed soon via software updates. We broke contract with our previous carrier to obtain these phones, and would really like to keep them, but not at their current state with these various issues. I'm hoping Nokia will see these issues and provide quick and helpful support for them.

OK, so I've calmed down a bit and now realize some detailed explanation of the issue could help to identify it more than ranting. So, here are the usage conditions and symptoms I noticed when I got into this battry drain, laggy, warm phone situation.
1st time:
Where: At work which is outside of Phoenix in a spotty reception area. I had maybe 1-2bars of 4G showing
What: Drove to work using bluetooth audio all the way. When I got to work I was trying to download an App, but the download failed. I tried again, and the download started, then just froze at 15%. I cancelled the download and tried again. It started to download and froze again at 15%. I attributed this to the weak coverage (but since then I've been able to complete a download from the same location with the same service)
Then the battery seemed to drain as fast as I could charge it...literally. I had the phone plugged into a USB charger and the state of charge barely changed after hours of charging. I never thought to re-start. I got home and my battery was basically dead after bluetooth audio all the way home (almost 1 hr). I finally restarted and had no more issues. Didn't really think anything of it...just thought my new phone had a **bleep** battery life
2nd time (following day):
Where: At home with strong LTE coverage in Tempe
What: Woke up, paired up with my portable bluetooth stereo at home. Let the music play while I hung out in the pool for a few hours. I was simultaneously taking pictures throughout the afternoon. Battery charge quickly fell to about 25%. I started to notice that when I would zoom into the pictures I had just taken, it would take about 15sec for the resolution to re-sharpen after zooming in. About 20min later my battery critically low warning came on. So, I plugged into my wall charger. Can't remember at what point I re-started.
That was Saturday. I had no issues and great battery life on Sunday. No bluetooth audio usage. Used Nokia Drive, the phone, internet, and various apps, but no BTA.
3rd time:
Where: Driving from Tempe to work, passing in and out of coverage along the way
What: Streamed Bluetooth audio the entire drive with a few phone calls mixed in. Got to work and the phone was warm, but I assumed this was normal after an hour of usage. Got into work and noticed it being laggy in general. Turned off data and BT Gave it a few minutes to recover and for the phone to cool off with no usage. Phone didn't cool off and remained laggy, so I figured something was up. I re-started, all issues disappeared, and phone cooled off. It has been fine since.

Lumia 900 gets stuck on 4G (HSPA+) and won't conne...

In this thread, 4G referrs to HSPA+, LTE referrs to LTE.
Below I'm going to go into detail about the LTE issue with the Lumia 900 on AT&T. This issue is separate from the no data connectivity issue that has already been addressed with an update.
The problem: The phone will not reconnect to LTE after you leave the LTE coverage area and come back into the LTE coverage area. Data works fine, but the phone only connects to 4G (HSPA+). You are now stuck with slower 4G untill you reboot the phone or use the airplane mode trick (explained later).
For example: I live in a 4G coverage area and work in an LTE coverage area. I go to work and the phone connects to LTE. I go home and the phone drops to 4G like it should since there is no LTE there. When I go back to work the next day, the phone will not connect to LTE. It stays on 4G. I have attached two pictures demonstrating the issue. Picture 1 shows the phone with a 4G data connection even though I have 5 signal bars and I'm in an LTE coverage area. Picture 2 shows the same phone after I reboot the device. I'm in the exact same location, but I now have LTE after reboot.
When does the problem seem to occur? The problem occurs if you leave the LTE coverage area and come back after a few hours. It seems to happen most often after only 2 to 8 hours in the 4G area.
I have been working with AT&T engineering for about a month and they have done multiple traces and can't find anything wrong with the network. They see the phone connected to the 4G antenna instead of the LTE antenna on the tower. My moms Lumia 900 has the same problem. My wife has the HTC Titan II Windows Phone with LTE and it works perfectly.
Based on my own observations, the issue has nothing to do with the amount of data you use either. During the time you leave the LTE area, the battery may also appear to drain faster than normal. I believe the problem is the phone keeps looking for that LTE signal but can't find it. It then gives up and goes into 4G mode to save the battery but never again tries to reconnect to LTE.
How to force create the problem: I did this 8 miles from the official LTE coverage area. 1) At a high elevation facing the LTE coverage area, I turned on airplane mode while I was NOT in the LTE coverage area. 2) Next I turned off airplane mode. 3) The phone connected to LTE with one signal bar while not in the LTE coverage area. 4) Moments later it dropped to 4G. 5) Then I drove 10 minutes to the LTE coverage area and it did not connect to LTE. It appears the phone saw the very weak signal and locked itself in 4G mode.
Temporary fix: To restore the LTE connection, you can reboot the device, or turn airplane mode on and then turn airplane mode off a few seconds later. This of course turns off all radios and turns them back on.
Please also feel free to see this thread on the AT&T Online Forums. I'm not the only person with this problem. AT&T Forums
Does anyone else have this happen or can anyone at Nokia please look into this?

This issue has still not been fixed. I wish it would be fixed but Nokia hasn't officially responded to the issue. Constantly having to use the airplane mode to get LTE is frustrating. Just last week my phone got stuck in HSPA+ 3 times in one day while at my work desk (poor signal in building).
I really wish Nokia would resolve this as they have resolved most other user complaints. Data connectivity bugs should be a high priority item.
I'm on my 4th Lumia 900, I've tried all the updates, doing a phone reset and working with AT&T engineering to no success. My mom's Lumia 900 has the same problem. Twitter support only says AT&T needs to reset my account. I don't really get that.

Lumia 900 contact groups members limitation.

Anyway to surpass the 20 members per group limitation...I have to say this is really annoying why is it old androids
phone let you have close to unlimited members per group according to your SD card storage, but not for Lumia 900
so I am thinking Nokia should mark this as a play phone not for business usage? I am quite frustrated that I got a
new phone but force to use back my 5800 xpress music because most of my contacts transfer over is kinda screw
up, and yes I have went to a Nokia care center and all they can reply "is a new software is like that". Anyone please
please tell me there is a way to this problem...

Nokia really needs a software update to break this group limitation, can we have more option select in contacts
like not show my hotmail synchronize contacts? This is annoying to see so many contacts that is not really
related. I myself have around 450+ contacts and is been hell to re-enter them after the first sync, because
whenever my contact have more that 1 number it shows ie. Vincent, vincent1, vincent2 really annoying. And why
is it I have to add contacts in a group 1 by 1 why can't I select all that I wish to group together. All this function
were in android phones and might I add is really really really really useful why took all of this away. I have know
people with over thousand contact list how will they be able to use lumia phones for business. I myself have
been using Nokia for 10 years plus and this lumia phone have been a great disappointment so far...

Lumia 900 - My view

Hello all, so after long debate I had finally decided to upgrade my Nokia N8 (Brilliant phone)
I now own a Nokia Lumia 900 - white. I don't want to start of like most do on forums with problems here and there but a nice list of nice features I have come to enjoy.
So the first thing I love is the black sleek background - very minimal and looks amazing. the phone it's self looks great and people have been impressed by it because it's not your common android/iphone.
The main menu screen, the layout is fresh and very much pulls you in for a closer look. the phone itself is very smooth and internet browsing is a doddle, and a pleasure to use.
The screen clarity blows you away, and watching films is pretty good overall.
I have really enjoyed exploring around this phone and there are a few updates I feel is needed, I will list those things below:
firstly I think for me I love T9 and to exclude that is a massive blow for me, especially as I prefer to use my phone one handed and can be at times difficult with the size of the phone and not able to get my thumb right across to reach the little qwerty keyboard, although it's response is brilliant with two finger typing.
Also to tie in with the keyboard, there is no Right or Left arrows on the keyboard and because of the implament of touch a word to change it stops you from entering that word, therefore you have to delete letters to get to the mistake.
For my personalization is a massive factor, I would like to create 'Folders' in the sub catergory to make browsing that much easier, as I do not want to clog my homescreen up.
Zune, now by what I can see this is almost ment to be the 'iTunes' of windows phone... ridiculously frustrating, files I want to addis a mare. all my music and photos are on my external hard drive, so in order for zune to see them i need to copy them to my zune folders then to find it on zune itself, then synic... There is an option to select which folders it searches through but because it's a plug in hard drive it doesn't want to know.
I just to open the phone as a normal folder where I can drag and drop anything into, without going through the pain of a third party program. VERY, VERY POOR - please sort this.
I would love to see a connectivity bar, like what was introduced on the N8 on any screen where you pull it down and you had instant access to turn on any data/wifi/bluetooth connections, how it is right now I have to go deep into the menu to do this.
One other thing I asked for before going ahead with this phone was I wanted the FM transmitter, I spoke to the Nokia rep, who assured me there were a few apps that would allow me to do the same as I could with my N8 where I can play through a radio without wires or bluetooth. to find that I CANNOT, andfrom what I see it is a hardware thing, not a software thing, so I really feel misled. That was one massive thing my friends always went wow about and the one thing I used daily in my car, and at work.
Also, when I first used my bluetooth I was able to send and recieve stuff via it. now it doesn't connect to any other device, just says 'not supported' is this a problem, or is it just like iPhone where you are only compatible with certain things.
I just want to mention, would be nice to see my music organised a lot better on the phone as well, I think as it stands it is pretty poor, think less is more, it can be a bit OTT on the music menu side.
This phone has so much potiental, and I am loving having it. This is just a few of the things that effect me and, would like to see happen, if anyone can spread light on any of the above I mention that would be brilliant.
Keep up the good work Nokia, people laughed at android when it launched, now it's taken over iPhone. I know windows will be a lot better than any of those could!
Thanks for reading guys and girls!
-Dean

Every little detail you have explained here is 100% right. I switched over from Nokia E7 3 months back to Lumia 900 and I still haven't gotten used to this qwerty keyboard. I downloaded a paid app for T9 but you have to go into the app to write a message and its not integrated into the phone where it can give you the option in the keyboard setting to switch between t9 and qwerty.
the music player does not go into landscape mode which I regularly use while driving and that is really frustrating.
You cannot use any other headphones with this phone other than the ones in the box as I have a Nokia multimedia headphone which has a pause play next, previous and volume control buttons which I was using with my E7 and its a bother when you are listening to music while jogging as you have to take out your phone every time to do something, unlock the screen or swipe.
I miss the communication bar too.
If Nokia was coming with a new phone, it should have had all the people in their minds who were so very comfortable with using these simple tools Nokia had provided to them in each and every phone Nokia made over all these years before designing a new phone.

Lumia 900: Bugs I wish to make known for future s...

Proud owner of a Nokia Lumia 900 (matte black). Beautiful phone but I'd like to report some bugs:
A) Audio Sound: Way too low for audio out to either a headphone or listening through the auxillary port in my car. I use my phone at the gym and while the audio is clear it's way too quiet even at 30/30. In my car I have to crank up the volume really high to hear my music. My previous Samsung and Apple devices always sounded loud and clear compared to the Lumia.
B) Tiles don't always open completely: Several times when I click on a live tile the app starts to load then it just goes back to the homescreen. I'll repeat the task and the same thing happens again and again until I reboot. Also sometimes when playing music apps like Spotify, Slacker or TuneIn the apps will play in the background but when I go back in to try to pause them I can't. The app won't reload and it's not found when I hit the back arrow. Again I have to reboot to regain control of my phone.
C) Poor data streaming performance even with good signal: AT&T's network rocks in my area. Very solid. But since I've started using the Lumia I've noticed that streaming data often pauses or freezes for no reason. Usually by relaunching the stream it returns only to cut out again without recovering on its own. Yes my device has the software update that was shortly released after launch and this happens on several streaming apps. If I was new to AT&T I might be inclined to blame their network for this but I've been using them for a long time and have several devices that I've used without this issue.
D) Camera: For a device with Carl Zeiss optics it performs average or below average compared to competitors like HTC or Apple. Needs better support for those with shaky hands and for less than ideal lighting situations.
That's about it. Everything else I love about this phone. I'm hoping Nokia can take feedback like mine and use it to improve their product line over time. We're picky here in the US and we like out products bigger and better than everyone else. We also are a gadget driven country and we'll pay more to have the best.

There are limitations with Microsoft's OS, but things will continue to get better. Microsoft has a suggestion page that addresses many of these "problems."

Yeah, but do not expect to see those changes on your current Windows 7 phone. If those issues are adressed they will most certainly only be fixed on Windows Phone 8

Nokia Lumia 900

The Lumia 900 is about to be introduced. I'm wondering how it compares to the competition in terms of what the phone can actually do (now, or in the very near future).
I'm not concerned with the "price", as over a year's time, and more, the original purchase price of the phone is negligible compared to the other expenses. I'm assuming it will be available unlocked for those who don't want to deal with the various carriers and their pre-loaded software, blocks, and restrictions. If price is no object, how will this device compare to the competition?
I guess what I'm asking, is if it does the basic things that most of us expect nowadays from a mobile phone? For myself, I'm curious as to how it compares to the N8 Nokia, the iPhone, and the newer Android devices.
Will it work with ALL the common frequency bands, so it will be useable in Europe, Asia, and the USA (both AT&T and T-Mobile), at both "slow" and "fast" connections?
How will it interface with common computer software, such as Microsoft Contacts, Outlook Contacts, Calendars, gmail, and so on? Will all of these be fully functional on the 900?
Will the Bluetooth connection allow it to send/receive from our existing phones?
When/if the battery needs replacing, how big a deal will that be?
Can the user customize the phone as many of us are now used to doing, with commonly available themes, ringtones, wallpaer, etc.?
Will it work with the commonly available communications software such as Skype, Jajah, Windows Messenger, MagicJack, Viber, and so on.
Lastly, will it have a "standard" file structure, allowing files to be copied to/from the phone using Windows Explorer, and photos to be "imported" from the phone either by Windows tools, or Lightroom (or other similar programs)?

It will compete on every level, however as far as customization of themes and tones is concerned, there are no 'Themes' metro changes the phone as you move from one app to another, and there is nowhere to see a screen background photo as such, As for BT file transfer, it isn't possible, but you can transfer contacts via BT. To move siles you have skydrive and microsoft office . Also synchronising calendars, contacts, outlook etc are simple through your live account.
WP is a much more reliable (zero freezes or reboots/resets in over 4 months) much quicker and a better web experience than Symbian. The thing to do is to read some independent reviews, which are filling the web at the moment, and to go to a shop and try one . Personally, as a long time Nokia user, I'm very impressed and , for me , it covers all the bases.

Nokia Lumia 900 Data Counter and People Tile

Is there a data counter on the Lumia 900 that I can't find? I've tried to call the 3282 data number, and it always tells me I'm at 0 even though I know i've been on the data network and not wifi.
Also, can someone explain to me how much data something like the people tile/email account setup uses? I've never understood apps like that coming from suuper old phones. Is it constantly checking your email/facebook? On some time interval? I'd really like to set up facebook and such with the people tile because it seems really nifty, but I don't want to go over my 2gb plan. I just don't terribly understand how it all works, and i'd be willing to try it out if I could see how much data i'm using..but that goes back to my first question...In the past when checking email/facebook I'd always just use the internet browser on my old Nokia e71x, and it wasn't giving me updates in real time like I know this guy is capable of. I'd like to use it, I just don't wanna eat up my data plan. Thanks for any wise words!

The email setting can remain always-on and email arrives instantly like a Blackberry if you set the synchronization settings to "as items arrive" for the email setup. There will also be a very small data usage checking for changes on various Windows Live services such as Calendar for changes so it can sync the data to the phone, or vice versa.
The People Hub tile uses existing picture thumbnails already stored on the phone from your contacts profile pictures and Twitter and the first profile picture it finds on your friends profile pictures on Facebook. Once the thumbnails are on the phone it doesnt use any more data.
It doesnt use any data to check for Facebook or Twitter until you go into the People Hub and swipe the screen into the "Whats New" section then it displays new Twitter and Facebook posts which have happened since you last checked it. Although if you have set Twitter and Facebook to email you when you receive a mention or interaction and you have your email set to receive messages instantly then you will have realtime alerts for those important things.
When you swipe to the "All" section of the People Hub and click on your picture it then gives you the option to post a message to Twitter / Facebook or Windows Live all at the same time, or selecting each checkbox for individual social networks if you only want to post a message to one or two not all. In this section you can also Check-In which places a Bing Maps location of the place you are using the GPS system. The Messaging system is persistent always-on and displays any contacts that are online on your Facebook chat and Windows Live Messenger if you have set it up, which when you receive a message is text only so uses very little data.

Nokia Lumia 900 Front camera issues

Hi Moderator,
I bought the new Nokia Lumia 900 few days back and today for the first time when I tried using the front camera on one of my video calls it just froze. Thinking that it is software(skype, tango) problem I tried to open regular camera but the front camera wouldnt come up. I called At&t technical support he advised me to switch off the phone, remove sim, re-insert the sim and turn it on. It worked(thought I still dont understand the realtion between sim and camera). But after some time the camera again hung up on me. This time I switched my phone off for 5 minutes and then turned it on it worked. And I cannot do the whole process again and again all day. Is that a known issue or defect in my phone.

I also have a new Lumia 900 with skype installed. I am finding that the experience on wifi is still not as smooth as Facetime on an iPhone. I am also finding that after I use it a second time (my call hung up in the middle), suddenly my front camera will not work correctly anymore. It is showing the image as though it has some kind of a filter applied and there does not appear to be a way to turn or reset this filter. Switching to the front view worked fine. Audio continued to work fine and my phone did not lock up, other then possibly internet delays. I got the front camera to work again by powering down. I think there might still be software issues.

Will there be a Lumia 900 trade-in program?
