Nokia Lumia 900 16GB Unlocked GSM Phone $220 + Free Shipping (Ebay Daily Deal)

i still think this is the best deal today!

Quote from techjunkie2 : 3 new phones stopped working one after another. Just won't switch on. After replacing 3 phones, threw the 4th in trash can when it stopped working. will NEVER go back to using Nokia. Terribly poor build quality

That's alarming.. Indistructability is the one thing Nokia has been known for..

My wife has this phone and loves it. She seems to drop it all the time, even in water one time, and it still works like new. The screen is big and vibrant yet not too bulky of a phone.

With any electronic device YMMV but I think the overall consensus is the phone has good build quality.

Get the Lumia 920.

Anybody know if this can use Tmobile HSPA+ network?

Quote from smachine : nice price, but the fact that its a dead OS makes it not a wise buy. Better to spend a little more for something like a Nexus 4

Or get a Windows Phone 8 device. I'd have to imagine that anyone considering this phone isn't looking for a Windows device.

Quote from bjsguess : Well over 100,000 apps. 47 of the top 50 iOS apps are on the platform (maybe that number has gone up as that was reported back in November).

I think that you're thinking of Windows Phone 8, not 7. They aren't the same, and this phone can't be upgraded to 8.

Horrible OS.

Great phone for those over 60 or so. I played a little more and got a powerhouse (nexus 4), but my father (68) hated me changing his wp7 phone for an android.

Nokia WP7>HTC WP7

I've had a titan and a titan 2... HTC sucks at WP, even more than the platform itself

What can xbox live do on the phone?

Also, what prepaid carriers can you use this on? I'm interested but if you can't do straight talk, virgin mobile, or t-mobile I wouldn't buy it.

My friends works for Nokia and few months back I bought this phone for my wife for $150 unlocked.
Honestly speaking apart from solid built qulaity, nothing is worth in this phone.
OS, windows 7 Mango, is pretty much dud.
Their app store is ghost town, even you don't get browsers like chrome or firefox.
People are saying all the important apps which you need are there and all, which is total BS.
They don't even have Google voice?
WiFi connection is weak, my two years old HTC phone shows more WiFi connections SSID than Nokia and when you get connected the signal is weak.
I compare the signal strength with my Samsung SIII, HTC and this one.
Maps, is joke, only good thing you can use offline mapping only if it wont freeze frequently, I guess which you can do with Google maps as well.
its claim as 4G but I hardly get 4G on this, HTC is better on same spot showing 4G signal and this phone mostly shows 3G.
For $220 its not worth, IMOH

How is this FP at this price?That said MANY basic Iowa and android users would be happier with this and a no contract prepay under $40 monthly plan. I am stunned by the high % of people I work with that hardly use their GS3 and iPhone 5 for more than txt/email/cameras. They hardly use data or even GPS navigation but dump $100 plus a month. They got nice phone to hide the fact they are lost with tech. Nexus 4 is better value but even win phone 7.8 is easy to use. Lumia 900 is tough heavy but and not ideal battery life but ideal for first smartphone....don't need apps much.

I got one from secondipity for $160 tough phone

Dead OS? Lol.. yea.. keep telling yourself that.

Windows 8 , whether you like it or not, is going to wind up on the majority of peoples desktops over the next year.

Windows tablets will take off, because a non-proprietary business model of a popular operating system will drive it, again leading to acceptance of the Windows 8 interface.

The windows phone, which is extremely nice, most people who comment how bad they are never used one, will be embraced more and more as not only the interface becomes commonplace but the integration between platforms becomes tighter and tighter.

Nexus 4? I have nothing against Android, I like it alot. I own an Android phone but using a phone, like the Nexus 4, which gets hairline cracks from just placing it on a table during normal use over the course of a few months, compounded by the larger cracks if you dare drop it from more than 2 feet, even on carpet... seems a bit silly to me...

Keep telling everyone it's dead... funnier when it turns out you are wrong.

Hard to justify this deal when the Nokia 620 is out and only a few dollars more at about $250 unlocked. While it is classified as a 'budget' model, it has nearly everything the 900 does, plus it runs Windows Phone 8 instead of WP7.
