So last Thursday night I was invited by the fine folks at at&t to check out the new Nokia Lumia 900. Not only did I get my first hands ever on with a Lumia 900, I got to try out the much coveted white one.
N8 | The white and cyan Nokia Lumia 900
The white Lumia 900 is a gorgeous phone. The glossy white plastic feels so slick. The big AMOLED screen looks phenomenal. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bit too big for me.
I was holding a drink when I was offered to play with it. I managed to start up the camera by holding the camera button. Taking pictures was easy. I could either use the camera button or tap the screen to take a picture. The glossy finish and large size make it very hard to use with one hand. As I attempted to touch the back button, the phone slipped from my hand onto the concrete floor.
Being a Nokia, there was not a scratch on the Lumia 900. That new polycarbonite plastic and Gorilla Glass screen make a tough combo. It was joked that an iPhone would have shattered after that drop.
For my own Lumia 900, I am definitely getting a case to overcome my butterfingers.
