I saw smashpop’s message. ROFL.
@thenokiablog Thanks! The thing is I’ll be buying off contract so I would have to factor both price against each other. The 800 is about $500 unlocked I’m wondering how much the 900 would be off contract. Buying the 800 and selling it for the 900 isn’t that bad, I can probably sell it on Craigslist once I get it. I appreciate your input.
@lastone032085 What actually happened, I recently joined ATT. I was with Tmobile where I live but the two problems I have with them is there coverage is not good out here, and there customer service is not good at all. I would have to but the 900 off contract and I am not getting a solid number as to how much that is going to cost. I already was leaning towards the 800. I appreciate your input!
@Illmatic662 the lumia 900 is rumored to be only $100 with new contract. That is very cheap compared to other smartphones out right now. I don’t know how much it’ll cost without contract. The 900 also has bigger screen, LTE, and front facing camera that the 800 doesn’t have.
I’d go for the 900 but there’s no official release date for it right now. If you don’t want to wait, get the Lumia 800 now and sell it when the 900 comes out
@Illmatic662 The big differences are the Screen size, Front Facing Camera & LTE. You are going to get the same experience regardless of either. Skype will be coming soon and will be integrated into WP8 so if you want the best shot at future proofing go with the 900. If that doesn’t matter to you and you are also not a AT&T subscriber I’d say go with the 800. The 900 won’t be worth the additional cost.
What is your opinion of the 800 vs 900? I know they are basically the same minus screen, but how much more do you think the 900 should be over the 800. What I mean by that is if the 900 is $100 more then the 800 do you think that would be worth buying?
@alphatronic you have options in settings to go to Last New or First New after refresh
damn, u guys are fast!
does it support timeline memory? so it keeps my position in the timeline when new tweets are refreshed?
