Just upgraded to Lumia 900 (Cyan)
It's a unit out of Hong Kong, unlocked and shipped with Tango already installed - although when I connected to Zune it went through a fairly large Nokia firmware update.
So I noticed I had to change the keyboard right off the bat to English USA since the characters were originally all Asian.
Also, wouldn't log in using my hotmail ID. I had to change my Live ID to my same name @live.com and then it worked fine.
Nice upgrade..
1) Windows really pops on the larger format!
2) My Lumia 800 had a bluetooth fluke where it would disconnect every 30 seconds in idle; GONE
3) Pink camera spot - GONE (sort of) - in low level incandescent/halogen light, you see the spot in the viewfinder, but when you take the actual photo, the camera software completely erases it!
If any of you are interested, I'm letting my Lumia 800 go for real cheap on eBay. My name there is adamlamar101
I listed it at one cent; it's now up to a whopping $22 and something - so my Priority Mail is at least covered at this point.
Phone even with flukes was enjoyable. But had to sell confessing very heavy usage. Bought it as soon as the unlocked versions appeared last November and was my daily phone since. Suffered two drops on concrete when I was trying to take photos while doing other things - and was too vain to use the silicone skin! So corners chewed a little but screen completely untouched!
Anyway, this was a great community for me - got a lot of help here - thanks all very much!!!
Cheers,
