Motorola Razr I or a Nokia Lumia 800?

brianorb

Hi,

I'd like a smartphone and have one overriding priority : Cost.

In that light I'm trying to decide between the Motorola Razr I and a Nokia Lumia 800.

It's a monthly billpay contract, and the difference in upfront cost between the two phones is €50 (the Motorola Razr being more expensive) which I am prepared to pay.

I don't need to do anything radical with the phone, small amount of txting/phone calls and medium internet usage < 1gb a month.

Thanks!

Davy

Have you played with either?

What do you want help with?

I haven't really played with either. I've held the Lumia and liked the look and feel of it;

I'd like to know if performance is decent on both devices? Is there any lag?

I'm assuming the Razr is very flexible in the sense that it's Android and that the Lumia is more locked down from the perspective of apps? However I don't intend to do a huge amount with apps - just some; and I don't want to have to pay for each and every app I might want to use.

(I have a feeling I am not overly sure what I want, sorry!)

Thanks for your reply.

Ye, well if you dont want to do a whole lot with it, i suggest you try play with both, or as near as possible, because it will really depend how you like one OS against the other. As your usage for it is just calls texts etc than the spec doesn't mean to much.

If you like the feel of the lumia, and are happy with how the W7 works its what I would personally go for, plus its that bit cheaper


I might add, that you may choose to buy it payg as its recently reduced with most networks to save yourself being locked into a contract.

Davy

Forget to say, post your usage for calls, texts, data etc and someone might give you ideas on plans or networks

eh i dunno

Camera is poor enough on the Lumia

I'm getting the Nokia lumia 800 on saturday and to be honest from reading reviews and the lumia seems top notch for only 149.99 on meteor.

Great gaming processor, decent camera, well built and windows 7.5 soon to be windows 7.8 makes things even better.
