Request: Small high-end luxury smartphone

I am an avid supporter of Windows Phone, and Lumia line in particular... Switched from Titan II. However, my wife wants an iPhone, she currently owns a Lumia 900. She keeps talking about it because the 920 is too big and heavy. She really wants a slim and speak phone with high-end luxury features.

For me, being 6'2", the 920 size work great...feels substantial and sturdy. In my hands, I feel like I'm going to break the diminutive iPhone.

I think many people with less monstrous hands would prefer an iPhone sized Windows Phone with the high end luxury of the Lumia 920.

I hope the Nokia officials follow this advice.

IMO the 620 hold up quite nicely against the iPhone at an about similar screensize. Granted it's thicker and a bit heavier, but it's almost 1/3 the price.

Or how about stop being bossy and let her buy what she wants?

I use my Nokia as a riot Shield.

You crack me up, I wouldnt let the wife buy a iphone without a big argument, I have got small hands and my Lumia isnt too big at all, feel like Im actually holding onto something, have handled the Iphone and it feels like just a piece of metal in my hand, am sure I would drop the darned thing easily, anyway just had to answer this post, made me laugh, and give your wife a hard time , as all my family do as every one of them have iphones, Im the odd one out and love it.:thumbsup:

She could go for the latest Vertu model. It's running Android 4 and will set you back £6,700 !

He asked about windows phone not a waste of money stupid 6.7k pointless phone.

 

Also to the OP there will be a few new lumia models annoounced at MWC very soon so you could also wait until then and see what suits.

As mentioned above the 620 would suit..

Re: Request: Small high-end luxury smartphone

oh for goodness sake, do you have nothing resembling a sense of humour? Do you honestly think that was a serious answer? What a pompous reply.

As an aside Vertu was until recently a wholly owned Nokia subsidiary and Nokia still hold a 10% share.

Re: Request: Small high-end luxury smartphone

My whole point is to avoid a domestic dispute...which I would loose. I can't win an argument based on preference. Her sister has an iPhone. My wife has a 900. My wife prefers WP, but wants a smaller high-end phone.

If she likes the 900 she'll love the 620

The 620, unfortunately, is not iPhone like.

Re: Request: Small high-end luxury smartphone

 

... And an apple is not an orange

 

 

But seriously, you seem to be asking how to package a Windows phone as an iPhone. You can't and it won't work. If your wife wants an iPhone get over it already. Let her have one if she thinks it suits her better.. what's the problem here really?

 

If she likes the L900 but feels it's to big for here then the 620 will be a perfect alternative in the WP universe.

 

This all sounds to me like you are having control issues and not liking the fact your wife prefers another phone then you'd like to see here choose. Isn't she entitled to making up her own mind here?

Re: Request: Small high-end luxury smartphone

Why is this concept so difficult? Variety is the concept...and not mediocre variety. The 620 is mediocre at best. Why would BMW make the M1? Or Cadillac make the ATS? Luxury in a small package. KIA Sportage vs Lexus RX.

The Lumia 920 is a Lexus. Why not have a Lumia 920 in a smaller package and get more customers?

Why disagree with an idea to get more customers?

Re: Request: Small high-end luxury smartphone

The 620 still beats the 900 in features and performance. In all fairness and in every day use it relly only lacks the camera the 920 has. It does pretty much everything else just as well and to boot it has more storage capacity.

 

Like I said before, if your wife likes the 900 but feels it's to big for her the 620 is in fact a step up in almost every way. It offers more features and better performance in a smaller, lighter package. IMO out of the box the 620 offers much more even than an iPhone does. Nokia and Apple have vastly different design ideas. One chooses to set the design and then see what fits that, the other set out to design a phone which fits the desired featureset.

 

iPhone is like the Borg, Nokia is more like Starfleet..

If the 620 isn't suitable all you can really do is wait and see if Nokia announces anything higher in the range than it next Monday. Rumours suggest they will release something between the 620 and 820.

The 820 is worth considering, it's similar specs to the 920, feels like a premium product and feels smaller than the 900 in the hand due to it's curves. This is the model my wife has and she has very small hands but loves the phone!

 

If all you want is a 920 in a smaller shell all you can do is wait and hope but current market trends suggest you may be waiting a long time for that as most manufacturers reduce the specs for smaller models.
