Battery life, errors, ommissions
"As for battery testing, we are always given enough time with a device to perform complete run down tests and sometimes have to rely on the manufacturers estimates--such was the case with the Lumia 900. "
Seriously, you have to get someone to proofread your stuff, because it seems you don't. In trying to explain your own errors, omissions- particularly ommissions, etc, you write this??? Need I provide an explanation of my point? Not. Imagine how much grief you could spare yourself if you took that extra minute or two.
There seems to be a bit of a discussions on semantics going on here re 'mediocre'. For my two cents' worth (though since we're getting rid of the penny up here, I guess down the road, two cents' worth will actually become even more worthless than it is now), I tend to side with the majority of the contrarians to your word of choice. Not a deal breaker for me, though. Since I mostly use my phone as a (gasp!) phone and for work related email, and my life doesn't revolve around having an electronic toy in my hands 24/7, this puppy sounds like a pretty good fit for me. Have to see who's providing them up here.
