This is a very incomplete and slightly biased article.<p>1) He compares the highest end latest greatest product of Apple, to the Lumia 800, when the Lumia 920 is the high end phone for that.
2) The article talks only about minor UI quibbles, when that is something you just have to get used to. Lumia has better mapping and directions, and a host of other core apps.
3) The hardware design of the Lumia series rivals any other smartphone (the HTC 8x comes close), simply because of its simplicity and warmth. It looks like an organic device.
