Volume can also be adjusted at any point using the rocker switch on the right side of the phone.Īn FM radio is also included in the Zune player, but you'll need to plug in headphones to use it, which doubles as the antenna. If you've got your tunes playing you can easily play/pause and skip tracks from the lock screen of the Lumia 900, as these controls have to be placed on it. Playback was generally very respectable, with the Lumia 900 able to produce decent quality audio and the internal speaker means you can also share you tunes with your nearest and dearest, although quality dips, especially at high volumes. The Nokia Lumia 900 handles Apple-friendly AAC audio as well as WMA (including PlayReady DRM) from Windows. We really liked the History pane on the Zune player, which gathers recently played tracks from all music apps, including third-party titles like Spotify and iHeartRadio there's also a pane with convenient shortcuts to all such music-playing apps as well. Quality is good enough to happily watch a feature film, although the weight of the Lumia 900 may put you off – as you're hand will begin to ache after a while of holding the handset.Ĭlocking in at 160g, it's significantly heavier than the 116g Samsung Galaxy S2 and 16g more than both the Xperia S and iPhone 4S. Video playback is smooth and images are generally vivid, although the clarity isn't quite in the same league as the retina-display touting iPhone 4S or Sony Xperia S with it's Bravia enhancement technology. The player itself is very basic, with just the main functions available, with play/pause, skip and scrubbing options on board.

There's a dedicated video player in the form of the Zune player app (which also includes a music player and FM radio), which we found straight forward to use. The large, 4.3-inch display on the Nokia Lumia 900 means that watching video is something that shouldn't be feared, and videos can be played back from all key formats including WMV 9, H.264, MPEG-4 and AVI.

It's not all bad news, as Windows Live and Hotmail users get 25GB of free SkyDrive cloud storage, and media such as photos can be set up to automatically upload to the cloud from the Lumia 900.Ī free SkyDrive app in Marketplace also allows you to view, upload to or delete from your account. Unfortunately there's no microSD card slot in the Lumia 900, meaning you're unable to expand on the 16GB of physical storage.

The Lumia 900 comes with 16GB of internal storage, which will be plenty for most people, but those of you with huge iTunes libraries or a passion for watching films on the move may find this slightly restricting.
