Nokia Lumia 1000 first and exclusive hands on review 41 mp camera windows 8 - YouTube Although Nokia Lumia 900-series are meant to compete against flagship smartphones from Apple and Samsung, they have fail to become as popular as the iPhones or Galaxy S-series. After failing to offer breakthrough functionality with Lumia 900 family of smartphones, the company readies Lumia 1000-series of dream phones with unique capabilities.
