My lumia 800 have arrived

its RRP is RM1,650..bought it at Nokia store

It seems you just want simple straightforward answer to convince you to buy instead of detailed explanation.
If you come to Lumia forum, of course majority will say Lumia. Common sense.

If you're undecided and want safe, suggest you to get 4s and you will enjoy it more, it's like carrying LV/Prada handbags, your friends will most likely compliment you more and you will feel good.

If you really want people to tell you which is better for your needs, then you should at least tell us:
1. What is important in a mobile phone to you? Camera? Smoothness? Customization? etc
2. Do you worry and care about what other people think and will say on what phone you get?
3. Are you a brand conscious person?
Not exactly forever, the current and older devices will still have it. Only future devices "may" or "may not" not have it.

All 3 phone and can do it. There's app for Facebook and IM.
1. S2 will be more complicated and more laggy. (not friendly)
Advantage: Got homescreen and you can customize the homescreen (put wallpapers, put icons, put widgets) and nice display.

2. 4s will be friendly and easy to use, smooth and simple. No homescreen, straight App menu.
Advantage: Nice animation and look, nice display, fun and easy to use camera, got SIRI, and a lot of apps/games.

3. Lumia will also be friendly and easy to use, smooth and simple but the display and animation (OS) will be in flat 2D and limited apps/games.
Advantage: Tiles homescreen with little/limited customization. Social Network (e.g. Facebook, IM) integration into the contact book (means all your contacts from Facebook and IM which are supported will be integrated/merged into the contact book as 1 account). When you open your friend contact, you can see their Facebook and supported IM details, etc.
For people who loves social networking will appreciate this feature as everything is in 1 place, easy to see, easy to manage, etc.

For apps/games, it depends what you want, it maybe available in all 3 phones (platform).

Xperia Pro (Android) and Nokia N9 (MeeGo).

The Lumia 800 will arrive on Monday.

Forgot to ask:
What phone are you using now?
What do you like and don't like about it?

If you're new, I would suggest iPhone 4S or Lumia 800. It's very easy to use and pickup.
The major difference between this 2 for a new smartphone user is the PRICE, and secondly, the display, I believe when you take a look at the iPhone 4S display, you will like it more and also the camera, the animation it has; It's more appealing.

Android will need sometime to get used to, and you may face some problems while using. You also need to have patience if the phone lags sometimes or slow to respond.
I would suggest you to:
1. Go to any Nokia Store (you can find one in most of the shopping malls), they have demo units of Lumia 800; Go and try it, check out the design, the display, how it looks like, play around with it.

2. Go to Apple Store (also can be found in many shopping malls), they should have demo units of iPhone as well (you can also try iPod Touch, which is essentially the same). You will notice the display is crisp and clear, you will also notice the animation/graphic is nicer, play with the camera, you should like it more compared to many other phones due to the smoothness and easy to use.

3. If you want, you can also drop by Samsung store and check out the S2; But Note will appeal you more most likely.

If not wrong, you can find all the 3 shops in Sunway Pyramid. There's also Digi and Maxis centre, they might have demo units of some phones.

I believe once you tested and hands on both, you will get your answers more clearly.

Resell value, IMO, Apple has to best resale value no matter what I don't really fancy Apple though to be honest (Am using an S2). Planning to change when the Lumia 900 comes out or when the iPhone 5 comes out cause for me, Android if you don't root it, you're not actually using it and maximizing it to the fullest. So yeah.

thanks to the power of nokia advertisment.

hows the phone? wat package did u took...digi?

awesomeness. Overall is great the camera is great only certain things not full or properly organise like twitter, facebook messages cant access yet should be have fix in tango update.

Foursquare too complicated not like meego easy to use and access.

dude, what is wrong with you...you keep asking lumia 800 vs galaxy note vs sgs2 vs galaxy nexus vs iphone4s in this thread while you already have your own thread for it? http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2220075/+20

Sigh if U not sure better go for android why because 70% ppl are using you can't go wrong. If you want to be different or unique go for lumia 800.

Overall android wins dual core processor, bigger screen, alot of apps and games, can root, good camera.

For me U ask me 10times I'll still go for wp7.

If you want something smooth, stable and unique... go for wp7..
But if you like to follow trend, more apps and games... for for either iOS or android..
You will feel disappointed if you go for wp7 once you found out no apps or games for you... and... you can't install apps or games other then purchase and download it from marketplace...unlike iOS and android....

Simple and straightforward answer for you: iPhone
As generally, it will satisfy most general users.

If you want something different and want to enjoy integrated social networking: Windows Phone, e.g. Lumia 800

Don't go for Android:
1. Can you stand if you want to make a call, the phone doesn't respond or slow to respond?
Now imagine this: Someone ask you to call someone, you take out your phone, trying to dial and the phone didn't respond, give you the infamous "Force Close" or "Wait" option.
IF you're patient, you can wait.
2. Can you stand if the phone is slow? If it lags? I don't think you can.

So, I strongly suggest you don't think so much on Android and you may have less choice to consider.
In short, Android not suitable for beginners. Unless you're technical person and understand very well.

As I said, go and try the device youself.
Better yet, go try and play around with an Android, see if you know how to use it. Try change settings, try do this or that and compared with other phone.

First I personally tested the Nokia lumia 800 and u seen the sample it's better than any android phone

2nd I love the ui metro

3rd its the social integration found in the phone. I can chat with msn/ facebook or SMS just by going messaging

4th I can pull all feeds from all my friends with a click. It feeds everything about them regardless email, facebook, twitter, contacts into individual. The power of people hub.

5th u can link emails multiple email if you want.

6th the voice recognition is pretty accurate but still need a lot improvement.

Mine start from 8.30am some phone calls, internet using gprs and wifi now enter power saving already

i am using ipad tethering wifi to use via celcom skmm and sometimes maxis data plan postpaid 100MB

i do but only 100MB of maxis because my office and home running UNIFI. I have ipad to tether my celcom SKMM plan.

For Maxis, you need to monitor your data usage.... If not, overuse will result in extra charges up to a maximum of RM250 (provided if you're subscribe to their data plan)...
