Actually aside from the camera, I found the The Verge review to be pretty honest and I agree with many of the reviewer's points especially with regards to the Windows Phone software and ecosystem.

Yes the author was quite negative in the review, but he did mention that The Verge already talked about the great points of Windows Phone in previous reviews. I'm just glad he's honest enough to point out the flaws about WP, even though I know many people don't like to hear them.

Lumia 900's screen may be bigger but its resolution is still the same as the Lumia 800 so there aren't actually more pixels. Images won't look as sharp.
