Application lag is acceptable, the phone UI, home UI should always be available and fast, like iOS; That's why reason why iOS has little complain, most people get annoyed when they phone rings, and the phone hangs or respond very slowly, they can't answer, or SMS.
They should set high ram requirement or do something, then put home and phone UI in highest priority or always loaded. By right it shouldn't never be killed, I often see the home launcher restart, but seeing the low ram available,no choice, but for general users, they don't understand why and will complain. Even if we understand or know, it's still annoying. Using Android with high ram like 768MB, there're usually over 200MB free ram available.
With 512MB, there're like less than 100MB available, if you have more services running, it'll be like around 50MB available; When you run a game or app, it will kill those process to get more ram.
Anyway, to make things simple, since it's a phone, the phone processes should be on high priority and always accessible anytime; This is will better user experience and less complain. This also mean the same for HOME, as they need to go to HOME first before accessing to phone. In either case, HOME should still be quickly easily access, this also will improve the user experience, just like iOS. But because the home is killed, when you press HOME, it will restart the home launcher and you need to wait, and it will slowly populate the home. For technical users, they know what's going on, but for most general users, they don't, but whichever the case, it's not a nice experience. Thus for Android, a higher ram will give much better experience; Using my 512MB vs another 768MB ram Android, it makes a whole lots of difference.
actually, believe or not, iOS also has phone lags, for instance, when you got a phone call, sometimes the "slide to answer" doesnt work, you slide your finger across the screen, but the touch input is not detected.
Sometimes, after sliding to end(phone answered), the screen will hang there will the slider at the right edge of the slider, meaning slider to answer edi, and wait around 3-5 seconds only change to the typical phone call screen.
there are also times when you wanna call, you press on the contact, it will highlight the contact on touch, hang there few seconds, then only start calling.
when you screen is not locked, you get the "Answer" and "reject" button. my experience is that there are times when you press answer, the phone also takes few seconds to respond. and upon hanging up the phone call(press cancel button ) it will hang there will all the button shaded, longest i seen was around 1 minute hang on my gf's phone. and some of this happens rarely, while some of these happens on daily basis.
Message, no complain, apart from it lags the application to death.
I believe what your friend complain on the lag, is when the message come and the notification shows. 3-5 seconds before the notification shows, your game will drop to slideshow speed, then show the notification, then suddenly run smooth again, and recent experience, my character fell into a hole in Temple Run. all these are common stuffs on smartphone, but as far as i can recall, Symbian was the best in this, it doesnt have very noticeable performance drop

True, MeeGo Harmattan was supposedly Maemo successor; Those Maemo users, developers is looking forward to it; then they're all being given a premature born baby to take care and support "again", after so long waiting, history repeats itself, DeJaVu.
Yup, it's very obvious, they know people will go for N9 instead. Since the same applied for 808 which are not competition to Lumia devices? But I guess it may affect the sales of Lumia which is their primary market in US?
Anyway, there's no turning back, and Windows Phone has potential and interesting points especially the People Hub and Office integration, but the restrictions and limitations doesn't go hand in hand with it. It's like giving something good, then at the same time, giving something that turns people off. A sweet Mango that is also sour and bitter.
From previous Nokia feedback, it seems they can't do anything (as it they have tried) when I mentioned these restrictions and limitations. So... just can hope it will change soon.
the thing about 808, i suspect it will come out at RM2200 RRP
overly high pricing to make other premium Lumia phone look like they are better deals
