The Lumia—I’m thinking specifically of the 920 and the 1020—will be always the bridesmaid and never the bride, the too-tightly-corseted lady-in-waiting to the Galaxy and the iPhone, lovely and capable and cast in the shadows. The Lumia is a gorgeous design object, an efficient practical device, a delight simply to hold in your hand. All of these superlatives will sound familiar to tech bloggers, who have regularly sung the Lumia’s praises. But they won’t be familiar to all the people I’ve never seen in the subway, the coffee shop, the airport lounge, the house party, or any other public or private location actually using, enjoying, and passionately recommending their achingly perfect Lumia, with its big crisp screen and its fat-finger-friendly buttons and its Jony Ive–worthy tile design and its ridiculously awesome camera and the way it purrs and trills in your hand like a satisfied kitten when you get an email.
