Baris Eris got his lucky hands on the smartphone I've got pegged as my next upgrade, the Nokia Lumia 900. Apparently Baris isn't just a Windows Phone fan, but also a bit of LEGO-maniac, building himself a custom docking station with our favorite toy building blocks, complete with a charging feature with built-in micro USB...
There are many ways to do this - but I used the time-tested method I developed when building the dock for Samsung Focus. Those circled connections [below] as yellow is the first layer (note the orientation of the bricks, as they bite into the plug very nicely), those circled as red holds the entire vertical stack together. With this technique, you no longer rely on Lego brick's ability to attach to each other. The plastic piece would have to break in order for it to let go.

Nice. I have no logos to do this myself, but real nice. Also, I don't have the Lumia. I'm in the market for a phone and it's a toss up between the Lumia and the Note. Con for the Note: I don't like Android, Pro: Screen size, resolution and all around functionality.
Con for Lumia: Screen resolution, size; no flash. Pro: I love the interface and the overall OS, it's only $99 (free after rebate).
SAYS: I've got the Samsung Galaxy Note right now for review and it's surprisingly impressive despite the baggage pre-ICS Android brings with it. It's undeniably huge, but I've been carrying it around as my primary phone for the last week and it's been a sleeper of a winner overall. It could be because I'm used to larger devices, coming from a HTC Titan. There are a lot of quirks, but you would probably expect it carrying such a large device. Review coming soon.
The Lumia 900 is beautiful, and as a Windows Phone OS devotee, I'm looking forward to making this my main handset. And yes, the rebate makes it that much better of a purchase.
It's a tough choice. I tested both phones at the att sore the other day. I love the size of the Note, the sharpness of the screen, the graphics, the speed. But again, I do not like Android. I lead a fairly busy life and don't have the time to tinker that Android seems to requires. Not to mention that I absolutely do not trust Google as a company in regards to safeguarding my personal information and not intruding on my privacy.
The Lumia is a sexy phone that goes perfectly with Windows Phone's sexy software (I wish the screen was sharper and bigger). Guess I'll just toss a coin.
