A lot of friends are puzzled over if WP7 phones are worth to buy online , many people think that WP7 phone is not worth buying because WP7 phone can not upgrade to the latest WP8 system, and does not support many features in the WP8 system. However, on the other hand, even though WP7 system can not be upgraded to WP8, it can be upgraded to WP7.8 systems. And no matter from the user interface, system performance or softwares, the WP7.8 can be competitive with Windows Phone 8 operating system, the only difference lies in the hardware configuration. Plus the mobile Phone which ships with WP8 system can not come onto the market in a short term and you will probably wait it for a long time. Even if the WP8 system mobile phones will release soon, I think the price will be sky-high, and it is better to buy inexpensive but powerful WP7 smartphones, especially for those people whose money is so tight. Today, I will recommend some excellent and cost-effective WP7 phones to you.
Nokia Lumia 900
Not long ago, in a conference held in San Francisco , USA , Microsoft officially released the brand-new Windows Phone 8 mobile phone operating system.

The other phones also have the potential and what’s more, they are cost effective.
