lemme summarize his question..he's trying to let You know that: Lumia's NFC doesn't work with NFC's from other brand(s)...not compatible with 'non lumia' devices.
That's odd. I use my device's NFC and it's compatible with BB devices undecided
Don't know where that dude got his 'fact' from but as a diehard Lumia fan i can assure you the OS is being upgraded regularly.

@Topic. I love my Lumia for a number of reasons.
1. My loyalty to the Nokia brand is yet unbroken.
2. My needs are simple and Lumia is simplicity.
3. The Office suite suits me well. I love it's compatibility with my PC and the ease with which I can switch whether in the office or on the move.
4. No virus wahala. Thank Heavens!
5. It's not very popular. That definitely works for me.
6. I don't get the android hype. Perhaps the droid is a great OS, just like people hankered for BB devices back in the days, but really I don't see what's making you folks go gaga.
7. Choice. The Lumia is simply my choice.

I admit using the device can be frustrating sometimes, but I'm placing most of the blame on my smallie phone. When I upgrade then I'll know what's up. Until then, I intend to remain loyal to this brand and grow with them.
It'll take a huge blow on my trust to get me to shift focus.


Meanwhile if people using Lumia devices have questions, they can visit the Windows mobile thread for assistance.

Both of you are right, You dont need to brag as you have said it, Its a matter of choise. The feature of the Phone doesnt matter here.

Anyway, Symbian still rocks cheesy

I presently use a sony experia, a blackberry and a microsoft lumia 540 phone that i bought recently, and i can confidently tell y'all that my lumia can do just about everything i do with my sony experia and the BB with same ease and speed. Its an entirely new experience that i'm relishing.

I just got a microsoft lumia. Does it use data just like android phones or can I use normal bbm subscription? Please anybody with useful tips....

Data consumption very low. Just make sure it's on battery saver mode to stop background downloads

Your regular bbm subscription will suffice, and no it's not a data monger.

What are the basic apps there? Sotey I couldn't get ordinary diamond bank app from the shitty store. Try to download a song, once you leave the interface of the browser your downloads stop instanta. Network fluctuates like say 2moro no dey cos u can't have it fixed permanently on 3G (u'll always choose 3g & 2g). These are basic things any normal phone can do, but Lumia can't. So pls tell me what is sophisticated in a Lumia device as u claimed that they are very sophisticated.
You are obviously using a very basic low end Lumia

Am sure you understand perfectly what I mean. Microsoft deliberately built restrictions for their device by preventing it from interacting with other brands that share same hardware feature i.e. Bluetooth, NFC.

I wonder how you didn't notice other points I put across in my precious post, are you a Microsoft shareholder or something?

Coz I know even an ardent lumia user will agree with these limitations & thus avoid comparisons with other mobile OS
I'm not a fanboy or loyal to any tech company, but guy you dey lie die.

I use Bluetooth with any device and it works very fine.
The NFC stuff isn't true also. It works great with speakers etc.
NFC has never had total cross platform functionality, as Android can only be seamlessly used with an Android, while WP can be seamlessly used only with a WP too. smiley
They can transfer stuff like contact between each other though.

Clarify something for me. My S2 made in 2011 could multi-task the same way my S4 made two years ago can. Are you saying windows phones of old don't have the basic functions of new windows phone?
It depends on what you multitask.
Don't tell me you can run the same max number of apps at a time on your S2 man.
It can't happen!

The guy was comparing a 3GB ram phone with blazing processors to a 1GB ram phone with much inferior 3 year old processors with no true multitasking.
That is a sinful comparison.
It's enough to make hellfire! cheesy


Compare a 1520 and see how fast it is.

That's the height of your stupidity to ditch ur Android for a Lumia. What are the places that Android failed and Lumia succeeded? And again, if u bet your life on the fact that your Lumia can do all my android can, then you're already on your way to dying. And finally, it's possible you could've made all your points without insulting me by saying I wrote nonsense.

well my S4 hangs nd my lumia doesnt
android heats up nd d battery dies(No constant light) faster cos of its OS, Lumia can run smoothly even on a 512ram with a single processor
I have to switch off my data every night on my S4 otherwise it ll finish, u need not to worry abt that with lumia.
aside from various apps the android has, d lumia is beta in my opinion, but den who r we to judge it all depends on ur taste.

I'm using a Nokia lumia presently also and am considering ditching it soon.
I cant upload pictures on nairaland, cant download music except play.
I use blackberry for those purposes.
Why i kept it so long is because of its long battery life.
wetin u say i upload this pics with my 520

yeah he's right, you can't lock on to "3G only", but W10 has corrected that already.
