Some people actually like Windows phones.... just like people like Android phones.

Loving my Lumia...

I rock it more than I touch my Sony.

Durability is muaaaaah!

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.

I download opera mini on my nokia lumia 920, I can download music and upload pics with it perfectly...the music will appear on my xbox music. try it

@donhils, lumia is wack.... the day my lumia cracked its screen and seized working was a very happy day in my life....I bought it cos the hype was so much but seriously, it was a very dry phone. I blame microsoft sha cos of the wack OS cos the hardware was pretty sleek.

Very funny phone too...I send files and if it doesnt recognise the format, the file just disappears, lol.

The greatest disappointment was that I couldnt upload files on to the internet on the internet explorer...I had to use UC browser app for that.

The office suite was fine but as a blogger, copying long text to paste on my blog was tedious, I didnt even bother but on android I can post directly from google drive where I type.

Even microsoft is trying to sell off Nokia if they havent already sef...that says it all!

People can defend them from here till tomorrow but it is what it is.

donhils:

I said it. I also said I USED a Lumia phone, not that I'm using. It wasn't there when I used it and by then every little Android could have the app.

Okay, understandable then now the world is upgrading

You can choose to explain what you mean, or you can continue to give vague points. And no, I'm not a 'Microsoft shareholder'. If I were, I'm not sure I'd be here. I don't even know why you raised that or what it has to do with anything. (So one cannot argue for a particular device without accused of being an enthusiast. I find that very funny.)

That aside, your sentence on 'lack of NFC' was what caught my eye. And I reached out to you to find out what you meant. I didn't understand what you meant and I pointed that out. You still haven't explained, but that's okay.

And what restrictions did Microsoft build for their devices to prevent them from interacting with other devices? Please list them. I'm sure everyone on the thread would like to know.

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.

hv similar thought to infinix and tecno users....

The fact is, you have already closed your mind to lumia and windows phone. But whether you like it or not, lumia is growning, and more people are buying it. I don't know where you see your own but around here, the most people that use lumia are young teenage girls. And that is because where android fails, lumia exeeds. No doubt android is a bigger and better operating system than windows now, but also windows phone is now a very reasonable option, so those people that you see with lumia made an option and chose lumia over andriod, if you have a problem with that, I don't want to tell you to hang yourself, that would be mean.

Then You said you think windows phone is for people that is not to intrested in technology, but from all you said, you know nothing about technology, cos if you do, first you won't be a critic, you would should had know what I said in my first paragragh and above all you should had known the answer to your question! But since you don't I would give you an idea, now pick up your android phone, think about all you do with your phone(not all you think your phone can do). If you are really honest to your self, all you do with your phone is all those guys you see with lumia do with thiers. I can bet with my life there is nothing more you do with yours that can't be done on a lumia, but you won't be honest, I'm 150% sure of that.

Listen to me, I'm a tech person, I love tech, I'm a programer reading computer science in school, and I want to get a lumia phone and ditch my android, yes, its about choice, lumia would do for me all I do on my android now, I don't have one now cos I can't afford one. And to me, you are less than a baby in the tech world to post such nonsense. Thanks. Have a blessed day

No mind dat boy, I am using my Lumia to post this
I love the phone, it does not consume data like the andr. with the battery saver on. You can can update email manually. in fact, it is data-economical.

angels09:
responded with a Lumia Windows phone and I also love my Nokia torchlight for its long battery life

How many calls do you make per day? That makes you think it has a long battery life?

Craven:


Your assumption that people purchase Lumia devices just to make and receive calls is very wrong and based on the fact that you know nothing about the devices.

Lumia devices are known for their durability, great camera, and remarkable battery life. The app store doesn't have as many apps as Android or iOS stores, but the basic apps are available. The UI is sleek and sophisticated, although not completely customizable.

Lumia devices have their drawbacks, but they are very good devices nonetheless and offer value for your money. Besides, Microsoft promises a new Windows 10 Mobile update that promises a better experience.

So before you judge a device based on wrong assumptions, try to research about it first.

guy lumnia is not an interesting gadget at all, is just being hyped with big name microsoft..

martineverest:
U shud av also ask what ppl do with microsoft 'surface pro 3' tablet(a tablet dats is overtaking ipads and macbook in america'

Says who... didn't you read the news of a CNN reporter using Surface Pro 3 as a stand for iPad?

infact,it reminds me of how the tiles of my toilet are,some fell off and i did not buy the right colours to replace them, i did not want to go back to the seller so i put them like that.so i drew Facebook logo on one,twitter on anoda....

shut up,dumb boaster what made u a programmer?how many programs have u written?and what is even a program?u know nothing of technology,cos if u do at all, u should know that lumnia is lagging far behind in the smartphone world,android is the best and the biggest,followed by the ios.windows phone is the worst mistake nokia and microsoft ever made..

could you put me through.

Nsonaso:

i do heavy browsing and downloading simultaneously with my 640xl for straight 4 to 6 hrs,only 4 d battery to reduce by 15 to 30%...i watch a full movie for almost 2hrs and battri reduces by 6%.when i use it in making calls only,the battery lasts for 3 days.tho,d fone is on battery saving mode

ABEngine:
The Lumias frustration is second to none, I get the sort of feeling we had using the Trium back then, especially when the loudspeaker doesn't work on third party apps.

The app issue is so peculiar as I rarely find choice apparently on the store.

The 8.1 update for phones adapted for same feels like ruins as it deliberately stated it's advantage on battery life but trust me that's not true.

How about multitasking? Let's not just go there. I had a Lumia 925 and I think my SG6 Edge is doing just better. 925 is durable and strong tho let's be straight on that.

For comparing a 2015 behemoth to a 2013 phone in multitasking, you can't make heaven.

come on, just look at the hardware and be realistic.
A sensible comparison would have been Lumia 1520.

My opinion is if it's not Panadol, e no fit be like Panadol.
What's the point of buying a phone that it's not android but runs android phone.
Get the real thing.
A phone is a flop if it depends on the apps of another OS to be appealing.
Buy an IPhone or buy an Android.
Don't buy a wannabe.
And what lag do people keep talking about in Android? Have always used Samsung and never noticed it.

Zammydagreat:


I download opera mini on my nokia lumia 920, I can download music and upload pics with it perfectly...the music will appear on my xbox music. try it

Does the music get saved on the phone.
I can upload picture through Facebook app only.

donhils:

Abeg let me hear word. Nyanyanyanyanyanya....what did you just say? I can't do basic banking with my phone and you're talking opata. Everybody except me on this my thread have suddenly become a tech personnel.

My friend, if really you have Lumia phone go to ur window phone store for ur Diamond Bank mobile app.

Bro, you need an education on how to use a phone.


You mean UC browser or internet explorer don't upload?
I download music and even videos everyday. lol.

Ya Durability.

donhils:

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.

dont mind that tech dullar,boasting that he is the king of tech and a proggrammer, when he knows nothing..lumnia phones are the worst mistake nokia ever made to adopt nonsense microsost windows on their flagship phones,it killed my very loved nokia.lumnia phones suck so much that they badly lag behind android and i0s..

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?

2kurupt:
Indeed it's different strokes for different folks but it's amusing seeing peeps here try to console themselves by saying lumia powered devices are superior to Android's.

Yeah, your battery may last longer but ain't that obvious when there's nothing to use the battery on?

Can a device truly be called a smartphone when you have to go thru hassles just for a simple download, has meager connectivity options i.e. Lack of NFC, Bluetooth, miscast with other devices as well as can't have true multitasking?

It's true some people are really enjoying their lumia devices but what the OP asked is what do you use it for that makes it enjoyable? Coz I'll really like to know too,
after a few days try, I was bored as hell.

You people will kill person on NL

WP doesn't have Bluetooth or Miracast support or NFC?


When I say you people haven't seen it touched a windowsphone in your lives, una go dey vex.



Wait, Did you guys even know IOS lacks Bluetooth, file manager, Nfc? Things WP has!
Did you know IOS lacks true multitasking?
Did you know you can't download music anyhow on IOS?

What do IOS users do with their devices?


Aswear you guys are noobs

martineverest:
U re Really joking. Bb has less than 1% smartføne user worldwide,while windows is about 4%

That is true. This argument is about less than 5% of all os user. Count me out. Lol. Me I'm a 4 years Android user.

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....
