[b]Na wao o, OP! please do some research & try to experience a Lumia phone , haba!..how can you say something like that its so surprising & maybe annoying how the OP makes a Lumia phone look very ordinary , like maybe a "3310"?? Old folks alone use lumia like seriously ...how is that even possible ? when most young folks that use android fones, do not even know their way around a windows phone , Yes its true! . most of the post on this thread confirms it, a lot of what most nigerians say about windows phone is from ignorance. how can some1 say you don"t have Bluetooth & NFC in windows phone haba!, the last time I checked (5mins ago) the almighty IPhone got no Bluetooth & NFC, & no one talks about that or maybe Op does not know that. Someone say they can not download or upload pics on Nairaland?? even with internet explorer 11 ?? not to talk about UC browser & opera mini?? or the new edge browser,.. that's simply because u don't know your way around windows phone please ..its annoying ...ask for help , we have a windows phone thread on Nairaland visit please . and then someone talking about banking apps, please like some other windows phone user posted, the apps are there, well most of them (basic apps) & there are third party apps to get you there , personally I do internet banking & I don't even bother to use apps, I use the native browser (Internet explorer 11 or Edge) & its cool for me, cause it feels like I never left my laptop or pc, I get full functionality. that's my preference. someone was even saying you cannot open pdf files on windows phone what?? that's like an american saying "Africa is full of monkeys", just because he/she has never visited Africa. even with my 9210 or 9300 nokia communicator running Symbian or my Xda exec running windows mobile 5, I open word & PDF files, how much more windows 8.1 OS, please love Android if u will ,but don't play down lumia like that . Then Imagine someone comparing multitasking in Lumia 925 to Samsung S6 why would you do that?? you should have first list the specification of both phones & the year of production & see if its fair , the both phones are at least 3yrs apart , its not a fair comparison to start with, but I bet you the camera on the lumia 925 would match up with that on the S6, if not beat it Yes you can talk about Apps, yeah maybe more apps on Android & IOS, because they are a more open OS so developers rush in & then all sorts of apps both useful & useless are pushed in exposing the OS to viruses & malware. Personally I don't look for much apps , the basic apps & a few third party apps get me going, after all among the numerous apps , how many can u really put in your phone. If Android works for you fine! If its IOS fine! If its BB fine! & if its windows phone or windows mobile Fine too! but don't spread stories without fact or proper research . And to answer your question, I use a Lumia & am not Elderly and I use my phone for the following make calls send texts, receive mails, send mails with attachment, listen to music, create word & EXCEL documents , view presentations, Open & convert PDFs, snap pictures, record videos & make toy home videos, scan documents (I no longer use my scanner), watch movies, play mild games, find my way around (Maps & Navigation), chat on social media, do online banking & purchase, flight bookings, post on naira land, keep record of finances & daily expense, stay updated about my interest in life..etc. ..Please OP windows phone or lumia phones are not useless, because they not working for you. I once saw a DP on BBM & it read ; IPhone is for Rich people, Android is for Every person on the street, Windows phone is for the Educated & classy. Its just choice , if everything was the same we would not appreciate diversity[/b][/color][color=#000099] 10 Likes |

I was using a lumia fone before, then the screen broke and I had to buy this android fone running kit kat. Now I see windows phones and Im like wow. Once I have enuff money I'm going to throw this trash android into the bin and get a windows phone. Android phones are trash. Over complicated bullshi.t. My life is complicated enuff for me with my engineering research work. I don't need a phone to complicate it more for me. Though a windows phone cannot do many things an android phone can do (tho it can do most functions)once you get the hang of it it has its simplicity and ease of you going for it. Summary: Android is for teenagers windows phone is for grown ups |

walexy30:Lazy boy. If windows have it believe it, Android has it more with choices and better ones. I hope you understood the DP about the classification. Android is for every person. Meaning for the Rich, you and the professionals. You will see an android phone more expensive than iphone, you will see Android phone more cheaper than Lumia. Android as a word is a robotic machine that mimic anything it sees. I can make my android phone look and work like your Lumia. All these guys talking here and there about droid being weak are just trying to please what they have. Come let me show you the way. You talk about batteries on Lumia. How many processes are on with the OS? Oh about data? You found yourself too lazy to sacrifice the same time you use to explore your Lumia to conserve data on Android? That's a big sin too. @ the S4 user. Touchwiz is a pile of shyt. Throw Samsung Touchwiz to your toilet or pull out the silly OS and install Cynogenmod to experience Android. Or go buy another phone outside Samsung. To the person who talked about buying Infinix or Tecno. Does it means that Android = Tecno/Infinix? 1 Like |

2pointsonly: NFC sharing is strictly done between Windows Phone to Windows Phone and Android to Android. Although some tech heads have found a way to make transferring web pages and contacts work between the different platforms, it is still a limited functionality as Android and Windows Phone are two different platforms entirely. So 2pointsonly's assumption that Microsoft made their Lumia devices that way to make interacting with other devices hard is wrong, as Android devices also have that same problem. BlackBerry devices do have NFC hardware, but Android Beam can’t send files with them. Also, you can't share files from an iPhone to any other device using NFC. And I don't see you blaming Apple for that. Android, iPhone, and Windows Phone all have their own different ways of sending files and they don’t like interacting with each other. This is a known fact. You can't blame Microsoft for being solely responsible for what other platforms are also guilty of. 2pointsonly, take note. |

What i have to say here is that EVERYBODY has his/her own reasons, choices and decisions to make on his/her choice for Technology. I advice that you go for a phone you LOVE, which you know that it can meet "your" need, demand and the demands of the future. Remember technology improves everyday. (Remember that ordinary NOKIA 3310/MOTOROLA BLADE/SAGEM X7 was once sold for 100k, and people love n bought them happily then, but you won't even price them at all now). Mind you, i've been Whatsapping, Facebooking, 2going and doing many more and still counting with my Nokia 301 JAVA phone. Na my choice n i like am like that. It minimizes my cost on data and...help me add the rest... |
