fados4sure: Guy use Internet instead of using your small circle of friends to judge. Windows phone is less than 5% of the smartphone market worldwide. In the image attached (Q3 2015) its actually 1.7% 1 Like

Limerick: It is true we are all different. My phone is my phone. Used for calls mainly and it has to work. I cannot use an android phone for calls because the hardware it supports is just poor. If I want to do anything visual beyond calls and simple messaging I use a tab like the Samsung Tab 3. With the 10.1 screen it gives you the field of view you need and the fact that I have a life beyond the internet I can let it charge when I work. But my phone has to be on standby 24/7. Android cannot do this. The fact that you have a gazzilion apps on your phone means it is compromised in many other aspects some of which I cannot tolerate. So you don't see me with broken screens, power banks and other rubbish paraphernalia people need to maintain sanity. And as a field person, my voice phone has to be sturdy, enduring and able to take the heat....so it the network that powers it. 1 Like |

miketayo: I don't have the time to indulge you in childish arguements, if its fishy then pls by all means catch the fish! But lemme humor you for a bit. It would appear you glossed over my comment, it doesn't come with any file manager, and like I said the once on the store aren't worth calling a filemanager! So I had to sound like a programmer to reply a simple comment? You would gave prefered i was technical in my reply? Why not indulge me in some programming questions so I can teach you one or two things! And as for whether I have have an s6 or not, I will let you decide that.....if you naturally are a "fly by night" kind of guy, doesn't mean everyone is the same! I have no one here I feel the need to impress by lying.

miketayo: Them putting priority on privacy and security over user experience doesn't make it the most secure, although am not an iPhone enthusiast, I will still say an iPhone is way more secure than a windows phone or Android phone , even the fbi with all their dynamic resources couldn't get through an iphones security, it would appear you are the one lacking the knowledge on the workings of phones operating systems, if you did you would know there are backdoors on windows and android but none on IOS. As for the other guy accusing windows phones of virus, he is probably joking, we all know that's false! 1 Like |

I use a lumia625(windows 8.1) until last month when I had to revert to an android.The issue is Nokia and Microsoft are in agreement hence a limited availability of apps on Nokia store.Also android users are sent periodic requests to upgrade to a higher version but its never the case with windows phones.Now they are on windows 10os and I have never been able to upgrade mine.The browser shuts off at will too.Its not just okay to be candid. |

i have android, ios and windows mobile devices i have been through three windows phones from 520 to 630 to 640xl i really really recommended windows phones in the past. but that was the past when they still had some potential the first thing to consider in any mobile os is the app store windows mobile appstore may as well be on life support. if you are a power user, you will be deeply frustrated at how cross platform apps are either unavailable or severly underperforming on windows mobile. you will also find yourself outside looking in. the apps that are all the rage are not on windows mobile and probably will never be. the last three weeks have been all about pokemon go - not on windows. angry birds action - not on windows. the unpopularity of windows is further showcase in the lack of 'deals'. on ios there are high quality free app deals everyday. this was the case with windows mobile two years ago with my app free, but today the free apps are mostly garbage i stopped trying to use bbm on it because it was always crashing. whatsapp works, but the experience is extremely laggy compared to android. until some recent builds i was getting seriously frusrtated because windows mobile had a bug that led to serious issues if you were using two sims. i would have to reboot the phone 10 times before i could set up a data connection. and if the phone crashed or went off, i would have to do this all over again i had a loooong argument with some windows mobile holdouts some weeks back over these same issues |
