Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Hey guys, i cant decide whether i should jump to the Windows 8 bandwagon. Planning to buy the Lumia 720, but am kinda scared to change my platform from Android JB...i was a Xperia SP user till i lost it few days back...i cant spend much money on high end phones, so i thought if i were to go mid-range (like XPeria L) maybe the Win 8 phones will be better..
Can u all share ur thoughts through experience as to how Win 8 is better than Android JB

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
I wont say Win 8 is better than Android or vice-versa.
I'm using Lumia 620 for 3 Months and I'm just loving it and not missing my old LG Optimus One.
One thing I have realized is that, one should choose WP8 instead of Android if budget is not more than 15k.
Because, max. manufacturers are packing JB / ICS with 512MB RAM which is not at all sufficient and starts lagging after few days.
Where as WP8 run smooth on 512MB RAM. One will just love the Touch Sensitivity of Nokia Lumia phones.
Regarding apps on WP8, leaving aside all the rumors, I'd say, WP8 has all the basic apps present and still developing each day.
So if you are not a app junkie, you won't going to have any problem with Apps on WP8.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
@gearbox..ill search ur post...
this digit forum should have a FB like Notification thing, where we are notified that we have been responded or replied etc etc
@Krishnandu...Is the 720 worth the purchase over 620. The 720 looks bulky
and has the same SoC as the 620...same gaming performance, same speed.
How is the battery and camera quality difference between the two? And these two are mere Rs2000 apart in price
By the way, on a side note, my friend has a Lumia 520, brand new.Like 5 days old or so.
He dropped it while talking on the phone, the phone was pressed to his ear whaile talking so i guess that will be approx 5 feet6 inch height drop.
The screen smashed ...and he is holding the screen together with a strong Screen Cover. So sad for him. And the crack isnt like those long hard cracks u see in gorilla glass. Its actually shattered into tiny splinters, like a vehicles windshield shatters into small tiny glass pieces.
Lesson learned---> SAY NO IF NO GORILLA....

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Depends on your usage. The main difference is the Camera I guess. So it's up to you whether you want to invest that extra for camera? Also note that after the update coming next month, all Lumia will get the FM, but not 620 as it doesn't have the chipset altogether.

How did you rate it?
Bigger battery, something like 30% better. And a better camera. And FM radio and bigger screen. Now you decide.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
@ujjwal : Guess the phone fell face down . 5+ feet drop is a LOT for a phone. usually phone are dropped from waist down height, chair height or table height, or in my case, bed height Every morning my phone is scattered on the floor
@ Gearbox..cant find ur post..
I think my final decision will depend on the apps on Windows Marketplace. Ill do some research, see if my fav apps are there on Win 8.
Could anyone of u write down the good apps you are using on ur Win 8 phone..

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Has anyone tried to connect Lumia to a Linux machine? Whenever I try to connect my phone to Ubuntu, it automatically tries to mount the phone as camera.
Is there any way to prevent it?

Quad core is not supported yet, not until GDR 3. So it couldnt possibly ship with it.
