Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Ok..I am tired of my painfully slow galaxy pop now. Planning to get a windows phone. I have come to the WP forum because I want to be convinced that jumping the platform will be really worth. I am really comfortable with android now and would have bought an ICS device if the price wouldnt have been so high. Now, why I want to dump my current phone:
- Painfully slow, even without a lot of apps
- ridiculously low battery life (a little more than 1day; I have to carry an extra battery)
- Mediocre music and bad screen
- Maps and GPS drains off the battery within a short time
I would like to know:
- how the performance is of the currently available devices (Nokia710,800,Samsung Omnia W only)
- how is the battery life
- which has got better music
- how much difference will I get in a TFT, AMOLED and an S-AMOLED display
- Is there anything that Android can do and WP cannot?

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Dude... there is a huge list of things which a WP7 phone can't do, and which an Android can.
We already had many discussions (aka fights) over it. You will find threads if you search a little. I request not to ask this particular question here, since it would be really off-topic to discuss them here.

Performance is something in which WP is better than android. No lag at all . beautiful and smooth ui.
- how is the battery life
again better than android
- which has got better music
this depends on the phone
- how much difference will I get in a TFT, AMOLED and an S-AMOLED display
depends on your needs. some people are ok with tft . but 800's amoled and omnia w' s-amoled definitely look better
- Is there anything that Android can do and WP cannot?
yes. if you want a PC replacement then android should be your choice. but as a smartphone WP is perfect.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
I have a very noobish doubt regarding WP: Is google maps available for WP (7, mango and upwards)?
If not any chances it'll be available soon?
PS: I love WP, but I love Google maps too. when I ran a google search, the results were inconclusive. There seem to be some third party apps that bring the GMaps functionality to WP, but the app refused to install from google's official page.
On a related note, how good is Nokia maps for intra city navigation (Bangalore if possible) as compared to Gmaps (not the routing feature, I'm just concerned with the quality of maps. i.e., details) ?
Any info will be greatly helpful.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Gmaps is available which uses google maps. So you can buy WP without worrying about maps
I'm using gmaps everyday. Btw, Nokia maps are good at least in delhi

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Thanks a lot for the prompt responses
@ssk: Does nokia maps have comparable detail level? especially the bus stops (thats the one that bothers me the most)
Anyways I guess its a redundant question now that I know I can use google's maps on WP. Waiting for the WP8.
