To begin with, clarify that it is not a Taliban article that talks about freedoms or the lack of them; in fact, this is something that many users who love Symbian who by trying to stay with their favorite company ended up hating the step they took and, together, in Google+ created the list of 101 reasons not to use windows phone.
In fact, it is quite funny to see how they relate it because if you read it carefully, you realize that, believe it or not ... it lacks things that a $ 50 phone has and that are basic ... and others that don't really matter, you know , that of "Lacks Java applications«; pfftt, as if that were necessary xD ...
101 reasons not to use Windows Phone
OS limitations
1. No multitasking on third-party applications. They stay frozen in the background.
2. It does not support Divx / Xvid video codecs. Zune converts them, losing quality.
3. It does not have mass storage mode (use of the terminal memory as a disk drive)
4. It does not support micro-SD cards.
5. Only supports up to 16GB of storage.
6. It lacks a file manager. The directory system is completely opaque.
7. You need Zune to transfer files. And the Zune only transfers photos, videos, and music. The other types of files must be sent by email to yourself or uploaded to the cloud.
8. Your contact details are automatically uploaded to the cloud service, whether you want to or not.
9. A single resolution: 800 × 480 pixels.
10. Voice search is linked to Bing.
11. You cannot use any MP3 file as a ringtone, except for some with strict limitations.
12. You cannot use a static IP address, which prevents you from connecting to ad-hoc networks.
13. A 'corporate phone' that does not support VPN networks.
14. You cannot sync directly with Outlook without doing it with the cloud.
15. Totally closed operating system, it does not allow to load applications directly without going through the MS Marketplace.

22. Only supports photos as attachments to mail, but not documents.
23. Bluetooth lacks the rSAP protocol, which is the most common for streaming in car radios.
24. Can't send audio from videos to Bluetooth devices (does not have A2DP)
25. It does not allow full encryption on the device itself which requires secure applications such as mobile banking and online payments.
26. Does not allow using a Bluetooth keyboard.
27. You cannot silence the ringer or alarm by turning the phone over.
28. Very few customization options.
29. Cannot upgrade to Windows Phone 8 (Apollo)Ease of handling issues
30. The status bar for battery life, signal strength, carrier, 2G / 3G / WiFi, Bluetooth, is not always visible.
31. The task manager does not offer the possibility of closing the applications that we do not want to have running in the background.
32. Search and Back buttons cannot be deactivated in apps or games and can easily be activated by accident, interrupting the user experience.

35. The font size in messages is too small for people over 45.
36. The playlist can only be modified while listening. Adding songs is difficult and unintuitive.
37. Long titles in video and audio playlists are cut off.
38. The permanent search button is mostly useless because it only activates the web search through Bing, but it does not work to search for documents on the phone.
39. The music player can only be paused, but not closed. The player remains on the lock screen until it restarts. You have to be careful not to touch it during a meeting.
40. There is no progress bar that can be dragged while listening to a song, nor indication of the order that the song occupies in an album.
41. Screen orientation cannot be locked.
42. Online contacts are mixed with those on the phone, without the possibility of filtering each other.
43. Dialing is laborious, without smart dialing. You cannot enter letters in the dialer to search for a contact.

61. It does not capture screens or have applications to do so.
62. It does not have wallpaper auto-changer or applications for it.
63. The OS is completely closed, so it does not support apps that interact directly with the hardware. This leaves out a lot of useful apps.

74. The availability of apps varies greatly from country to country, and users are limited to a single market.
75. Not all Bing features are available outside of the US.It seems like a lie
76. A volume adjustment common to all functions: multimedia listening, ringtones, alarms, notifications.
77. WiFi disconnects when screen turns off. Too bad if it catches you mid-discharge.
78. If you receive a text message while talking on the phone, the audio alert will make you deaf. Any other phone discreetly alerts you.
79. Only one mobile phone number can be entered for each contact. Mobile numbers entered in other fields do not accept SMS.

I do not share sources or names because everything comes from the initiative of users in Google+ and I do not feel with the right to disclose their identities on the social network, I hope you understand.
I will never trust Windows for mobiles, history proves me right. I had a PDA with Windows Mobile and I stopped using it because of the operating system, whoever designed that Windows should be in jail for incompetent ... I do not expect Windows Phone to be different, and if this list of defects is true, they have not done yes not screw it up even more.
Anyway, once again it is clear that Microsoft exists thanks to its Windows for PC, otherwise it would have been extinct long ago, and very deservedly, by the way.
History also tells you not to trust the Germans ????? mondie chaval… ..
No, but maybe he says that dictatorships are not good, do you understand?
Hahaha incompetent says haha you have no idea skinny. Keep in mind that it is an operating system that is still being polished, and androidists like you are smelling it because Nokia is the future! Along with Windows.
I have never tried Windows Phone, but if this is true, what a disgusting system (for obvious reasons, I know without the "operating").

Why if I'm on ArchLinux, my comments say I'm on Windows 7? ._.
Chrome UserAgent 🙂
Thanks, it was more or less solved x)
😀 a pleasure.
El user agent Chrome by default in Arch Linux shows the Tux icon, nor in a parallel world would it show Windows, so don't be a liar and admit that you are a religious windowsero-fanatic of the Church of Gates.
You are absolutely right, here is a screenshot that shows how liar and Windows-ero I am, great piece of shit: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-DXOvyY3AtZQ/T7Z_ExSYitI/AAAAAAAADLQ/moQEikw61BM/s800/arch.jpg
I also know how to use Photoshop. 😀
And the first comment was a joke, in case you hadn't noticed. 😛
It is not necessary to call some shit, with troll it would have been enough ahahahh
How weird, I was reading all these stupid things and really only a crazy person would need to use that garbage can that they say, I am satisfied with this operating system, I really differ completely and it causes even laughter to think that people use all these pods so they will not sleep, they will not eat and much less have a little powder with your beloved ... greetings and do not give yourself a bad life for what is not so necessary ...
Naguara, so you don't use the phone at all, give it to a poor child ...
Come on fanboys, throw shit on the things that you have not even tried as you always do ... but it's good to Apple that you lick his ass with his iOS.
Here's one who knows enough about OS to be clear:
1. Windows in any mode (PC, Phone, etc) is a complete disaster.
2. iOS is a jail, by default it does not allow to do what an advanced user wants.
If you are more knowledgeable about systems than I do, please explain your point of view.
I just have one thing to add, KZKG: http://goo.gl/YcHSP xD
You're a bit pretentious, you seem like the inventor of operating systems.
Microsoft has had several great advances in the definition of operating systems,
Windows 3.0
Windows NT 4
Windows 7
These three operating systems are robust and fast, the remains, the unstable, the blue screen are mere intermediate systems to make cash. and this is assured by a Software Architect, one of those who stick with it and provide solutions that would never work with Linux, because he has done it and has discovered that it is totally unproductive in professional environments.
Windows for tablajo teams
UNIX for servers (and some versions, like AIX or SOLARIS have bugs that windows server would never allow)
Regarding mobiles, I have changed a Galaxy Nexus for a Lumia 900 and I am very happy, because although it has to evolve, what it has and does, it does well and quickly, without the need for dual-core processors and gigabytes of memory.
And I think you have great paradigms in your mind because "UNIX for servers" is quite silly ... Windows "productivity" is not given by its "quality" but because being in a privileged and almost monopolistic position, obviously you have to use what the masses use, but little by little things are changing and I cannot share that square idea from the 90's that "UNIX is only for servers" ... when we have seen that a lot of field has been opened in the desktop working environment
go….
and if win7 was so good ... why did they make win8?
or is it very silly what I'm saying
: )
Nooooooooo !! Do not make that comment again, an update does not strictly mean that the previous version was bad, only that advances have been made both in the environment and in the core itself. The truth is I am neutral because my security solutions are always on a linux environment, but I still use Windows servers because the handling of the terminal for my users is always friendlier because of years and years of using Windows, so no I can complain about neither one. As for mobile systems, I know, I know a lot, the versatility of Android over Windows Phone, I mean, it is a system as functional for a cell phone, as for a tablet, a PC, a Laptop, even a video game console; but even so, I know that Microsoft's pretentious advance with Windows Phone and Windows 8 is going from strength to strength with the new touch environment, but when sales of touch devices soared in such percentages as soon as Win8 was launched. It is only the humble opinion of someone who works several operating systems at the same time. Thank you.
If you defend Windows arguing that it works with several operating systems at the same time, at least and finally, do it from a Safari on Mac, but I see that it does it from an incompatible Internet explorer on Windows.
A funny thing about winderos is that they always take "sales" as an argument and it makes me laugh because if it were for "sales" in cars, the Bugatti Veyron would have nothing to do against a Toyota Corolla.
Good heavens, "software architect"? I won't stop laughing between now and the end of the month. Drinking alcohol combined with various psychotropics leaves poor Windosers perfectly morons without any neurons. »Unproductive in professional settings»? hahahaha, you are an expert in petty and involuntary humor, and the "professional environment" in which Windows is useful for something is in pharmacies, supermarkets or seveneleven oxxos: to get bad accounts, in Windows 98 or Xp although they are doing well. Hahahahaha fabulous!
You read too arrogant that because you know a lot about OS. For ordinary people it is only to use a few characteristics, that each person uses what they like. I know people who still use Lotus, very much their taste. Windows on Desktop is still a standard, MacOS is elegant and Linux in any of its distributions seems to be taken from a street market. Remember that people go easy / pretty, that is why even if you say that Ubuntu or Suse are super kind, they have not even come close to the growth of Mac OS and to connect a camera or a scanner is a fart and nobody leaves to wear out looking for drivers so that your Hardware works halfway.
The one that if my respects for its benefits, for being fully mature and fully rounded in the services (Google, Youtube, gmail) is Android. Far is the best of all mobile systems. and it is the one with the best benefits. the only bad thing is that the terminals are always inferior in Hardware and perhaps the only one that does represent a cost / benefit balance is the Sony Xperia line. Because the costs of the Galaxy SII and SIII are much higher than those of Nokia's Lumia line ... Android has abandoned that segment selling terminals with Gingerbread or even Froyo and with mobiles running at 800 Mhz and 192 in ram when the Lumia almost double them in speed and memory. I don't know what would have happened if they put android into a Lumia, so if it would be a really competitive phone
Is connecting a camera difficult? I better not argue with you, you really have no idea what you say
Comparing it with Windows if it is difficult, or to connect a bluetooth bundle, or certain hardware that does not have support for Linux, you have to click the driver in the forums .. Besides being third-party software it does not give you the same benefits, camera was a trivial example, the hardware itself is not that simple to install on Linux for a nobel user. BTW if I had read your article about 10 days before I would not have asked for the lumia that I have haha. Cheers
Under normal circumstances I'm an Ubuntu user (I'm at work right now), and let me tell you that many devices are still lazy when it comes to compatibility. For example, I have a digitizing tablet (Genius brand, my economy can't do it anymore) and to use it I need to do it in Windows because, although the driver EXISTS and is from Genius itself, it does not adequately detect sensitivity or inclination, and also does not it detects the device on startup (you have to run a small script every time I restart the machine). It's not like it's anything to write home about, either, but for a user without much preparation, all of that sounds like black magic. Windows works for my father and his small business, for my mother and her online gardening courses, and for my little cousins who just want to play plants VS zombies and get on Facebook. I am a developer by profession and I have Debian and Ubuntu in their latest versions working on my machine, coexisting peacefully with Windows 7 and an attempt at Hackintosh (Snow Leopard). Less fanaticism and more logic.
It's what I was referring to. And although they are not "pigeonholed", all the servers that you mount in a company run on Linux. I know what I'm talking about because I have been using all three OS for almost 20 years. On desktop there is simply no presence. Nor will there be. Sometimes customs take root and how to explain to a windows / mac user that in linux there is no Photosop and that he has to use gimp, that there is no office and that he has to use open office. Years ago they wanted to make the change due to licensing costs and the one that ruined everything was the msn messenger. There was no client that was satisfactory for the executives and they asked to return to Windows with everything and the expense that means: /
In fact, you are behaving like a whole FanBoy coming here to piss off others ... Doesn't your behavior seem counterproductive? Do yourself a favor and don't make a fool of yourself.
One reason is enough for me not to use Windows Phone, which is the same for not using iPhone or Android. Come, think a bit, see if someone can guess what it is.
You are Richard Stallman.
there is no varus to buy one of those
It is symbian because it is complete, open and does not use mucosa resources
Well honestly, the list seems made by people who have NOT used WP7 for real. And I say this as an Android user who has had a WP7 development for a while (and with the operating system unpolished, so some things were missing that later they added in the final version) and about the times that I have spent using others WP7.
Seriously, I start reading the list and I already find false things, such as the multitasking issue, the one that cannot be updated (that has been taken out of the sleeve like that for the good), that cannot be addressed Fixed IP, that the phone cannot be charged if it is turned off, that the idle screen does not show anything ... no, seriously, it seems like a list made by people who have touched the system a little above and that's it, and not even if want the current version. It is as if we now make a list of «101 reasons not to use Android» and we base ourselves on Donut.
There are also many things on the list that correspond to the visual style of the operating system, such as that it is not very customizable (okay, that is true), but that the headers are very large? It will be in some applications. Normal that if you have never been interested in the subject you do not know the reason for some things (pivot mode, panorama mode).
Seriously, before you drop bile on the platform, you should give it a try. Linux users complain a lot that people think that our operating system is difficult or that the console is needed for everything, but we are not short of prejudices either when we deal with some technological issues.
Of course, if all the things that appear in this were true, no one would have even bought a windows phone.
It gave me more than anything laugh; It is clear that this came from G + and not directly from the opinion of anyone on the Staff, I see it more as a humorous article than something serious ... anyway, I am not interested in Windows Phone because nothing it offers calls me attention
I have a team with WP 7.5 and have actually verified a lot of the things that they say on the list. I cannot put a fixed IP. What you do not see anything on the lock screen is the other way around, it really is that you do not see the status of the battery or connection unless you are on the lock screen, which is precisely what the article says. The detail that it could not be updated was provided in some Nokia that came out and said at the time that they would not support WP8. They say this was later reversed, but I don't know if it's true or not.
I am a current WP user and I fully agree with you, the phones will not be useful for what it has, not for the user's need, such as how many IOS and Android users take advantage of 100% of the equipment, since none since Many of us buy equipment to simply say I have one, as the partner said, the WP7 phone if it is multitasking, so that having in terms of customization is enough for me since it saves me battery is one of the reasons why WP7 little customizable, they were based on Battery saving and, in other words, why have thousands of applications if none is for daily use, I better take out the most important ones and put them on the market place. Cheers!
Good Morning.
From the list there are things that it is true that cannot be done, but they are mere aesthetic issues. You may or may not like the type of user interface of Windows Phone.
Personally, I value functionality more than aesthetics: I would prefer a Windows Phone with these limitations but fluid to another that you can customize as you want and that is left thinking every two by three (even up to 10 seconds of clock) and suddenly responds to everything I have hit him at once and therefore he does things that I did not want him to do.
Modern UI seems excellent in some aspects, such as the contact hub where you see the entire virtual relationship at all times and with each contact and in which you can interact. One pass, come on.
But precisely for the same reason, because I value functionality more than aesthetics, I cannot go to Windows Phone after seeing very important deficiencies such as:
- Manual IP (when you travel and in a hostel or hotel you cannot connect because of this, you are going to tell me why I want this function). Disabling DHCP is one more wireless security option.
- Download files from the Internet. Really, I find it unfortunate that at a given moment I cannot download a driver or whatever I want.
- Different volumes for ringtones and multimedia. This any phone does, even those Chinese brands of dubious quality.
A mobile phone for me is my computer when I'm not at home. If we start to layer things, we better stay in the 90s with monochrome screens, which at least the battery lasted for days and days.
So despite the fact that Windows Phone seems to me a good system, and Android the Windows of mobile phones (well, how do the tables turn) due to its terrible implementation (nothing to do with desktop distros - I'm a 99% Linux user since 2006 with Ubuntu 6.06, now with Mint- or for servers), while eliminating its deficiencies (or not, we'll see) I have to continue with Android.
A greeting.
I, Kike, owner of a Nokia Lumia 520 assure you that I cannot configure a static IP nor can I charge the mobile off. If you can do it, I'd love to see how. Other data, it is impossible to synchronize the date / clock in many cases
I, the holder of a Nokia Lumia 530, a predecessor of the one you have but with some small cosmetic changes, I can tell you that everything you say is false.
I have been using WP for two years and it is an aaco I use it by obligation in my work and I reiterate wp is a disgusting so
And I thought that for the price it had to be brilliant, I was an android user but having to pay for an mp3 program and other things, I switched to blackberry, maybe it is not the most advanced but it is simple and that is enough for many , the win mobile got to get me out of the boxes more than once, also it was always archaic compared to the competition
For the umpteenth time Windows Mobile has nothing to do with Windows Phone
That war is also carried out by me and ignorance is impossible, by the way it seems that a comment has been deleted.
Withdrawal if the msg is not because it did not come out but this
The first thing I have to say is that those who made this list started looking for information on the web and because of that there seems to be a lot of misinformation, they are not based on their experience.
I'm on Android right now, until a few weeks ago I was on Windows Phone and before I was with Apple.
From the list I have pointed out the following that I can tell you are false, 11, 21, 22, 29, 30, 42, 48, 65 and 81.
I use those functions in WP. If you wonder why I left Windows Phone it was definitely not because of the OS but because of the hardware and it turns out that the hardware is wonderful but it was a Samsung Focus Flash which has a 3.7 ″ screen and as I already had the Samsung Galaxy S II it was for the The only reason I came back, my experience was wonderful, so much so that I turned off the SGS2 for the months that I had it, I passed it to a friend that his only experience with smartphones has been the Blackberry and I must say that it is very bad. very happy.
Now, the truth is that many of the things that are on the list are true but also many are irrelevant, at the end of the day what is important is the user experience and, as far as I know, it is not. based on specifications on paper. Windows Phone is a recent platform and that is very good, what I loved the most was its magnificent fluidity and keyboard, both lines I consider above Apple and well above Android.
As you can see, I don't like the idea of saying who is better or worse, but rather that technology must adapt to user needs. I hope that Windows Phone improves, and that its improvements are substantial because at the end of the day it benefits us all. If you have the opportunity, open your minds and try for yourself.
As you like to argue about which system is better. The important thing is that everyone does their job (everyone who understands it however they want :-P).
Don't be water flames.
That was not my intention. I hope no one is cut off because of my humble comment ;-).
It seems funny to me because it's true, all systems do the same thing but in different ways xD
101? so few? if that doesn't matter, what matters is that many people see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_jwdaEKwcs
and say I wish:)
Matter of taste, but WPhone sank Nokia with its "prostitute" who was one of the worst cell phones was much better the N9. The history of Nokia hurts.
What sunk nokia was the lack of innovation and its put ... symbian xD, archaic as few ahaha.
So as not to stay without saying anything ... screw Microsoft XDD
LOL!!! Amen haha
Time passed and you continue with your square wheel, adapt to archaic one-armed innovation.

It's always fun to watch Linux, Windows, and Mac users ground each other saying that their operating system is better than the rest. We should certainly stop criticizing ourselves and let everyone use their free will in SO.
Each system is useful for something, and some are disgusting in other things.
I use the three systems mentioned above at home, at work and at leisure xD.
So it seems to me that all is not lost (yet).
Some things will be lies or will be outdated, the truth is that the OS of the window is pathetic in all its forms.
Interesting, I did not read everything but there is something that I do not trust is windows and not because I am a Taliban but from experience.
but the truth is that windows at the moment is a good game console.
although almost always I only play megaglest from my laptop with LMDE.
No catches my attention
There is an article with criteria yes sir …… my mother what to read….
Totally closed operating system, it does not allow to load applications directly without going through the MS Marketplace .—– >>> FOR THIS REASON IT DOES NOT HAVE MALWARE… ..
Let's see if we write something with more criteria OBJECTIVE…. do you know what it is???
"Objective criterion", those words make me think a lot without a doubt. It is clear that if you cannot install third party things then why do I call it a personal phone. Also that metro style reminds me of power point with effects.
Salu2
Can't you install third-party things? Who told you that? You can't install anything that isn't given the OK, by the way, for that reason IPhone and WP don't have Malware …… anyway….
There is talk of "objective criteria" and you say that Iphone does not have Malware when in fact it is the second or third most attacked ...
Yes, of course, this is not a bad champion, of three OS that dominate the market, the first with 75% is android, what are the other two that remain? Let's see if you find out specialist ......
I INSIST YOU ARE A CRACK …… hahahahahahahahaha
By the way, since you know what you write, do you think 75% malware is a lot or a little? …… 🙂
http://www.enter.co/seguridad/el-75-del-malware-movil-esta-dirigido-a-android/
tell me to see ……
This does not seem like a 75% reason not to use android ?????
I fear that soon we will say: "Reciescat In Pace, Nokia." 101 Reasons I'll Never Use Windows Phone.
Thanks, Nano.
Yes, of course, it is like what we have been hearing that linux will be imposed on windows from the graphical installation of RedHat, what are you going to say… .. I think that when Android sales fall and the Iphone and Windows Phone grow, we are closer to hear it from others …… .. Come on, it's like asking a Madridista to speak well of Barça, thank you Nano for making your criteria clear to us… ..
Foolish people who don't read. It did not come from me or anyone on the staff, it is something taken from things that people wrote in G + and then put together, whether they are true or false matters a cucumber ...
You are half an animal if you don't understand something so simple.
Nano champion, if there is some animal here, that is you, if you write things that you don't even contrast, in the end what happens to you is that you look like the fucking ass ... .. and your credibility is at the height of the bitumen, I guarantee that I read and I guarantee that I know what I'm talking about with contrasted things, not with "something taken from things that people wrote in G +" ... ..
WHAT A CRACK …….
You can take it however you want, but you are a wounded fanboy who comes to a Linuxeros blog to fight ...
I'll tell you again, learn to read and not take things so personal or want to seem like a super intellectual being, that just seeing you around here one knows what you're trying to do ...
Anyway, whatever you want.
Easy boy… easy 😉
You don't have the slightest idea what I'm trying to do, you don't know what I'm doing here, they gave me a link full of lies that seems to come from a guy who doesn't check his sources, when you write, take care of your reputation, nor am I interested in your world, nor will it interest me, it has never had a future and for me it never will, live happily in your world champion….
…. simply when you write, write truths, I insist your credibility will not be damaged….
as you say…. as you like
@Perico: I repeat, ardent and half gross fanboy who still does not understand that it is an article oriented to Humor.
That my world has no future or that you believe that it is, good for you. "My world" is the one that actually sustains yours. I leave it until here, that it is not good to argue with noobs.
Goodbye champion.
(This comes from below, as I am forbidden to answer I put it here)
noob? hahahahahaha don't take things for granted about people you don't know, you show how ignorant you are…. with this post you do look like a Noob,
does your world hold mine ??? which pill did you take the red or the blue one ... I think you got confused ...
Hey nano… You would have started by saying that your article is oriented to humor !! (as you said to perico)… so I don't waste time reading you and rather I would read it to make me sleepy… I was expecting seriousness, responsibility and impartiality !! It turns out that it is "humor" like many pages that infest the network!
What I do not quite understand is that, if you are fans of Windows and its products and also fanboys, why do they come to a Linux blog to comment that they did not like the article? Could it be that they feel alluded to every time they speak ill of an operating system that, in addition to being bad and annoying, has nothing special to offer beyond games?
If someone finds it boring, bad, biased, stupid or uncomfortable, great, as long as they come, read, comment and follow that plan, the blog wins simply because they are giving it better positioning in Google ... Ineptos xD
Something important to keep in mind is that Microsoft like Apple have groups of people (very well paid) specialists in the image, even more than good designers.
The changes in humanity and its states are divided into several parts to better understand them, we are currently in one; control society, minimalist generation, and entering an alter-modernist era (after post-modernism). this carries a lot of weight when developing a product and is a very long topic.
In the future when comparing the three mobile OS, for the image and the printing, people will choose Windows 7.
Well, although it is true, many of the points are not true, although the vast majority are, I am not completely satisfied with the OS but we will have to wait for a fix, by Windows, something like a services pack for wp7.5 .XNUMX. What does bother me is the list of contacts, because they upload everything you have on the network, it does not separate them, order only those from the phone and not link them with the accounts. Share files via Bluetooth, why only with zune? If I want someone to pass me a file instantly? These are some of my reasons, why the OS still does not convince me
I have read the complete list, I have a Lumia 800, I come from Android and iOS and I have to say several things:
1 - GO A LOT OF LIES, it shows that they have not used a windows phone, that things are in another place, it does not mean that they are not, haha they are simply in a much more handy place. the only certain thing is that they are not where they are used to, so I decided for him. I don't need an app to do everything, nor a thousand icons, one for each nonsense… everything is united !! investigate. many others are obsolete because they already work in Tango, even in 7.5, as if android did everything in its first version ...
2 - GO A LOT OF CHORRADAS, that the contacts are going to the cloud, that the status bar is not always visible ... THANKS FOR ALL OF THIS, MICROSOFT !! The orientation can not be blocked ... it turns out that I was up to the huev ... of android for this reason why I could not be comfortable lying down with the mobile, and look where it does not happen to me now, because it turns the necessary, not everything, again THANKS! ! and I could debate almost all of them, and the ones that I am missing ... or they are fixed with jailbreak (it goes as in iOS) or other tp have it as the alarm that only the Nokia did and yes, it was cool, I recognize it.
Go to hell !!! It is neither better nor worse, each user is different and for me that I have a SOCIAL LIFE I NEED A SOCIAL MOBILE not one that yes, I can do anything I WOULD NOT DO IN A MOBILE XQ I WOULD LOSE TIME !!
Yesterday I turned on my galaxy again, and just entering the contacts I already realized ... how ugly and impractical it is for me (PERSONAL OPINION) this !!!
greetings to all, I hope you understand that the variety is the taste and that what for some is bad, for others is the reason for choosing such a product ... you just have to respect yourself.
esteemed with much respect please stop lying.
Example 14. You cannot sync directly to Outlook without doing it to the cloud.
Please, if you don't use it and they only use copy and paste from other pages, don't give your opinion, in addition to the fact that the majority who think badly only use it in the store and this is because it is only enough for a low-end cell phone …… .. I have a lumia 800 and with all the criteria I can say that it has never been frozen as in android and its applications work perfectly and if there is better it is obviously an OS but it makes a difference, I say it as a user in accordance with wp mango.
best regards, Alejandro.
Companion, when do I give an opinion on whether it is or is not? I clearly say that it makes me laugh and that it does not represent anything of any of those in charge of the site ... I do not know, it seems humor more than everything and if it was true or not, it does not interest me in the least because I simply do not like anything that be related to microsoft ... Already?
LINUX FANBOY! (… I like it too but it's not like being allergic to Windows. Why did we enter a Linux forum? Because when I googled "windows phone" to download the SDK in my work, this xD appeared)
Hmm ... I just got the Lumia 800; It is true that there are several things or a thousand things to work on but it is its first version!
As for the rest, I am very satisfied with my purchase, in general I must say that the user experience is very good !!!
I have never used windows phone but those reasons above sound bad, the bad thing is that Nokia included it in their equipment and I was a loyal follower of symbian, the other mobile system I use is iOS and several of the reasons above too They are in the iOS but they are solved with the jailbreak, I don't know if there will be a hack for Windows Phone although there are some features that cannot be improved, such as the SD slots for memory expansion, but in my opinion I prefer only the internal memory since I did very badly with Android and its SD slots: \
regards
windows mobile was incredible until 6.5 ... you could do everything there, even schedule the changes you wanted through the system folders.
Disgusting that windows phone is that bad!
They even got the bucket !! .. as a Nokia user (I have the Lumia 800) I am half satisfied, because the truth is I expected more for how much I paid, however, the things that my Lumia does, she does incredibly well !!. I hope this system continues to improve and is not forgotten .. greetings
I just bought a htc surround with windows 7.5 tango, and if I had seen this post before I would not have made the mistake of buying this mobile with this mediocre operating system everything that the post says is true, it bothers me that I cannot put my mp3 of ringtones and even more so that the multimethy volume is for everything, the alarms do not sound, I return to my defy with cm7 that is fucking great and lets me do whatever I want.
I think criticizing is easy, but it is known that operating OSs are made to fulfill certain functions not to be equal to the competition OS, that is silly that only those who like free software think, it does not let me do this and the other yes, in my OS I can do this in this no. First difference before criticizing an OS, they are of the same type NO, one is open, the other is not, as starting to want to compare them, the Chabeta does not work for them, also not everyone wants to get involved in all the programs to reprogram them or want to make their own applications, get out of that scheme.
PS I am LI in systems I am not in favor of one system or another I have had the opportunity to operate several systems both open and those that do not and again I say not all people like to exploit an OS, we can not make a judgment for the majority of the users.
Well, they are complex issues. Although it should be clarified that this is a compilation that comes out of G + ...
Personally, I don't care what WP7 does or doesn't do, for me it's ugly and emasculating, it doesn't allow you to do anything and I'm sorry but I can't live with such a system. There each one with their tastes at the systems level, I keep what I can control.
Hello everyone, above all I am a user more than anything, I am not interested in programming, and I had the privilege of using the three most controversial systems.
First I had an iPhone and I must say that the experience was a bit boring, if it is a good phone and that is why everyone has it, I do not know if it is papular, but personally I am not interested. When I arrived at a party, I don't know if it happened to them, I took out my iPhone and everyone had the same phone number as me, wow, what an originality to know that your same mobile phone is used by millions and that in a place there 20 people and 15 use the same phone, It's frustrating for me, it's like everyone wearing the same perfume or dressing the same. In general it is a good phone.
I decided to switch to android, since the variety of designs is great and they have a phone for each different style, I personally went with very classic HTC designs and for all styles, I finally achieved my goal that I wanted with respect to the design, but ... unfortunately I can't say the same about my experience with the use of the android OS, first of all it was difficult for me to adapt after having an iphone but I adapted well, however I had many crashes in the appl, and every time I downloaded some other application with ads and advertising, it was downloaded the same from behind, I do not know if it is due to the opening of the system or what but it was not good
Miguel, if you invest a little of all that money you spend on technology, just a little in a spelling and grammar book will be very useful. it's something I tell you sincerely 😉
Hahaha thank you very much !! your opinion has been very helpful 😉
I'm glad Miguel, always to improve… It is a personal suggestion since at the time I also had to buy my book. 😀
If I admit that I have many errors, I think I will have to pay for other Spanish courses. Merci.
Right now I use my samsun galaxi tab and it has been so difficult for me to write in this post, that I am going to change it !!!
As I was telling you now, change to windows phone. I have Nokia lumia 900 at the moment everything is fine. I haven't had the honor of finding myself with 100 errors, especially for the notification of a message when you're talking on the phone…. It's really messy, but I think they can improve that, the design is fantastic and visually it has a lot of graphic elegance, I like it a lot and all the errors it has or according to it says here I still can't see them. I am not a fan of any particular operating system, but with regard to the use of mobiles I have had enough experience to tell you that I prefer windows phone of the three.
Thank you.
I totally agree with you go ,,, I am the owner of a Nokia Lumia 925, and none of the aforementioned problems are present on this device (Windows phone 8.1).
joa if this document is true, which I do believe it is, since people who work for MS have commented to those close to them, this system is a mockery of the common user ...
that's why android eats the whole market
hahaha everyone laughs the thing this asiiii andoid is a computer made cell phone and wp7 is a cell phone made computer the functions regarding calls in wp7 are better than those of android but android in applications that you have on a pc are better I want a phone I already have a computer at home and I have both systems and android crashes when calling is slow to link and wp7 no greetings and thanks.
Hello, I am writing from an LG optimus 7 ... WP 7.5 (they gave it to me a year ago to test it and know their system, since the phone company had many and the few buyers complained and returned it)
Before that I had a Nokia 1100, for many years (I keep it and turn it on every so often) although I know and worked with many mobiles. My first impression about the system is that it was exactly the same as the iphone but from Wondows.
I read the list and agree with some points and differ on others, say half and half. Among those who differ, there are many that do not bother me, such as the impossibility of using non-microsoft browsers (it's a Windows, what do you expect?), And things like that. Of course, I've already experimented as much as possible, tweaked the registry, even gutted it to actually see the chips. The system is not bad for a user who is unconcerned about the world… It doesn't convince me, it takes away my freedom and limits me to a market that I am not interested in entering.
I read the previous messages and I notice operational fanaticism ... do not discredit only by brand operation, study the enemy and see why it is so accepted in the world.
Let's wait for our linux phone to turn on and show us a Shell that works for everything ... will you like it?
In windows for pc you can use other browsers, so there is no excuse, they are monopolizing the system, sell that shit and buy a serious one
Good morning from Mexico !!!
Well my opinion is the following and I will go by steps:
1.- I love Linux and its distributions (Whatever they are called -Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Mandriva, Mint) and I really enjoy working on the UNIX environment because it gives me the freedom to do whatever I want and I also improve my skills as a NOT average user.
2.- My PC is by default W7 and I am not self-conscious because the first point solves all my problems and well to my regret Windows offers and gives native support to my graphic card so I can play beautifully on my PC
3.- I am a user of an iMac and I like it because it is based on UNIX, I must also confess that I am excited to make it speak and it also has native support for all its hardware (It bothers me not to have the freedom to put my hand and change certain aspects hardware).
4.- Now I use a Windows Phone (before a N8) and I am sure of something and it is the following:
4.1.- It has native support for hotmail (it synchronizes without problems)
4.2.- I am not going to pay a single peso more for a team that I have on a rental plan.
4.3.- It works and connects to: Twitter, Facebook, Skype, Hotmail, Whatsapp, among others.
4.5.- In a few months there will be an Android nn (understood as a software version) of the brand that you want, an iPhone with IOS nn (better than the one you bought yesterday) a WP nn (with hardware improvements and so on) known to all).
The point is that I will never again be held hostage to marketing and other tricks to have the "Best" "Smart" device on the market. And if you are not an average user, you can take advantage of all the applications that the device you currently use has.
And the day Nokia decides to return to the Linux platform (Meego, now Tizen) I will be the most satisfied user on the planet.
greetings
Jacob
The only good thing about WP in a Lumia 710, are the offline maps .. although you also get those with Symbian.
It's a shitty operating system, I'm really disappointed that I spent my money, I could have bought an android 1.5 and it's even better.
I do not know those who have bought a windows phone but I would like to sue Microsoft
I have a Lumia 900 and it is the most beautiful and precious cell phone that I have had, I have seen IPHONE 4 and SAMSUNG GALAXY and believe me that I adore my lumia 900 for several reasons, it makes your life easy and without much hassle, ANDROID E lovers IOS are the fans who like many free applications but mostly useless, I invite you to get to know WINDOWS PHONE. You will not be disappointed.
I have a nokia lumia .. unfortunately, all the reasons are absolutely true, I wish the developers would see this page and correct at least some of these through updates.
I find it incredible how many greengrocers and hypocrites who don't know what the hell they're talking about, there are here, it's impressive, I spent many years using different Linux distros (famelix, ubuntu, kubuntu, comfussion, opensuse, umcRC1 ... among others) and I have to say that today and unfortunately I have to have the pc with dualboot and I also have to use linux. Microsoft's OS is somewhat limited, it stalls and restarts and uses up a lot of resources (if you don't know how to use it) I have to say that Linux isn't like that, functionality, speed, etc. etc. but when we talk about terminals. I DISCREP. I have had a fairly powerful android terminal, with hundreds of roms and we all know that android is completely based on linux and is open source. Well, there is no greater crap that the battery lasts a blow, that the phone restarts that the calls are cut and so on a thousand things and believe me that I used from 2.3.1 to 4.1.1. I recently bought a lumia 710, released it with a wp7.5 rom based on the wp 7.8 desktops and believe me I can install any type of applications, wherever they are, the battery lasts 2 days today and 2 months later After buying it, no calls have been cut, nor has the mobile been restarted or turned off. In conclusion Android disappointed me a lot, although it must be said that it is an OS that promises a lot. So for all those who speak without knowing what they say when you know how to use your terminals, see the other with your eyes and inform yourself well of the things you speak.
Some things are true .. Others are not (: I feel comfortable with my wp 🙂
many are true but there are also some that are not true. They should find out well before publishing that there are things that are not true. the WP is a good system and does not crash. I have seen iphone 4 and galaxy s3 with many bugs and the WP has not bugged me at all. I use the lumia 900 and it works on everything. if you have a few cons like bluetooth and mass storage. but the rest are not cons but are pros that make it easier for you to use the cell phone 😀
For those reasons I use android although I like the appearance of wp7.5
If someone has managed to make it work (view remotely), some type of IP camera in the Nokia Lumia 800, please detail it, since it has been impossible for me, and nobody gives me a solution.
Thank you
I am using the lumia 800 and what I agree with is that there are basic functions of the old cell phones that have not included them. and I still can't save a video on my phone that I send as a test by email.
Stamina symbian! Everything you can do on an android or wp I can do on my nokia 5800 from 4 years ago. I don't change it for none.
I have an HTC T8788, which works with WP 7.5 and I got a message saying that the microsd was not working correctly, I asked to turn it off and indeed after turning it off it worked fine. Then I happened again and when I turned it on, only the initial image of HTC came out, and from there it does not progress, what can I do? The warranty has expired and I don't know what to do.
I have used all the OS, I kept a Nokia Lumia 900 and an LG Optimus 3D for my wife which I am selling, I will give her mine and buy a Lumia 920,
it is a SUPER experience !! have Wp. the fastest on the market.
I like ANDROID more than the Apple iOS but precisely because it is open source android it has a number of flaws, it is slow, it crashes a lot, it does not last the battery, and it may be the cell phone. more expensive than all the same happens to them.
for HTC, I tell you that your memory is damaged, you have to change it, the next you buy cell. be it Samsung or Nokia. HTc have that problem.
I love Nokia Lumia 900
If you make the comparison with Windows Phone 8 this list would be reduced by at least 80% ... There would still be some things that would be the same in quantity if you made a comparison of what Windows Phone 8 has that the rest do not have ....
The moment of change has started at Microsoft and will not stop…. How do you get a little scared?
I'm a Nokia fan ...
I just bought a lumia 900 and it is very good, it is annoying that different notifications cannot be established, the alarm is solved.
There are things that I cannot comment on simply due to the fact that I am not fully informed, I have an iPad and it is completely different since I have it flashed. and a samsung galaxy with android. the lumia 900 is the one that suits me best of the three.
This is a blowjob, I have 1 wp7, and at least half of it is a lie, for example that the applications freeze, that is completely false more than 7 months with my computer and it has never frozen, and my cell phone has Micro SD memory input up to 32gb + the 8 that it has integrated, I have a Samsung focus for more information, this post is wrong, I'm sorry but whoever knows knows, (I have had all the OS from symbian to android, IOS and WP7 as well they don't make me stupid
Page trash!
Most of what you say is real nonsense. I had one and this operating system is wonderful BECAUSE IT IS OPTIMIZED, not like Android, which is a JAVA that swallows resources (even with the latest hardware you have lag, I had an Atrix 4g).
Investigate more and don't write bullshit.
Greetings.
Sometimes I do not understand how there are people with such low ability to read beyond the title. I do not intend to fight with you, you can mark the page with the adjective that drips wherever you want, but, if you read a little, you realize that it is not an article made by us as such but a compilation labeled "humor", nothing real, nothing serious; Any resemblance to reality is a mere coincidence ... Are you able to understand it or is it very complicated?
Look, I read your post and at first I believed everything and worse, my Xperia with android had just broken down and I had to buy a new phone and it occurred to me to buy the Nokia Lumia 800 and at first contact despair and disappointment took over me , but after reading you, however as a good gamer hacker and nerd I began to explore the possibilities and I can tell you that I have a replica for most of your assertions, the most extraordinary question with the win phone is the way to organize social networks It is simply extraordinary, the market applications are the same ones that I used in the droid. It is true that in the playstore there are thousands and thousands of applications but let's be honest about those we use almost all of them. My opinion is that they try the product and use it to be able to have an objective balance to me today after giving me caps with the change of android it seems to me a superior OS
I bought the Nokia Lumia 1 already 800 month ago. Very nice and its applications are very good. As someone said, his way of interacting between social networks and sharing photos and videos is great. in addition to having cloud storage.
Now I tell you what happened to me…. I was charging my cell phone and listening to music and suddenly he was paralyzed and there was nothing I could do, it could not be turned off and since the battery cannot be removed I had to just leave it there…. after 10 min it turned off and turned on by itself and started working normally. that was two days ago. Today I repeatedly stuck, it froze, it turned off again, but this time it completely restarted, that is ... as if I had never used it ... photos, songs, videos, applications were all deleted .... so… it really disappointed me and I'm looking for a way to do it. Well, if in a month I suffer this type of failure, I do not think it will go that far ... it is necessary to clarify that it does not have any blow or any damage the cell is new. I just charge it 1 month. there someone was talking about symbian. It is true. I had the nokis e63 and could do all kinds of tasks. The only disadvantage is that it was not possible to demand much for internal memory reasons and the camera was already old. but he battled many noveleros with his BBs. Greetings to all and I hope you do not get angry. I just tell you my experience.
Not everything is true, they are also very good cell phones
Tricks, user of windows phone 7.5 and happy, many things can already be done that come out there and others although they cannot be, they are not really needed, it all depends on the user.
I do not go back to Android and I would never use IOS, for cell phones I would only change my WP 7.5 for a lumia 920 or 820 with WP 8 😉
Totally agree. The most Nokia lumia 😀
The truth is I have a wp7 and the truth is that I liked its structure and the rest, but the truth was that I did not like it at all, I was not wanting to have another one, I have had comments from colleagues about their windows and the problem is the software restarts or After a year it turns off and we must take it to the technician, the truth is I have barely been with it for a month and it was damaged, it has not fallen on me and much less wet and the truth is I do not plan to spend more on taking it to a technician so bye to windos phone the truth I thought that because of the cost it was going to be not the best but if you practice that horror but well I hope that when you buy yours, what happened to me will not happen. luck and if you want to try it, try it luck: /
Windows: different ways to be very stupid.
hahaha I couldn't help it
The locked phone wakes up and displays the content of the message on the lock screen, which is a violation of privacy. (I've already been caught several times for this bullshit.) How can you disable that. ???
Admit it the best is the galaxy s3 with android the rest is a thing of the past NOKIa with lumia for those who do not know how to use a smartphone all are good but for those who exploit those 4 nuclei we are delighted
Did you know ... that Android is not made for "Success" ... I mean ... Android is not made to exploit more than 1 Nucleus ... ?? .. I hope you are aware ..
And although it is true that according to the following versions of Android, they "fixed" that problem and now it applies to using more cores ..
BUT …… REALLY NISIQUIERA IS FASTER WITH MORE than 1 CORE….
In a few words Android is an OS that was not made from the base architecture so that it uses the maximum potential of more than 1 core .. That being the case… don't talk to me about "exploiting 4 cores .."…
Find out a bit bro =)
I have WP7 in my Samsung Focus… The way to manage social networks is a thousand times better than in any other operating system. The appearance is quite elegant and simple to use. And I read the entire list and some things are false and other things say they do not work but I have verified that since obviously the system is different, the functions of the equipment are performed in other ways. For my Windows Phone 7.5 it has been my functional companion and according to my humble opinion, it is the best cell phone that I have had and mainly because of the OS
Regards!!!
Since I was little I have appreciated microsof as a desk OS ,,,,,,,,, But in the mobile platform, I do not recommend this garbage of OS, none of them are useful to anyone, what a piece of crap, never make the mistake of think about windows there is nothing for that ,,,,,,,,,,, I have nokia lumina and before I had in galaxy s2 and the difference of OS and applications is incredibly Impressive ,,,,,,,,, Greeting From Dominican Republic.
This post is clearly for Android users to realize that things they will NOT be able to do if they go to WP, in itself it is not a criticism as such. I need to add that almost all Android utilities are free and in WP either they do not exist or they will charge you for them.
Lumia change for Android uu
Oh !! nooo !! Let symbian come back !!!
I am one of the many symbian users who switched to wp ... and I can tell you with complete certainty that of all the reasons presented in this post ... only about 15 become true ... the rest are not true ... people stick with the same boring paradigm that all phones currently follow and oppose change, therefore they do not find the functionalities they want where they know them. Many of the reasons are also quirks that become obsolete, they are really unnecessary functions. It should be remembered that WP is still a new system and that it is very possible that the approximately 15 valid reasons in this post will be applied or improved in the near future. I am happy with WP and it does everything and more than my old symbian belle did.
It is Totally True …… What you say Ervin Isaba.
Of the 101 "reasons" really ... misinformed, not very technical, and out of place ... that they do in the post only 30. Exaggerating are true and concrete
Bearing in mind that if someone took all the trouble to read the entire post ... there are many "points" that consider them listed ... that are repeated ....
Also points that are really stupid…. As the one of does not execute applications in «java» ..… What is the joke there ??… Does Android Run applications. xap ??? -.- ?? ……. Really a disappointment the report .. It is more .. to see if there is some time .. and I deny everything that is in the post ...
Do not screw me the truth that I feel a bit scammed with WP I am not religiously android but iOS and windows phone are a real scam in the market compared to this I have faith in WP but hurry to grow because we do not have all the life to wait for it
Ah, another thing, I already tried the Lumia with Windows Phone, the good thing is that it looks like a Windows 8 nano version. The bad thing is that it is NOT Windows 8. I wonder the level of compatibility with desktop exe applications and that, the truth is that if I haven't tried it yet.
Unfortunately if it is true I bought a Lumia 900, and it is true, but well I miss this, I will have to put up with it, I used to have an N8, what a wonderful cell…. but it suffered an accident, it fell into the water and died, I put it in a box with rice, it only turned on for a few days, but it turned off and did not turn on again, that's why I decided to buy the lumia 900 ... But fence fiasco that I buy ... this will be the last Nokia I buy, Nokia made a bad decision to install Windows on their cell phones, if they no longer wanted Symbian they would stay with meego ... anyway ...
regards
You should update your WP7 to 7.8 many of the options will be available, and if you have patience when WP8 comes out in custom rom for your mobile, you will see that you no longer need the ZUNE, I can copy music files, videos or whatever I want WITHOUT ZUNE . and transfer files, music, photos etc .. by BT
I have a Lumia 920 😛
Hello, but it would be good to tell us about your bad experience, one thing is for the operating system to malfunction, another that you cannot find the application you want, remember that you are the newest. I myself am using it and so far I find many very good applications. Cheers
Well, the truth that you "restart" the app every time you "tap" the icon seems to me an OS error. The tw and facebook apps do not give you real-time notifications as if they are given by IOS Android and or even BBOS. Twitter MD's are an ordeal.
It lacks a tray to centralize OS messages, updates, MDS and chats.
If you have a contact with two cell phones, YOU CANNOT KNOW WHAT NUMBER I SEND YOU AN SMS. YOU CANNOT CALL HIM FROM THE SMS OR WHATSAPP
What a mess, if someone sends you a message that says "mark me" you can't!
Ah another thing, with Android all day in tw whatsapp and FB 200 MB were enough with Windows 400 and they were missing
NO ZELLO
NO LIVE PROFILE
Ah
I missed
The damn pile doesn't last! You can't use just any mp3 as a ringtone! Nononn, I only recommend it for those who want to quit BBOS 5 or 6 or those who have just left Symbian. Better than Android or IOS NO
Some IOS that can use an mp3 as a ringtone ???? I have a Lumia 800 and I have a ringtone as a ringtone. Cheers
Hello, this list of 101 reasons I think you should update it, everything you say could be true in the first version of Windows Phone 7, but now with 7.8 and 8 half of the things that you say that you cannot IF CAN BE done , in addition to the limitations that you comment on other systems are from third-party applications, in the store you can download them and do what you could not before, I am a defender of Linux, but I leave it basically for my servers, as a user I prefer something safe, And taking stockings it is both Linux and Windows or Android, but knowing what I know as a user I would not have an Android, although my partner would have one so I could control it better heheheej.
And proudly I answer you from a PC with Windows 7 although I have Debian virtual machines 😛 and I have had IOs (with jailbreak) I have sold it when version 6 came out and also an HTC HD2 with WM6, WM6.5, several Android and WP7 roms and WP8, and all things being equal, the best thing to do is WP7.
I am surprised by the lack of objectivity of people, when they defend their own and only what they have in their hands, I think they should be more open to other options and before speaking, know.
regards
Not even corn, it is not about one defending one's own, it is simply about the software of a cell phone doing what you want it to do and doing it quickly and well, as if it knew what you want to do. It's like when you google something, it's as if they know what's on your mind and give it to you the first time. This is how Windows Phone should be, I do not want to know the reasons why it does not work (that this is not because it is a new system, that the other is not because the system has to be updated, that less because it does not support such or which function or technology, that beyond is impossible due to restrictions, etc.) No mother! I don't buy a smartphone to "be more objective" or to "open myself to other options" but to make the chingader @ work, work well and do the things I like, how I like them and when I like, Without it being necessary to refine an applied engineering course, because if not, it is not a smart phone but the opposite. As far as I can remember, neither java, nor symbian, nor android had made me curse and talk mothers so many times.
I have laughed but you are absolutely right, there are some surprising people around here with technical things and nonsense that do not interest. To me it seems extremely simple to use the Nokia Lumia and fast to access social networks and interact, check everything, is my appreciation. Others don't like it because the menu isn't as flashy as the other cell phones, or because you can't play a certain game, that's fine. as you say there that each one uses it for what it serves. Regards.
Trevelyan believe me that what matters the least to me is the ringtone. The twitter and facebook apps are disgusting. The hub has not been more than an ebuddy that does not have synchrony with social networks. And the worst of the case is that it turns off the wifi when the cell is blocked. The truth is I am already looking for options to replace this cell that to finish it use microsimm so I will spend on another chip: /
As a personal experience, my cell phone turns off the wifi when it has energy saving mode, that is, when the battery is discharged. hence the facebook works very well, indicating updates. The twitter if I can tell you that it takes time to get a message, whether someone mentioned you or sent you something. I mentioned the ringtone because you said you couldn't have a ringtone, hence for me that is also irrelevant. There are two applications that I have been able to have on the phone, the facebook and the facebook touch that resembles the one used in the Iphones. So far I think they are both missing some things.
you can work in windows, so the applications are not restarted ... just have the screen crushed and you will see that other windows come out with which you can have several applications open. I hope it will serve you well or if not well, it will touch that you change your cel only. Cheers
Unlike several who say without having used a phone based on WP I tell you that everything ... EVERYTHING that appears in this list is true!
3 weeks ago I use a Nokia Lumia 900 with WP 7.5 and it sucks OS… it doesn't allow to do anything other than vanalities… the Lumia very nice image but its OS is a shame… in fact I have been preparing a similar list in more detail in some points but this one summarizes them very well ... I even liked the section «It seems a lie» because all the things that are mentioned there, no matter how stupid they seem, are true ...
For those who say that WP is the future ... what is coming ... I could tell you that to reach the level of performance, intuitiveness, interface friendliness, number of (really) useful applications, customization capacity (tone / volume profiles , image, etc etc etc) that has the Android OS that my old and modest Galaxy Mini had, they would have to launch a WP 50.5 ... in sooooooo many more generations this operating system could maybe ... just maybe reach what Android has ... I'm not a fan of Android ... just a simple user of both systems ... I really am very sorry to have dared to change Android for this crappy OS ...
It has already been shown previously that everything that the list says is not true. I wish you could name or clarify the things that you think are wrong. There may be a lack of information or you could help us find errors in this type of phone. Android personally did not like me because of its slowness and low battery. but it is also up to each one…. Cheers
Well, for me an optimus black was enough ... It brings almost the same hardware as the 710 that I had bought. And the apps are more developed and better cared for, not at the iOS level but they work very well
WRONG, SEVERAL THINGS ARE WRONG, I HAVE A LUMIA 900 WITH WINDOWS PHONE 7.8. IF YOU ADMIT DIVX, AND A COUPLE OF MORE WRONG THINGS IN YOUR POST, WHICH I WILL MENTION YOU WITH MORE TIME, DO NOT INVENT, GET INFORMED AND LIVE THE EXPERIENCE.
I returned to android. There is nothing to do
Oh hello to all, will it be the truth that the storage that only grabs 16 GB, what happens with those that have 64 GB, can only fill the 16 GB? and the rest
It gave me a lot of courage to read this article now, since if I had read it before it would have saved me a lot of courage, I flatly gave Telcel back their filth with Windows Phone but they didn't want to give me back my wool, I had to choose an Android that cost $ 300.00 pesos less but I already learned the lesson: Damn traitors of Nokia, they were my favorite brand and I was faithful to them for 15 years, I loved symbian and expected a lot from MeGo but they gave themselves to the dark side. If they had opted for Android, they would have understood it ... Poor Nokia, so far from God and so close to Microsoft
It's not racism but ... most of the windoseros who defend the Windows Phone crap are Spanish. The joke told itself.
I am from Chile and I have been using windows phone for more than 2 years, business with 7 and lg e900 l800 l900 l920 and now the lumia 1020 with wp8.1 and I have none of those reasons and I do not defend wp, I only found it stable, ordered and without virus, I had android optimus one and let me speak a lot, tube l iphone 5 excellent mobile but I did not like it, learn to simply use a device if you do not grasp it, it is not simple
I differ a little from the article, I come from using almost all kinds of cell phone brands and OS, from the 300 phone to a 5G iphone, the truth is that my last phone was a Samsung galaxy Ace which since the second month that it Buy me epemeso with flaws, what flaws? Well, it would restart itself, it would get stuck a lot, sometimes using watssap it would cause these blackouts, even when they called me on the phone when wanting to answer the dirt on the phone would turn off, in short, Android for me in stability is a garbage, why? Well, because a friend of mine has a motorola, the truth is, I don't know which model but it is high-end with a value of 8000 MX which no longer allows her to receive or send messages, the phone locks every so often, the last thing I knew what happened to her It is that no longer call lets him answer, do you want another example? Another friend with a Galaxy S2 knows what phone I'm talking about, just as the software is failing with reboots and as if that were not enough the data port was broken, another example the Dell brand Telephone which with that version of Andriod simply e It's rubbish, and to end today I'm using a Nokia Lumia 610, I know it is low-end but believe me that it worked for me, it is fast, it does not restart when I answered, true that because it is closed like Apple it does not have applications paid for free such as android but in the end what do I need them for since I do not use my cell phone either to play or to live it there, I just use wattsapp, facebook and twitter and without problems only two strange things about Android the Zello and the programs for Look for Wifi passwords for everything else, the truth is that I stay with windows phone.
Many of the features do not matter to me (I can live without them), and others seem silly to me to be criticized as if other mobile OS had them.
But anyway, something that if I could not stand and could have put on the list and save 100 reasons ... besides that we are already talking between linuxers ... is that YOU CANNOT UPDATE WITHOUT WINDOWS. Something that makes me completely stupid and incoherent if we take into account that many services are updated yes or yes with the cloud in between, but OS updates cannot be done with the ONLY exception of using the Zune software.
I can understand that WP gets along better or has programs to be exclusive to its Windows ecosystem, but what I really don't understand is how it is that to update a device (mobile phone) you need another (PC)…. Is that I feel with the veins on his forehead about to explode with discomfort.
Upgrade A Blackberry Without The Desktop Sofware Manager…. Slimy
Well, I have been a Windows Phone user for 2 years now and I have also renewed a Windows Phone device, since it is very practical to use and with everything at hand, although many of the reasons presented here are true, when I read the list I thought, it does not have it but I do not need it, I think that depends on each user, also when before Windows Phone tube an Android, I thought why it does not do x things, it lacks x, etc etc, pd I am iOS user on an iPad, one of the things I like about android devices is the ability to transfer files to the devices and the use of external storages.
And because of the functionality of windows phone 7… I still keep my old and super stable symbian.
And super useless. 😛
Here they cross the line I eat and they eliminated it. As you say, for reliability is that Windows Phone is the best operating system in the entire market right now. Whoever did not know to start reading or buy one with Windows Phone 8. This is old already in Windows Phone 7 Many of these errors were corrected and I did not change my phone for any. apart or virus take hahah
It is real that WP8 is faster than the rest, and saves more battery.
Android should take care of WP8 in no time.
I handle the three android iphone and wphone
my experience is
android can be rooted install modified roms increase performance and
all that but we actually realize the team's ability
and we spent whole nights modifying everything and making the paste of
companies to fix bugs or other problems.
wphone can be done root or jailbreack whatever you want to call it install roms
and other things and stable roms without bug and modify similar to android but more restricted but something more free
iPhone I'm testing it but it's not very convenient
It's all true, but those flaws are normal for an OS newer than Android and IOS. In addition, those defects, at least to me, do not affect me so much since they are small details, but aware that they make big differences.
Make calls, send messages, listen to music ... I am not a nuclear physicist to have 200 applications installed on my cell or to be complicating my life with certain and useless characteristics (or that they were 007). I have used WP7 on an LG e900h for a long time and find it very practical and functional.
Please update the information, or specify the version of Windows Phone, because currently most things on the list in Windows Phone 8 are lies.
I could give a few reasons to use it, but I think that in this forum it is like throwing a cat in the water, I only hope that they rectify the article, or that they complete that it is with Windows Phone 7 (not even 7.5, which has already been solved, some of the deficiencies that you say)
but at least it doesn't lock up so much and it's more stable than android mediocridd or maybe they don't remember the message on a very common android that says: "force close" I had to endure it countless times on a galaxy s3 what a shame and disgust to pay so much for the tremendous garbage that is both samsung and android.
Hello, how about my comment is the following, about 2 months ago I acquired a Nokia 8 win 520 cell phone and at first I felt very good about the equipment, but I have more than two months with the cell. As much as I look for a solution to be able to have more control over the music player, I can't find anything since I didn't like it at all because the music appears everywhere in no order and it's a problem when I want to listen to a certain song, something else that It draws attention if you save a document it is impossible to find it since it has to be by skydrive and also that there is nothing to be able to move to folders of the same the truth is beautiful and striking but nothing else, if I had known I would prefer one with an android system this is a fiasco I don't even understand
no reason is authentic, everything is false, because I have the nokia lumia 920 and it has everything it even has and does more things than an android and I say it having had a htc one x and clearly the htc does not even reach the sole of the nokia shoes
I read the 101 negatives, beyond the fact that some are repeated, let's not be a fan of something that the client does not care about, but about collecting. I mean all the operating systems that exist, I use Android since I had my first smartphone, I was a fan of Nokia, and when choosing I read a lot about each operating system, and the truth is that they all have their pros and cons, they get better progressively thanks to users who comment on the failures. But the truth of all this is that whoever started with an operating system teepee keeps that one out of comfort and habit, because he already knows it well and knows how to go back. Going back that they only care about collecting, I will give you an example: no It can be updated to window 8, this generates of who wants to have w8 has to buy a new equipment.
There is if I agree with you, with the update, it is even worse, I have an HTC HD7 with windows phone 7.5 Not even trying to force it and I have been able to update it to 7.8 Updating this Operating System is normally almost impossible. They are motherfuckers for that.
The only thing I'm going to tell you about all this is: Windows Phone 8 with gdr3 running gives you what you say it lacks and more 😉 Lumis 720 user
Windows 8, of course it has, but this article is from a long time ago, at that time no version of Windows Mobile (now called Windows Phone) had these features. Thank you for your comment and for reading us 🙂
It is true that windows phone was a bad operating system at first, but since windows phone 8 and with the updates that will come, it will be a competitive operating system. As much as it hurts many people, WP is growing and it seems that some are scared of that.
It is true it has unthinkable limitations, I have the Luminia 920, and it is difficult to manage folders, the WhatsApp gives errors that "It cannot show notifications", and there is also no application that allows playing video streeaming flash plop.
These errors are solved in Windows Phone 8 and the wifi can be solved in settings, hopefully people do not get carried away with these absurd nonsense, only that Google is fearing that Windows Phone will be better than Android in a few years this will be seen, but Windows Phone in a short time went from unknown to I want one like that !!!, do not fool people, just look at the galaxy note 3 the Lumia 1520 is better in every way
Wait Friends, Windows just started making prototypes "OR YOU HAVE NOT REALLY READ" because only in 2014 will they really start
In a few words it is crap, it is not possible that a Chinese phone of 3 pesos with Android works better than this crap.-
I have the nokia lumia 620 (windows phone) and well I took the time to read the 101 reasons, but the vast majority is a lie, maybe who made the post has not scrutinized a windows phone well and to mention mine if it supports micro card SD card and my card is 32 GB and of course you can save contacts in the SIM this is my humble comment I will simply 85% of the 101 reasons are FALSE
There have been two worse shits: 1. that not all of them can be updated to windows 8 and 2. the availability of applications in the marketplace, removing good games such as taptitude or chaos rings (the latter for payment) the rest garbage, for Android example full of free emulators of psx, psp, gameboy advance, snes, neogeo ... and in windows phone there is one of gameboy that the sound is fatal (on top of payment) I have windows phone because they sold me a phone at a price and Now but I don't know, the best thing is to install a hack rom, like rataplan and so we will expand functions, we will eliminate any restriction from the list (¨like the ringtones) and we can install external applications and view files
The man who commented on it knew a lot about this, NOKIA ARE A PORQUERIA
What I can say is that not all the reasons are true but most of them, that is the unfortunate thing that I do not understand is why they made a so with so many failures ???
I think that this article has several errors or lack of update, as for Windows Phone I have a very clean and tidy system unlike Android. With windows phone I can install applications and it doesn't get like an old man with rising asthma like android is. Being the latest generations of Nokia Lumia that support up to 64Gb of memory per SD and file transfer without the need for Zune.
FALSE! I would write tooodo refuting it, but it's bullshit, it has ALL of that, the only one I complain about, it's the few applications, and the ones that exist are not very good. But regarding the system, for me it's great.
true
In reality, this happens, and if it's a fucking shit that makes you want to break it and throw it at your sister's shell, because it gives you immense anger, I barely bought it for 3 days and it already makes me want to return it, all it gives is trouble. Thing that all this in Samsung does not happen. -.-
Actually the Whindows Phone system is the worst in the world, it is complete shit!
Well, I am a current WindowsPhone user and everything is true. I will not buy a cell phone with this operating system again: Yes and whoever says that what he says there is not true is because he has not used it for at least a week or uses it only to call and send SMS.
Hello:
I must be a sad linux user with cognitive problems, before anyone tells me anything I will say that I have not read all the text but my experience is as follows:
Android user had a thousand problems with the mobile, since I am poor they were about € 170 (which for me is already pasta), at first with linux better than worse after 4.3, at least I with linux mint.
Firefox user os, obviously because of what the terminal cost me, I wasn't going to ask for pears from an elm tree; But one thing is that it is new and another that to pick up the calls you have to do road engineering, that you have to restart to change from 3g to wifi if not it does not change, that in a journey of 60 km the gps works at 25 km of the exit and also that the navteq closes, the desktop and the notifications are very handsome but very unusable. Of course a 10 to those of Connecta2 because their altruistic program is great (price of the terminal 40 eur)
Wphone user had the same problems as with Android with linux (terminal price 170 eur), I didn't like Nokia and even less MS but I have to say that I'm delighted, speed, originality and higher quality than with Android.
I'm sorry if you don't agree, but each one tells the fair according to how it goes.
regards
All this seems a lie to me since I use wibdows phoe, and it renames me the photos, sends an audio signal of any video through blue tooth headphones, closes the app
All this seems a lie to me since I use wibdows phoe, and it renames me the photos, sends an audio signal of any video through blue tooth headphones, closes applications in the background, on the player, it is not true that there is qt
All this seems like a lie to me since I use wibdows phoe, and it renames my photos, sends an audio signal of any video through blue tooth headphones, closes applications in the background, on the player, it is not true that you have to be careful, it is a lie What's more, I'm publishing with my windows phone, and it has an NFC system, if someone has that
Well, I only get 50 of those things from there. I have WP7.5
First of all, these "supposed" statements are false, it all depends on the capacity of a hardware, that is, of the motherboard of a phone and not of a software such as the Windows Phone OS.
in my case I have a lumia 520 and its capacity is 8 gb of internal storage and if it allows micro sd and micro sim, if its screen is 800 × 480, it matters to watch videos and listen to music
With respect to everyone, I think they are wrong, as I emphasized before, I have a lumia with windows phones 8 AMBER and in reality, if there were failures, everything disappears after updating windows from 8 to 8.1
And although it supports background capacity is the best, THAT they expect a samsung galaxy s2 to fall from the sky in my part to my windows phone is the best in OS with what I mean DO NOT WALK CRITICIZING because they want to or it is not a complete phone or OS and it is better than having NOTHING …… PSDT DO NOT CRITICIZE IF YOU DO NOT KNOW …… GREETINGS
I fully agree with you today wp is one of the most practical and easy-to-use, intuitive and above all safe OS that exist and the best thing is that (I do not have sources that confirm this) but in my personal experience Microsoft Windows in its Smart line phon wp8 listens to the requests of its users constantly updating the OS, such as the latest update that I know of which is Black, where it leaves the aforementioned article almost without effect and fulfills all the basic and non-basic functions of any OS already I know android iPhone ... etc and I have even noticed more today, I dare to say that it is capable of competing strongly with current operating systems and beating more than one
80% of these are already in Windows Phone 8.1 I highly recommend this operating system.
I definitely do not know what version they are talking about ... I have a Lumia 820 and everything they say there is incorrect and although I confess that when they gave it to me and I found out that it had Windows 8 I was very suspicious, with use it has given me great satisfaction and I don't think I ask for anything from any cell phone nowadays.
It is clear that they are 101, illogical reasons, are you going to commission with android ??? Hahaha. It is an elegant operating system, the terminals which have this system are really of excellent quality. When a person acquires a terminal with this type of system, I am sure it is because of the service it provides and the elegance and simplicity of said system. One wants one system or another to take advantage of its functionalities, and in terms of customization ... It can only be said that one has a mobile to take advantage of it, or to put beautiful images, change of letter ... Another day I will expose real reasons for what not to choose android
windows phone is a system garbage, closed, without apps, the simplest complicates it, and the complicated is impossible, HIGH GARBAGE AND SYSTEM BECAUSE, badly I do not recommend it to anyone, nor to my enemies, WHAT HAS HAS DE CELLULAR- MOBILE THEY MADE AND THEY DO, THEY SELL YOU GARBAGE, the office is terrible, you can't transfer files directly, you need ZUNE ANOTHER SHIT FROM MICROSOFT
Hahahahaha .. you have made me laugh «awful I do not recommend it to anyone, not to my enemies», well I have not had a WP cell phone, but coming from you that appreciation having one, leaves a lot to think about when buying one of those. Postscript, I have a Galaxy S4 and it is luxurious, it has not failed me in anything apart from running all kinds of programs and great games, and malware and others, that happens to most users who download anything from places not reliable, I tell you that I have never had problems with my android device. SALUDOSSSSSS !!!
You hear and the Windows Phone can be used without a chip?
I still fear a "nokia 808" and, I'm going to buy a nokia lumia, now that I really find out about these reasons I am disappointed in the nokia with OS WP8, I better buy myself a smartphone with android
now with windows phone 8.1 I think there are at most 5 reasons left out of the 101 to name valid
the war of the OS .. windows is still ahead due to its friendliness to the user without any knowledge of computer science ... no one wants to leave the world of easy clicks to go to a world of commands and the absence of prigramagas to which they are already accustomed ... yes linux It is still evolving, maybe it will become a good rival for windows ... ... when someone creates a minimal OS like windows 95 and is open source that day, microsoft will worry in the meantime it is difficult for them to stop being the first to sell os
the article refers to wp7
I have one with wp7.5 and when I used it for the first time it was a disappointment, everything said above is true, it may now have improved with wp8 and more but my computer cannot be updated to this version, there is no support it is more now They will remove the support for wp8, thanks but I prefer an android to buy a mobile that does not have updates, they scam you with a device that does not work (even simbian is better) and then they release another version and the users hung up without support
I will not use wp again I already learned my lesson,
I walk with a motorola defy still and I walk much better and it is an old android.
Help!! I have an American windows phone released for Mexico, and I want to sell it but for this I need to delete the windows account, as I delete it without returning to the factory settings since this I think I would lose the SIM release for Mexico.
Thank you in advance for your attention and for your help !!!
101 crap, all those things can be done by downloading the appropriate apps like Zip, Rar, jar and jad open with "archiver" and "pocket extractor", Windows Phone 7.8 if it can be updated, and Windows Phone 8.1 closes its mouth about it To the other things, Windows Phone is a very complex and secure operating system, something that Android and even IOS itself are not completely, I don't think anyone cares about cloud files, since One drive has 16GB of storage, and others operating systems if you run out of memory, you lose your phone or you lose your files for some reason you can no longer recover them, "files" is also available in marcketplace to be able to send not only videos but even the files you want, in few words Windows Phone is a good operating system and is at the level of other Smartphones (I have Nokia Lumia 720 with Windows Phone 8.1 and start with 7.8)
This article refers to the year 2012 when Windows Phone was still in its infancy, now in 2014 all those 101 reasons are totally obsolete, and I dare to say 100%, because I am a Windows Phone 8.1 user with lumia cyan In my Nokia 925 and the truth is I am super happy, because it does not find any difficulty of any kind, everything is fully functional, I encourage you to try Windows Phone, for my user experience it is complete and all the most popular applications are also on Windows Phone.
One doubt I have that system and it does not load mp4. Does anyone know which player I can download because it won't let me download the winamp or the zune
Everything you want but the fluency of wp is achieved by android only using dual core. IOS at least they don't nickname it lagdroid
I'll give you a reason to use Windows Phone: Fluency
My Lumia 625 is very fluid, I have all the Apps that I use in the store, and the system updates are done by MS. so there is no fragmentation.
WP is an excellent system.
If it's true, it's a disgusting Windows Phone 7
the new version (8.1) happily solved ALL the problems explained in this post and even improved more
THIS POST IS OBSOLETE!
Of course it is obsolete, the post is more than TWO YEARS OLD! 😀
Hold on Linux !!!
friend, are you sure your comments are about WP7…? Or have you ever really had the opportunity to get to know a lumia 800 minus a 900 in depth….? By the way, I remind you that when WP7.5 came on the market in the well-known Lumia 800, there was hardly any talk about the supposed existence of the android and that when it finally came out with version 2.1.3, it did not do anything that you accuse WP7 and if we're going to be honest with the adroid 4.2 output we are already on par with WP8.1
I had the Nokia Lumia 800, then the 1020, then I switched to the Samsung Galaxy S4 and currently I have the Note 4, I must say that Windows Phone is a good operating system, but it sucks compared to Android, a very closed system, it which I do not like, I could not download music and applications from the network, it is one of the things that can be criticized the most about WP, also that it lacks Adobe Flash Player, I wanted to watch movies on the web and it did not allow it, the reasons to buy a SmartPhone are for applications, and that WP lacks applications (compared to Android) hurts a lot, in short, if you want the mobile only to watch videos on YouTube, Use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, see the time, then buy a Windows Phone, or better yet: save a lot of money and better buy a 50 dollar cell phone….
With version 8.1 of Windows Phone many of these points have been resolved and others have been refined, although some still remain, such as the impossibility of attaching documents to emails except images, a lack that cries out to hell! and the opacity of the file system that is still valid in the default system, although there are already applications that solve this problem. And of course it is already possible to define VPN connections. As for having to go through Microsoft's Market Place, by now I have convinced myself that it is the best, a lot of amateur programmers filling the 'shelves' with shit with applications that put the security of the system in check, not to mention of malware and adware that I get rid of with this policy. Who wants thousands of apps to go to Android.
There is incorrect information in this list ... I have Windows Phone and YES it has the option to block calls and messages ... and I can also send files by email (office, powerpoint or whatever) YES it saves the call history and they can also be configured different tones for different notifications. It has a free application to edit files and set them as ringtones too. And if you can enter more than one phone for each contact. The software was upgraded from windows 8 to windows 8.1 for free for all users.
If you realize Vanesa, this post already has its time, so many of the things that Windows Phone did not have it is logical that they were already included. However, you can now go to the checkout to get paid for the XDD promotion
One Drive memory is an excellent solution…. I know people who have android and have problems in the applications due to the lack of memory on the phone and they have to constantly delete files and videos. With Windows 8.1 all the shortcomings that existed at the beginning have been solved (and that my Nokia is the Lumia 520, but the software works perfectly)
Right now I'm using a Nokia Lumia 520 with Windows Phone, and I can tell you that it's a reverend shit.
Linux people are wrong ... be happy and let others live. Focus on your free software. If you don't like Windows, don't study it. Windows Phone is the best ... Many things I have read here are lies
I believe that for simple users who do not use great things these 101 reasons do not interest us so much. On the sidelines. I used all my android life, I just sold my iphone 6, I was ticked for seconds several times and there are missing that a mobile of those values CANNOT HAVE. and now I have a humble lumia 630 10 days ago. There is no one who can argue that Android is the most versatile system, it is really fantastic, but if or if I think that a powerful mobile has to run it and there it will work fine. What I like about windows is that it runs perfectly with a 160uss tel very quickly and for what I need is messaging, emails, telephony and photos, I'm sorry. the platform looks attractive and modern, of course it needs to sharpen several points.
all are pure linuxers resentful for not having a multiplatform and functional system, I have used most of them both on pc and on phones (Windows XP / Vista / 7/8 / 8.1 / TP (10), Mac OS X Leopard / Snow Leopard / Lion / Mountain Lion / Mavericks / Yosemite, Ubuntu 10.04 / 11.10 / 12.04 / 13.10 / 14.04 / 14.10, Linux Mint Quiana LTS / Rebecca, Devian 6.0 / 7.0, Fedora 20/21, Windows Phone 7.8, 8, 8.1, iOS 4, 5 6, 7, 8, Android 2.3, 4.0, 4.1, 4.3, 4.4 and 5.0), the truth is all very good but if we are going to criticize ourselves as well as in this post lacking impartiality then let's see ... first, Microsoft has made its mistakes (like any company) and is beginning to go out into the mobile world, we saw a WP 7.8 missing in many aspects but that brought us many improvements despite being the SECOND VERSION of a mobile system, then, WP 8 appeared, which has despite handle an interface to some extent identical, it was something totally different with many more options attached to what as users, we expect in a phone with the complication that phones with WP 7.8 could not update to such a version, which caused great annoyance to users, finally, they released WP 8.1, something very close to a unified system, easy to use, much faster and with applications like Office, OneDrive, OneNote, same games on both platforms (Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1), OfficeLens, etc. really productive applications (unknown words in Android) and with a true voice assistant (CORTANA) and if we integrate the Xbox entertainment platform into all this ..., second, Apple has always been the "different, unique" brand but over time only They have shown that they lack something that they mention a lot (CREATIVITY), but despite that if they have a point very in their favor, the market, any common person and without knowledge see the iPhone as the Ferrari in cars, a thin phone, free of viruses, junk applications, slowness, with a very useful voice assistant (SIRI) capable of fulfilling basic requests, the same happens with Mac, but now with its effort to further integrate its Mobile operating system with OS X, answering calls on the computer, writing messages, continuing to work on the iPhone / iPad, the truth is very nice everything, but at a slow pace focusing more on the showiness of everything, third, Android, a complete waste of time, virus, lentit You, garbage to but not having in the application store, late updates, launch of phones with previous versions of the system, in total, too much fragmentation, so far with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) they are managing to sort things out a bit, even so, It is still a useless system in productivity, the only unified services are YouTube, GMail, Google+, GDrive and the only service that stands out, Google Maps, the others are pure distraction, social networks, videos on the internet, mail server (there are too many and better) like GDrive, to achieve this small advance they had to go through 12 versions of the system and we go with those "defenders" who claim to be "advanced users" are nothing more than a bunch of misfits, who needs great options in one telephone? If all they do is use whatsapp, facebook, twitter and the odd call, plus android users, is that advanced? desdelinux» I'm not surprised by that unbalanced thought, but let's say that if we let an almost "technician" (or at least that's what he says, an expert in doing NOTHING) leave his opinions outside of reality, we are devaluing the blog, to finish In my point of view, they are all good systems but if we are going to complain about any of them..., the one that has lost the most is Android so it is better not to give an opinion
PS: I currently have an iPhone 5S, I had a Lumia 510 and 720 (I don't regret it), for a short time I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 (sorry for wasting my money); I use Yosemite on a PC (there is no better way to use OS X since Macs are too expensive and have components that leave a lot to be desired), I use Windows Technical Preview (very good despite being a very early preview) and Ubuntu 14.10
the system is very closed, if it is a garbage or equalizer it handles
I have a Lumia 620 from the moment it went on the market and I saw how the system was growing little by little. Today I have the latest version 8.1 and it works incredibly well, which does not happen with any android of the value of the L620. The lumia 620 has an equalizer from the Black version and it works really well. When I change this lumia I am going to do it for another more powerful lumia, but I have been with this for two years and I am super satisfied and I assure you that I am one of those who likes to mess around with the cell phone a lot.
I just read the 101 reasons ... 2 months ago I bought a Windows Phone, it is the worst mobile phone purchase I could make in my life, I took the time to read the entire previous article and everything is true ... EVERYTHING. It's the most garbage there can be, I just hope to buy another phone so as not to leave a trace of this crap. Believe me, for nothing go buy that fiasco, that mockery of the consumer, because that is what it is. Everything is true, do not take it but not as a gift. Whoever says the opposite one of two: Either they don't really have a windows phone ... Or they only know how to use phones like my grandmother's (you can imagine ...) So you know, say NO to that horrible shit!
I bought a Windows Phone in 2014 to be more precise in August, when I bought it it was in Windows Phone 8 Black, it currently has Windows Phone 8.1 denim, which my Lumia 925 is capable of updating to Windows 10 Mobile like all Lumia in the Currently, something that android because of its great fragmentation you will not see it even in paint, you only write shit because surely you use the shit of android full many applications that become a lump of shit stealing information from users without you noticing the bite that this going .
I don't usually like those types of cell phones, I prefer the little ones, which don't have any applications, although I know I have to update myself and stop being old. that's why I need easy-to-use phones. Any recommendation?
And three years later, having a windows phone, I can say that many things on the list are still a problem.
I hope they launch nokia phones with android very soon because the windows phone is from the navo it is a pity that nokia has fallen so low after being a great brand in the past it does not compete with any android device less with apple until amazon turns it around with your kindle fire since I am a user of it and under the applications that I want since it is configured correctly with all due respect to lumia users better sell their phones at auction since they will be devalued in the near future
Nokia Lumia mobiles do not work; the proof is the 101 reasons not to buy them they want to scam us with our money
I bought a Nokia Lumia 610 just released in Mexico, and they really fall short with the 101 reasons not to buy A WHY OF THESE CELL PHONES, its Windows Phone operating system is disgusting, IT DOES NOT HAVE A COMPARISON WITH ANDROID. So much so that their sales have greatly decreased and will soon be out of the market.
I add that Nokia cell phones with windows phone do not have platforms To install a full grapher
This is false, at least 90 reasons are FALSE, I have had many windows phones and you are very wrong
This article is from several years ago ...
I have a windows phone and it is not bad at all, on the contrary.
What happens is that as it has windows 8.1 some people do not know how to use it and call it "which is a disastrous system" but of course, iPhone, so Apple is better.
It is not much better, it depends on how you take care of and treat your mobile, but to tell the truth, Apple is a scam, they charge you 800 euros for the mobile, and people only want it to take pictures because their camera has a great performance .
It's the Apple craze basically
Windows phone is the biggest shit that has ever been invented. Applications and everyone in general is made for other OS and not for this one. It's like when you're such a hipster that you look like a junkie choni, but in the world of mobile operating systems. A kiss.
haha what a gigantic lie I have windows phone and just less than half of these things are true for example: if there are applications to make video calls if you can take a screenshot and if there is an option of absolute silence this is a complete lie windows If you have many problems but I compared it with the cell phones of my friends and mine beats them all since it is the one that the least gets stuck and the more applications it supports
This is a complete lie already in 2016 with windows 10 it is the best thing in these phones 😀
I asked my mother for a nokia lumia, as I regret having done it, now windows 10 mobile is more advanced and half of the problems mentioned disappeared, but it still sucks I hope I will turn 18 soon and get to work to change operating system
My sister had a Whindows Phone, no idea of the make or model, I wouldn't waste a second researching that shitty phone.
With the arrival of 2017, WhatsApp no longer worked in its model. Logically it has been recycled.
