What's So Special About The Windows Phone.. by Mention(m): 9:44pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
I have virtually used a couple of window phones and I don't seem to find anything great about it.. It has a boring UI which I don't like.. Imagine its app list, just vertical scrolling and looks lame.. It z not too customizable like other OS.. Its not like it have a lot of apps ooo.. So tell me, What's so special about the Windows Phone?? Because in my opinion, that OS z empty and wack compared to Android, iOS and BB 2 Likes |

Personally, I love it's social network integration, how it handles FB, the live tiles and the general feel of the OS. 1 Like |

Its a nice phone, the live tiles is wonderful, it works like your normal PC. By the time you connect it to your computer it recongnises not just the memory card but the phone it self. The browser; internet explorer is good, faster and compresses data like opera mini. This browser is compatible with most websites especially secured ones. But the applications are limited when compared with other OS like android IOS and BB. 1 Like |

I feel its not customizable to my taste.. Can you download themes from the store?? Some people say the phone z stingy too.. Like is there a way to exchange apps with other window phones users?? Data z expensive you know.. I can't start downloading all! |

Mention: Well..I can't use it as my only phone cos truly, it'd be too boring but it's not as boring as you make it sound. Besides, my android bores me sometimes, I'd just be looking at it and and thinking "what should I do next. . ." In the end, it all comes down to individual preference and what you really do with it |

festwiz:dude dat is a blatant lie cos I use d m7 n it plays games n I mean GAMES(1.2gb) flawlessly,to tell me dat a windows phone of 512 RAM performs better at gaming Dan a 1g RAM phone without judging d number of cores in each phone is a fallacy, it simply means more cores more smoothness n I know dat d tm7 is just a dual core phone while d Nokia 630 is quad core so u should pitch ur 630 with android phones with quad cores n see d difference |

parrotibaba: I am not a windows phone entusiast as I have never even owned one but truth be told, the OS is much smoother and less hardware dependent than android.Fact is of all current OSes, android has the most hardware dependecies of all.And as such a dual-core windows phone will out-perform a dual-quad core android phone(all things being equal). I figure you have not used any of the more recent windows phones and that is why you have this opinion. 1 Like |
