Chrome is great…. On desktop. However, it’s a buggy slow mess on mobile.
Sorry, but please don’t suggest chrome to people for an optimal browsing
experience. It’s worse on iOS, but that’s only because of iOS limitation of
access.
Which phone is he using on Win 8.1? Does anyone know?
Android sucks. Windows takes it.
I never had a windows phone. I always kept with either Android or iPhone.
Should I give the windows phone a chance? I’m really into apps, so I don’t
think this will work for me.
I don’t care about the app difference. Windows Phone 8.1 is a superior
mobile OS. Not to mention, Google creeps me out these days. Their business
model is almost entirely ads. I’m more than happy to buy a phone using a
proprietary OS to un-fleece myself from Google’s increasingly *creepy*
business practices. I also don’t like how they *coerce* you into
participating in their products and services. If you sign up for a Google
service, you are essentially signing up for all of them. I’d rather pay
Microsoft for software as needed, because they are a software company, not
an ad company.
Windows phone will always be the underdog
Two things that the presenter made mistakes with, clearly not a WP8.1 user.
1) The Messaging hub on WP8.1 handles SMS and IM messaging from Facebook
(if you have already signed into your facebook account.
2) Internet Explorer also syncs with internet explorer on PC.
and there are other things (minor) that he never mentioned.
Tip right it down before you make the video.
google camera is still much better than nokia
I love the look of Android L, it is really pretty. I like Windows Phone too
but when you look at the LiveTiles there is way too much going on! You said
that almost all the space is used… I wouldn’t consider that a good thing!
Anyway great comparison
Does anyone know when Windows Phone 8.1 will be released? I like my Windows
Phone but there are still some bugs (e.g., you can’t download media
files–you have to stream them which means that you can’t use any other
feature on the phone or the file has to start playing from the
beginning–very annoying). I think all the bugs are fixed in 8.1 but the
release date keeps getting pushed further out.
Quite honestly I do like Windows Phone but it’s a shame they’re still
playing catch up. Wallpapers are just now being implemented…really? Quite
honestly in customization, Windows Phone is even more simple than iOS. The
Metro UI and Live Tiles are pretty but that’s pretty much it. Not much
functionality past that except seeing numbers or pictures. Windows Phone 7
amazed me, but Windows Phone 8.1 is a big disappointment.
windows phone never laggs like android
Microsoft’s Action Center is barely functional. Every single notification
has it’s own item instead of properly grouping like Android L does. Also no
interactive notifications. Also the quick toggles only have 4 slots, they
should expand to 8.
I Personally find the tiles hideous and too busy looking. And even though
windows is trying to catch up and Android I think will always be ahead with
its own features
KING + ANDROID = KINGROID
love nokia phones but windows need to change the interface. the square
boxes are horrible. at least allow me to put a wallpaper on the screen and
remove some of those horrible tiles/boxes
People who hate iOS or android or windows need to gtfo, they are all
. I think they are all great, I loved my nexus
superb, I’ve had 6 android phones and 2 tablets, I’ve also had two iPhones
including the awesome ip6
4 and 5 and I loved my ip5 And my 6, I want to try a windows 8.1 phone!
Which is the best?! I’ve heard it’s the lumia 930??
I prefer Windows Phone!
I dont understand why people say Windows Phone UI is beautiful? what the
hell?
If you try to compare WP to Android. You are a complete dumb ass. This
whole controversy is between iOS and Android. WP doesn’t even deserve a
spot in this argument. Its still an amateur OS and even Microsoft can
agree. Its not ready for comparison right now, maybe in 3-5 years we will
see.
I can t help it… mick(olai)s horrible russian Accent reminds me always
and every second of a bulgarian gypsy stolen goods handler and mugger!
Come on man… take some further english lessons. It is a real TORTURE to
listen to you rolling the “R” .
if you want to be a unique and you want a unique phone then go for windows
phone, the android look and stye are now common ..
As an avid android follower I really like Windows phone and where they’re
going with it but it seems most of their customer base is bunch of
kids..just dont read the comments below.
everybody hates Live tiles in Windows phone.. why they don’t change that
shit
Are windows phones good? Because I wanna buy the Nokia Lumia 520 at my
Walmart it only cost $50 and I wanna mess with and see how different the OS
is from apple and android (I’ve had both BTW).
