Smartphone advice, WP8 vs Android


Recommended Posts

If Facebook and games (Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, etc,.) are important to you, you should get an Android phone.

Actually the games on WP8 are great. There are some seriously nice games on it.

Those games you mentioned are on WP8. Lastly, Facebook is very integrated with the phone. You almost don't need the official application.

WP is right up your alley.

LOL!

thank you General Melchett. ;)

as for lumia 920 hardware problems, well, for the first 2 month i had lumia920 i hated it, i thought about getting an android (just not galaxy, i despise galaxy design) but! after the first update the random freezes reduced by 60 70 %, and after the latest firmware update(5957.1308) from nokia, well, not only the problem has been completely gone, {and i tried to make it freeze, but no luck ;) } it became even more fluid\smooth!

now after i got use to wp8, i can't use android anymore, its sluggish in comparison, it feel like using win95 after using win7.

This is just my own opinion after spending 3 months with Galaxy Note 2 and the Nokia 920. The official Facebook app on Note 2 is far superior than WP8. At least I still do not know to share a post from WP8 :-/

I decided to to with the Lumia 928 through Verizon and so far I am really enjoying this phone! Since so many mentioned FB on WP8 being bad, I don't agree, it works well for what I need when using it in mobile form. The games are great too, they list keeps growing.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
