[Nokia Lumia 800] dlads:
RIGHT!, first of all wp7 is in it's teething stages and has been for a while, it's microsoft ffs, think about how long we had to wait for W7 lol, it has a monumental amount of catching up to do in terms of apps and usuablity not to mention the phones which wp7 has come out on are a much lower spec at this day and age than the rest of the smart phone world, yea the OS is minimal but it doesn't detract from the fact that dual core may still be needed for some of the more serious 3d applications.

As for the Android platform, the android platform came along and broke into a market and has actually began to dominate it, in my place of work alone, the sales guys sold 10 android phones to every 1 iphone and even less windows phones, which imho is nothing short of "Fantastic".

As for the problem with the particular device which you have, the 10 inch samsung tablet, that tablet is way buggy, it is sluggish through menus and it isn't the best tablet on the market, not by a country mile, although with the fact that Honeycomb was the main update for all tablets capable of running it, i don't think it's too bad, a little rough around the edges but not bad for a starting point, ICS will be a massive improvement, did you even put a custom rom on the device? I've seen a pretty big difference in the two roms! I'm assuming that you didn't which is why the experience wasn't very good for you.

If you want to see how honeycomb should be run then try living with the LG Optimus or the Xoom 2, or the new Sony tablet for a while, none of these lag and seldom crash, it would appear that you've had some bad experiences and decided to slag off the entire platform, pretty bad if you ask me.

The android platform is an achievement in many ways, it's given the developers of the world a place to work and achieve things the major companies didn't, a stable operating system on which to use as their daily smartphone, neither IOS nor Windows phone can boast this as both of their OS' are not open source and they never will be, meaning development will always be scarce, i agree there are bugs but android is going to be big, theres no stopping it, can you honestly say you would prefer a Lumia over a Galaxy Nexus? I don't think so.

Any of the smartphones on the market can install apps over the air straight to the phone ffs! what are you talking about? My point was the lumia can not get apps downloaded from the net and install through a file manager, because it doesn't have one, you tell me how to get angry birds (which is £2.29p on the market for wp7) installed on the lumia for free? You can't! if you can then spread the word matey because i think we would all like to know.

As for welcome to 2011? Welcome to 2008 my friend, which is about as long as the android platform has been out for and has been able to install apps just like that with any apk (2008 is a guess by the way i can't be bothered googling it)

And lastly as for battery guzzlers the windows phone lasts about the same as the sensation and the Desire HD, and the HTC Hero and the Galaxy S and S2 and pretty much any other bloody smart phone, battery life isn't anything special, no smart phone is going to get you more than a day, including the Nokia or any other wp7 for that matter, it's just a fact, unless you choose to switch it to airplane mode and just stare at it because you've got no friends.

My Lumia lasts me about 14 hours, which is infact a little less than the Sensation did (which was overclocked) Same usage, how do you explain that? And believe me i know how to squeeze every little bit of battery out of a phone.

I can tell your a bit of a noob with phones because of pretty much every comment you just made so instead of just calling you a noob, i've now set you straight ok?

I'm not slagging off the lumia or wp7, read my original post and you will see that, i brought up bad points as well as good, and it was literally my opinion.

PS: I deal with antiviruses for phones too, know how many i've seen yet? None. so theres your malware, not saying it doesn't exist, but theyre so far and few between, you would probably find more viruses or malware on a mac.
