Bad post.

There is office on all Windows phone products, the thing you didn't found it is telling more than your whole bashing post, it really takes two master's degree to be capable to go to app list and go to letter "O" and magically you'll find OFFICE there in all it's Powerpoint/Excel/Word glory, now I have a dilemma, how the hell you can manage to root android phones and couldn't manage to find an app on a phone..that's strange.

And about the front camera dirt you know that's not a WP bug or something..it's a unit production failure, so you could easily get it fixed at any Nokia Care center according to product's warranty or the store where the phone was bought could change it for another one.

Now there is another thing.... if to read your whole post it takes two seconds to understand you didn't own any windows phones and you're another "i need to somehow argue my choice" fanboy.

thinking to go to android? i just got here from there.. :D
[Windows Phone 8 General] yenkoPR:
nice ! U got my point u just argued about two things! For the others than android is better... Thats what u meanto to right? Fan boy xD. Jerk ?
[Windows Phone 8 General] VSparxx:
And where does it say i need to argue about each your point ? I argued about the most obvious lies, don't want such replies don't post obvious lies...simple.

Why should you argue about which OS is better? If you like android like it if you like WP like it... It's about YOUR OPINION!
[Windows Phone 8 General] Nicolfa:
[MENTION=4368480]yenkoPR[/MENTION] those "free" apk's your side loading wouldn't be illegal would they. I find its the second most common reason a user asks me to root a device, free tethering being the first. Both circumventing paying for a legal product (I know of a few needed side load apps for companies but not many for pure consumer use). This is the exact reason WP doesn't allow unverified xap to work without store checking, its a feature not a fault with the os.
[Windows Phone 8 General] :
Yeah but cracked apps are ideal for you to try the game and decide if you will buy it ;)
[Windows Phone 8 General] VSparxx:
No.

Ummm....no, ideal would be to have a try button in the marketplace, and fortunately WP has one, I wouldn't think someone who sideloaded a cracked app. will then buy it, those things just don't work together well.
[Windows Phone 8 General] :
Do all apps have this try buttons? Some android apps have a seperate trial version but as wp not all of them ;) And in some ways trial apps are not represantive of the real app ;)
[Windows Phone 8 General] VSparxx:
Well, the try button is available on a vast majority of paid apps.. usually if there isn't a try button then it's a popular app. or game and the developer did think there isn't need for a try button.

[Windows Phone 8 General] :
OK. You won't change your opinion. Anyway yes installing cracked apps it's illegal and not right because you don't support the developers but that doesn't actually means that we could install apps only from the store... Take for example PCs where you can download a programme and then install it.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Gennew:
wp is surely the best bt app wise,even symbian is better and am seriously considering risking the change hard as it may be.....
[Windows Phone 8 General] huynhtran38:
according to his opinion that his thgif still easier to use than android, from virtual keyboard layout 2 2 key home side very scientific. iphne or WindowsPhone nhieuf longer when it's inconvenient!
[Windows Phone 8 General] joestrouth1:
I like both. I use both daily. Try and buy what will work best for you, that's really all there is to the debate.

As far as cracked apps, xda is pretty much the worst place on the internet to talk about getting paid software for free. You may have your own views but most here do not take kindly to circumventing the law to use someone else's work for free and then bragging about it or asking for help doing more of it.
[Windows Phone 8 General] ddaflorez:
Mm guess im getting in love with wp after being using android for years. Had a galaxy s5 and that phone was a beast ! Performance, smoothness everything was perfect. But i switched to wp because wanted to try something different. I must say that i miss hundred of apps and that at the beginning i was getting frustated for this. But after a month of use i must say that wp is getting better every day. Eventhoug i still miss some things of android The most i use wp it the most i like it.
[Windows Phone 8 General] geddeeee:
Thats why the Windows Phone Store also has the option to 'Try' before you buy!!!!

Welcome to the future.... :D
[Windows Phone 8 General] sardelich:
if you find me anybody with android or iphone that didnt do any kind of hardware button reset or battery pull put in almost one year, then we can talk. August 2013 got my 920, did one hard reset after the 8.1 install.Heck, if I had power all the time, I think uptime would be 365 days. And I come from years of android usage. I just have to add that there is no dropbox and i need manual ip settings on wifi and proper mp3 player that can play folders, but the build quality and stabilty is just f... awesome. And camera, oh well...get me all those samsung iphone htc users...low light 4 mpx sensors :D :D this is nokia with zeiss after all ;)
[Windows Phone 8 General] :
My brother has a WP and really the try option is in 5% of the paid apps he wants to try. For example Asphalt 8 when it was paid because now is free didnt have a try option. I dont say of course go crack all the apps, I do not. And remember that Play Store apps are 1,283,493 (source http://www.appbrain.com/stats/number-of-android-apps) and Windows Phone Store apps passed 255,000 in Januare this year (source http://www.gsmarena.com/windows_pho...apps_10_million_downloads_a_day-news-8843.php). This is a great increase but Play Store apps again are more... Anyway you can buy whichever product you want each one has their advantages and disadvanstages

As a dude who stayed 2 years on WP, moving from 7 to 7.5 to 7.8 to 8 to 8.1 all I can say is this. Grass is always greener...

There are pros and cons, and if you are me every time you move you get too hard on the cons. What I like on android is the ability to do some of those "neat" things, like eg downloading a PDF file, converting it to a .mobi file and read it through the kindle app, I like to be able to download, edit and share any file and all that. These are things that are indeed cool but I don't get to do them very often after all. The other stuff is pretty much meh for me, customization theming and all that are fun for a little while, then the magic ends and I normally stick with a very basic theme, two home screens with a grid of apps, the few I really use. Widgets are worthless at the end of the day, I just wanna open my apps FAST when I need them. Currently I'm on the Nexus 5 and I find myself missing the very good night shots on my Lumia, the spotless audio footage from concerts and stuff, and the great sun readability.

My next phone will most likely be a WP again, given that something comes by with a massive screen and great hardware. Maybe out of boredom, maybe just for a change, but I decided not to think about it till the end of the year anyway. Probably the two options after lots of inner fights are just equal right now for me, simple as that.
[Windows Phone 8 General] kal_el_x:
As an owner of both a newer android device as well as a higher end WP8 handset, heres what I have to say

Apps - Yes android has more and more polished apps. The gap is closing rapidly though and I increasingly only use android for some apps not available on WP8 yet (BBM, flipboard). However, if apps are important to you then go ahead with android or iOS without second thoughts. Windows Phone still has a few years to catch up in that department.

Smoothness - This is one thing you get spoiled with when using WP8. Ive been using the 925 for an year now and I still notice how fluid the UI is. Absolutely butter smooth operation with zero lag. Ive used low end WP8 devices like the 520 as well and they are the same. WP8 is easily the smoothest OS followed by iOS. So when I got my S5 i was a little disappointed how it had lag when scrolling through the menus or in the browser and had to get Nova launcher immediately. Tried the Z2 as well but it was even slower with even more scrolling lag. Out of the box, the galaxy s5 and Z2 are light years slower than the year old 925 when it comes to UI.

Intuitive - When I got the galaxy S5 and saw the wall of icons, it was a little overpowering at first. Android throws everything at you all at once while WP8 is far more organized and intuitive. Even the language used in the various menus and tabs in the UI is far more natural and uses full sentences that resemble speech. The only thing that comes to mind when using WP8 is 'Ease of use'.

Screen wise, the lumia has better sun light legibility while the galaxy S5 is larger and sharper and watching 1080p videos on it is breath taking. Water proofing comes in more handy than expected and the camera overpowers the 925s unit with ease. In low light however, the 925 holds its own and even surpasses, especially if used on a tripod thanks to its available 4 second shutter speed time.

Overall both phones are good in their own regards, the galaxy S5 is a monster when it comes to raw processing power but Android holds it back. If the same hardware was running WP8 it wouldve been a dream phone. As you can see, even though I use my GS5 for the apps, the 925 is still my daily driver thanks to its stability, reliability and smooth performance.

Please excuses the shaky Q10 photo
[Windows Phone 8 General] lohtse:
As a BIG android fan(have 10 plus devices) using in wp is a HUGE learning curve and one that I am struggling with..

for me it's mostly the lack of good apps and the locking down of the OS..

Simply things like changing sdcards (have 520) are just a pain. I move a lot of apps to SDcard(too many with data to move back) and now would seem I will have to do a hard reset and reinstall them WTF!!!! I understand the need for security etc but please could they not add a function to allow a reinstall instead of a hard reset!!!?? At least with android when moving roms or changing cards you can restore from a back up and even ios you can via itunes!!

The lack of functions in most apps is pathetic when compared to IOS and Android too.. Just look at sms and phone functions and again compare them... they hark back to the days before smartphones, and are almost child like!!!!

But having said all this... WinPhone is awesome for stability and speed... So fluid and usable... As a phone and OS it has a LOT of growing up to do and MS need to listen to the users and sort out issues and features.. And when they do it will become a killer OS...
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Allowing apps to send SMS directly is what gets you the massive numbers of malware apps that send premium SMS without your knowledge. There's a very good reason WP8 doesn't allow apps to do thing that may cost you money (like placing calls or sending SMS) without you explicitly choosing to do so!
[Windows Phone 8 General] :
Every time an app tries to send an SMS message it warns you. Of you want you can skip this warning for future SMS. Also I think that there is not malware in android. At first when you install an app it tells you which permission this app has ( eg camera ,sdcard,internet etc). Then you can always uninstall it if you find it suspicious (I have never found one) and also you can read the reviews and feedbacks of other users. BTW this thread has gone off topic or I am the only one thinking so??
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
There are thousands of malware apps in Android (about 97% of all mobile malware targets Android, most of the rest is old stuff targeting obsolete platforms like Windows Mobile and Symbian). Nearly all of them - to the point that at once point one could detect about 2/3 of them just by looking for a given code snippet in the app - use premium SMS to steal money from you. The protections that Android tries to put on apps sending messages (capabilities, UI notifications, etc.) are routinely bypassed, as well...
[Windows Phone 8 General] :
Well is this an answer to my previous post? Have you ever had an android phone? And if yes when? What do you mean by malware maybe adware? Because malware is not present in android. That's what you see when an app tries to send an SMS:

[It's a free SMS]

I don't see how an app can bypass it... Maybe accidentally press the "remember my choice" button?
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
No, that's what you see when an app doesn't bother to bypass that UI before trying to send an SMS. That's also fairly new, most of the Android-using world is on versions without that feature. People have been able to send SMS from Android apps without declaring the SMS capability at all; Android's security is full of holes like that. It's basically to the mobile world what Windows is to desktop/laptop/workstation machines: popular and widely deployed, decently secure as long as you stay up to date (which many Android users can't and many more don't bother with), don't install any OEM software/drivers (which every Android phone comes chock full of, and it's all terrible), and don't install software from sketchy sources (the Play store is good, though not perfect, these days... but a lot of Android users either supplement it with other sources or don't use it at all).

Claiming Android doesn't have malware is just flat-out wrong, though. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonk...n-android-this-is-the-easy-way-you-stay-safe/. Very little of it's on the Play store - about 0.1% of Play store apps were found to have malware when the report was written - but tons of the stuff that is hosted on third-party stores (or that gets passed around other sites, sadly including this one on occasion) is malicious.
[Windows Phone 8 General] :
You are right about security. It's not perfect in android. But Windows for desktop ,as you say, is popular because they are simple, useful and widespread and this makes them more secure. Google has stated that from the 0.1% of the apps in Play Store is "malicious" the great majority is not because they are root apps or hack apps for example the ones that give you more money in a game. And as far as other stores considered don't use them you shouldn't actually. They may have viruses and play store has most apps so the average user doesn't use them. Android also is becoming more secure and more reliable. There was an entire update from 4.2 to 4.3 that was for security for example. But unfortunately not every phone gets it because of the big OEMs like Samsung. The android experience I am talking about is the original one which you can go through if you buy a nexus which is updated frequently.

I liked the WP era for the time I had it, I owned the HTC 8XT on Sprint and it did me well until i woke up one morning and died. Like not battery dead, phone dead. DED. D-E-D. No lights would cut on after plugging it in, and i only owned the phone for 3 months, and i got rid of it last month. Switched to a Galaxy Nexus cause it was the cheapest on eBay at the time. It was alright, app store was okay but it was growing.

Just bought a wp 8.1 device (lumia 1520) as my android devices are no More reliable after Google Play services update 6.5.87. Extreme and sporadic battery drain from 100 to less than 20% within 3 hours. Dead battery is great while you need the mobile at work... No workaround did repair the problem. Wp 8.1 works like a charm other than my note no more lags. Only some missing apps and little setup options. I keep both, wp8 and android.

[Windows Phone 8 General] Classified00:
If there won't be any significant progress with W10 for mobile, then I'm ready to leave Windows for Android. Start menu is not so ugly right now, but It's not that what I expected. And MS should make some new high-end devices. And there is a lot of crap apps in Store which should be removed from there. If to the end of this year situation won't get better, I'll leave MS and his OS for laggy Android.
[Windows Phone 8 General] noelito:
im currently using android and windows phone

I had to cave to android or iPhone someday, I just couldn't stay within windows phones what with the limited apps and lack of support from Microsoft. im somewhat satisified using my G3 but its a laggy jenky experience, I used laucher 8 pro and several tweaks to make it "windows" like and so its tolerable. I really really like the 5.5 inch screen and how slim it is WITH removable battery and expandable storage. I just wish Microsoft would take cues from android OEMs

You don't have to leave WP or Android. Just carry two phones. I have a LG G2 and a Lumia 830. Both operating systems are great,bthere is no need the choose. I have tried iOS but it was just not intuitive at all.

I did the opposite... I changed from Android to windows phone because of all the lag and stutter. I have a galaxy tab pro tablet which I use for the games and things I need from android. But I really love how smooth windows works and how everything just works.

I don't miss the LG g3 and I don't miss the xperia z2.... I miss my galaxy note 2! That was an awesome phone for me.

I carry two phones as well; ATIV SE and Galaxy S4. They're both running perfectly. There isn't anything on either phone that I need (when I'm on the go) that the other doesn't have available. The only reason I use 2 is because I like to multitask. Plus, having one device connected to the network and another in WiFi-only mode allows you to have one phone that is strictly a tool/computer. It took me a couple days to get used to having a second phone in my pocket, but now that I'm used to having two devices at my exposal, I cannot imagine carrying just 1 phone. When mobile x64 really sets in, and we can get the necesarry specs in a good-sized package (Moore's Law), I'll switch to a single device.

What can I say I am in love with windows 8.1 on my Nokia Lumia 830. I have tired every is going and developed for all is currently available but for me windows phone experience is far more greater and android I don't seen any reason why I would go back well the apps maybe but that's about it but if I got another android phone I wouldn't use it as my daily compared to a few years ago when I was a ultimate android user and used every resource to make my android experience better but that right there is it download fall you beening able to used custom Roms , tweaks, ect as you seem to want more and more that you end up with something that experience errors or being bricked if Google had a locked OS for all phones think the popularity of android would be less my wife has a mini 2 and stock and its fine as it is the only thing I would do change the interface on blinkfeed lol ?.

So far my 830 is the best phone I had or HTC Leo lol but we know why that's the ultimate phone and my HTC 8x build quality wow shame HTC and windows just don't get updated enough but I would love the try the m8 on windows phone as the UK market didn't get a chance to have it. I think if windows mobile was opened up more I think there would be more interest in the os and I do think Microsoft should look into that as us at xda would make it better or as I said will it destroy it!! There god and bad in both systems just use the one you like not what other people say because in the end of the day you have to use that phone not me or other

A lot of people is talking about "Apps gap", it's so 2011 again. And it's wrong also. Nobody talks instead of apps you only have on Windows Phone. I have a Nexus tablet for Android, IOS I don't need and a Lumia 930 with Denim.

This phone is truly amazing. There is not a single app I need that I can't find on Windows Phone but there are a lot of Lumia apps I don't find on other platforms.
