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

There's really nothing special about the windows phone OS...

Quick question....How do you virtually use a phone

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
dude you have little intuition. You talking about a game of 1.2 Gb like its a big deal, you need to play Galaxy on fire for android its around 2.6GB. But thats not it. I'm talking about a small online game called avatar world online. I play for hours on the 630, but on the M7 it freezes after about 20 mins it annoyed me. Also same for six guns on the 630 plays better with no dropped frames at all but on the M7 you can see it stutter when you move your character

u r d one with little intuition to not comprehend what u just quoted... r u dat blind dat u didn't see d cores-difference? ur 630 should play games more smoothly Dan d m7 cos its quad core while d m7 is dual core,can't u understand simple English? compare d 630 with quad core android phones n den we will talk or u can keep up with d crap u typed ...whatever rocks ur boat pal
Re: What's So Special About The Windows Phone.. by parrotibaba(m): 10:21pm On Oct 04, 2014
...and one more thing,I didn't hype d ability of d m7 in playing 1.2 or 3.8gig worth of games,I just made it clear dat I hv played so many big games with d m7 n it played flawlessly ...but den i don't expect u understand anyways

Well I use them for an average of 1 month, get bored and dispose them...
Recently, I thought of getting the lumia 1020, but I'm scared I would dump it like others..
That's why I created the thread to see people's opinion..!

Htc actually released a window version fo their flagship android fone 'htc one m8' with sames specs...the benchmark showed window version saves 70% more battery charge,far clearer and sharper pics,better display,smoother and faster device(which became the second fastest fone of all time). .....cheap and low-end window phones actually behave like high end fone.a 512mb window fone is far better than and android fone with 1gb ram with other things being equal.dis is due to a flawless operating system.havnt u wondered y iphone of 1gb ram outperform an android of 2 to 3gb ram?

It has more apps than BB,gradually closing app gap with android and ios
. bb10.2 supports Apk files. Nw u cn use all android apps on BlackBerry. Nd with bb10.3 coming in lyk 2 months. The android appstore (amazon) comes to BlackBerry officially. So BlackBerry has more apps than windows phone 8

sorry to correct you the windows phone store has around 300k apps while bb app world has around 75k both on os 10 and lower

BlackBerry os10.2 cn load all android apps. Nd BlackBerry os 10.3 will officially av android store preloaded
Re: What's So Special About The Windows Phone.. by martineverest(m): 7:09am On Oct 05, 2014
It will not.amazon stores has less than 255k android apps while windows phone store has close to 400k apps.windows apps store increases with 500 apps per day.

And bb10 runs Apk. So there r oda appstore usable aside from amzon app store eg snap(google play client with over 1 mil apps). Or we can download our apps in apks from any website that has it. Same way we download our mp3s from anywhere.

@Bolded My Blackberry Offers that...
When it comes to design, WP z Unique but so z BB..
Android phones normally have more features than WP..
That's why I'm yet to find something thrilling about the phone that would make me choose it as a long term phone

. Snap is a google play client for bb10. Ports ALL google play apps to BlackBerry 10. So technically. It has more apps than the windows store

You don't even know what you are saying, OS optimization is very key to use of less system resources . . . .

Symbian with her obsolete chip sets bla bla bla was a classic example of supreme OS optimization and maturity . . .

Appears the OP is using a Windows Phone 7.xx device to make his informed opinion . . .

With my WP8.1, it has been bliss so far. The upcoming unification of of all windows platform with Windows 10 will be a game changer . . . .
