Just a comment where many people including me, didn't buy any Win phone because of the UI. We need freedom and not dominant by OS companies.

I used iPhone6 Plus, but sold within 1 week because didn't liked the ecosystem. It's my personal choice. I like Android because we have options. LG, Samsung, HTC, etc. etc. etc......

But after Google upgraded it's api Metrotube is little buggy. But still there is My tube. It is also better than the official app on Android. Because of this Google is planning to support offline viewing again for Android official app.

        lonesomedovepk, 08 Jun 2015Well I agree with you in a great extent.What makes android ... moreTrue, but Metrotube and Here maps are both superior compared to the official YouTube and Google map apps. Fwiw I find Google has pretty bad apps that can't even match their own desktop version of things. That's exactly why Metrotube and Here excel.

              Windows 10 is probably going to be a gigantic mess. Microsoft has rushed themselves (no surprised) and committed to a launch date they can't possibly hope to meet on such a tight schedule. The software is going to be buggy, unstable, and probably unusable. And of course, It's 100% guaranteed to slow down your computers. After I JUST managed to fix all my drivers and speed my computer up to brand new levels (thanks to upgradewindows.info) I just refuse to bank on Microsoft not messing up this Windows 10 release..and frankly my computer runs so smoothly now that I don't even need to pick up what they are putting down, if you catch my drift.

                It's not like here we don't buy Android phones, android is still on the top but due to over-pricing of iphones no one likes to buy until unless anyone would love to waste his money, that's the reason for windows phone to be second on the list.

Android is laggy OS and and spams and even it lags on 2 Gb ram so people are slowly shifting to wp. I my friends are using WP. My friends hate Android because of laggy OS.

                        Who will buy apple phones for huge amounts if they are poor.
                        And how can people buy phones which lags like lagdroids. WP is great OS and works smoothly on 512 Ram that's why they are buying Lumia.

                          And who said the majority of people in Pakistan is poor? There are 70 to 80% people in Pakistan who are middle class to rich people. If you count farmers and maid as poor. Well they are available in every country. Even our middle class Pakistani families have maids to clean our home every morning and some of them even have their own servant's. And I'm only talking about middle class families not rich. So Pakistan is not a poor country. And think twice next time when you talk about Pakistan

                            Is it so difficult for Windows Phone to have File Manager App. This is present since their first traditional desktop computers.

But the encouraging sales figure of Lumia 535 still gives us hope that may be from now, MS will take Pakistani smartphone market more seriously.

                                        lonesomedovepk, 08 Jun 2015Well I agree with you in a great extent.What makes android ... moreI agree. Hope they will improve the app creation to make it faster in Windows 10. Other than that there are apps for almost everything. They may sometimes be even better than the original ones. For example, the Youtube app on my bro's Android device continues crashing from time to time, while on Windows phone I use Tubecast which is first of all stable and can also play songs in the background or with the phone locked (I can also download videos for offline mode). Other example is the official Tumblr client which lacks tons of features while the third party app Ported for Tumblr has all the features it has on Android. Same with the third party Audiocloud app for Soundcloud which offers functionality and stability. So the third party thing proves in many cases to be something even better than expected and I like that Google cannot control it's apps here on WP so they can mess things up here as they did on Android. I wrote this comment using Worldflow which is really really accurate compared to Swiftkey which I use on my Android tablet.
