Muhammed ali, 08 Jun 2015I am also buying lumia 535 is looking very cool... Microsof... moreBetter go for Lumia 540 which just launched here in Pak or if you can afford and 5.7 inches display is not too big for you, then 640XL is definitely the best choice.

    Well low end WP phones are much smoother than low end Android phones which are just a lag-fest. It makes much more sense to buy a WP or BB10 device if youre buying on the low end.

    Good for these people.

            AnonD-146024, 08 Jun 2015Was anybody really expecting iOS to be on first 2 positions... moreNot exactly friend. Iphone are really not that expensive in Pakistan like you said. Average 16 GB iPhone 6 is between 80 to 70,000 rupees so get your facts straight next time about Pakistan. Usually you will find haters from our neighboring country who always claims I like every Pakistan post that their country is far superior to Pakistan in every way which is not even slightly true.

                  Was anybody really expecting iOS to be on first 2 positions in a super price conscious country like Pakistan? Average selling price of iPhone in Pakistan is around Pak Rs100000. Yes, 1 with 5 zeros.

                    Anonymous, 08 Jun 2015This is the main problem with Android. It's customizable UI... moreWell I agree with you in a great extent.What makes android so successful lie in the fact its aggressive support to its own apps like youtube including other services like gmail,Google maps, play store etc while there is no official youtube app or google maps for WP.what makes WP store behind play store also the fact app developing process for Android is developer friendly while in WP it is tedious though MS dropped Microsoft registration fee for Windows Phone Dev Center indefinitely from 99$ to 19$ last year.

                                  PKC, 08 Jun 2015The only reason Windows Phone is not selling nicely because... moreThis is the main problem with Android. It's customizable UI is not shaping on the OS but instead it's putting weights on it creating all the lag, bugs, crashes and so on. IOS cannot be customized as Android, yet I see you complain only about WP. Windows phone on the other hand works so smooth because it's operating system is so stable. All in all, those who want a fast and stable operating system can easily choose WPs. I am a former android user btw... Windows phone has a lot of potential because of its stability and I wish more people would seek performance and functionality instead of silly

                                      Well I am not sure how much true the news is,may be if a survey is conducted in different places of different big cities or collecting data from telecom operators if possible.But I did see Lumia 535 in hands of few young people one in Bahria Town Lahore and I was shocked to see it while I my self using Lumia 820 for past 16 months.MS really need to work on OS polishing + app store.

                                        Yes this is right Microsoft Windows phone doing good business in Pakistan after they introduce budget phones like 430 , 530 , 535 , 435
                                        Microsoft should also introduce Successor Lumia 1020
