The first time I booted my WP8 phone (Lumia 920) I thought the look was crap. Until I started installing apps and playing around with the live tiles. I like that fact that you can control the size of the tiles, and as such the amount of info you get for each relevant app. I find multitasking to be a breeze on WP8. The Windows Store also has more than enough content to cover my needs.

      I'm seriously concidering buying two phones :
      The Lumia 1020 and the Galaxy S4 Active

      Get a taste of what the two different O/S are like side by side during every day use.

While the most simplest part of the android even with text alone looks awesome.

                      'Wi-Fi can be kept on at all times to determine your position, even when you toggle it off.'

                      Does this mean it will track your position even when you tell it not to

                        Wiki extract :

                        "The sandboxing and permissions system lessens the impact of vulnerabilities and bugs in applications, but developer confusion and limited documentation has resulted in applications routinely requesting unnecessary permissions, reducing its effectiveness.Several security firms, such as Lookout Mobile Security,AVG Technologies,and McAfee,have released antivirus software for Android devices. This software is ineffective as sandboxing also applies to such applications, limiting their ability to scan the deeper system for threats.

                        Research from security company Trend Micro lists premium service abuse as the most common type of Android malware, where text messages are sent from infected phones to premium-rate telephone numbers without the consent or even knowledge of the user.Other malware displays unwanted and intrusive adverts on the device, or sends personal information to unauthorised third parties.Security threats on Android are reportedly growing exponentially."

                        So, come again with "most secure mobile O/S".

                        Knowledge is Power.

                        Peace out

Fact is that WP8 is butter smooth compared to Android and on top of that WP8 doesn't need a quad core to get in going. The browser on WP8 is rated one of the best too. Fact is that Android is the most infected mobile O/S out there. Go do some research...

                                  I don't think it's right to have a multi-user support
                                  for a mobile phone .. after all .. each mobile phone is personal .. almost be used from only one person .:)

                                    "Wi-Fi can be kept on at all times to determine your position, even when you toggle it off" - What does it mean? Why should my position be available even if I have switched off my Wi-Fi? Is it not violation of our privacy? Guys, please correct me if I have misunderstood this.
