Nokia Lumia 820 review: Backup squad

22 November 2012
Back up against the wall, Nokia looks to the launch of the first Windows Phone 8 smartphones as a make or break moment. It’s not essential for the Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 to become bestsellers, but it’s absolutely vital that they convince users of Microsoft’s mobile platform's potential...

AnonD-78683, 24 Nov 2012You are just a nickname behind a monitor... So please now o... moreYes I'am, and so you are.
And I don't know if you are old enough, you are just a nickname behind a screen, right?
First: why you are saying I'm a Nokia fan? Which moment I've said that I even like Windows Phone? I'm just sharing facts against a bunch of fanboys. You don't need to believe me that Galaxy S2/3 freezes and lags just like any other phone, you can do a Google search if you want to.
This lag problem on the Lumia 710 might be a isolated issue that you brought it up prettending that all Lumia 710 are like that, however, ocasional lags and freezes are normal and obviously will happen to every phone some day.
It's so funny that you people love to say "YOU ARE A FANBOY" like a argument but in fact I don't even like Windows Phone either, I'm not deffending it and I don't think it's the best OS in the world like some Android users thinks about Android, I just can't stand people telling lies about Android phones just because they love it to much.

    Why do fan boys have to come into every comment section and start a flame war? And it's always the same arguments over and over. Comment on the review or phone, don't make it a pissing contest of which OS is better.

      You Nokia fans always make this same lie about your friend or mother or sister or whatever having an Android phone and bla bla bla.
      Don't you think we old enough to know when you lie?
      Take this fact of lagging Windows Phone + the weird thing it doesn't support multitasking and lags!

      And this is one topic of plenty of topics in WP forum people are complaining of constant lagging of WP so stop comparing IOS to WP because WP is a laggy and boring OS with no apps and games while IOS is way better.

They simply aren't fanboys.

All samsung galaxy phone's that comes with TouchWiz launcher are totally "bug" free. Who told u to flash ur rom? A little learning is a dangerous thing. Dont flash roms if ur knowledge is limited. Never root - you will Never face any "issue". Cheap phones may be laggy or slow - but they are "Cheap" phones.

Still have two... moreYou can see in XDA non complained of Custom ROMS because there are 2 types of custom ROMS: 1-Developed ROMS from manufactures "This is what I'm talking about because of bugs free" 2-Original Developed ROMS from source of Android "It has some bugs".

                        And I'm an Android user since 2009 may be i have bugs in only 1% from type 1 ROMS and 10% from type 2.

                        Android in JB is completely rocks its so smooth in UI and rich in features and i don't know how you get bored from open source which you can have any launchers even launchers emulate like WP Metro launcher and IOS Launcher, while you say you don't get bored from non changeable launcher in WP Metro and IOS... it completely unreasonable state!

                        And you also said "An OS (Android) that needs reboot every couple days or factory reset every couple weeks is not a reliable OS for me. Prefer WP and iOS."
                        This proves 100% you never owned Android phone because me and all my friends have Android we never needed to factory reset, Only when you flash a new custom rom.
                        Why Nokia fans make up stuff like this to justify Nokia's failure? unbelievable people.

Sure, Android gives you more options but Android is too unreliable for my taste. Flash custom roms just to fix some bugs then you'll get even many more bugs in those custom roms. I got tired of flashing custom ROMs after awhile. WP and iOS are much more stable if you haven't used them.

                            May be Android lags in phones with Qualcomm CPUs but still it doesn't lag like how Nokia fanboys describe it... Even Windows XP lags if there are several application run in background! Android lags when you run a lot of apps in background without shutting them in an appropriate way, In Samsung devices just hold the center button for 2 seconds and release your hand it will show you all apps, you can close them or you can go though any of them like real computer, even now with latest update for S3 4.1.2 i can enjoy multi-windows view like Note II.
                            So have fun with the most limited outdated deserted OS ever = Windows Phone

Those things are way faster than any Android. They are faster OS because of restricted hardware and they can optimize the hardware better. Android is way too fragmented with many different SoC and GPUs. Plus Android was not created for touchscreen.

                                  hell try implementing a HTC sense flipclock on iOS....it lags like hell...(after jailbreaking and cydia)

                                  these OS are lightweight OS which dont truly multitask.therefore mid range specs of windows phone and iOS match high end specs of android.

                                  but u have to consider pricing as well....since iOS and WP8 offer subpar hardware in those terms at the same price as top dog android hardware.....so they are in a way making more profit by fooling customers.

                                  and software well android has better functionality and features and is better...PERIOD
