Crucify, 29 Feb 2012People who bitch about windows phones not having bluetooth ... moreDon't you know that NFC is just a pair-up technology? The actual thing working behind NFC is Bluetooth which enables 2 devices to transmit and receive data.

    People who bitch about windows phones not having bluetooth file transfer are either uninformed or just dumb trolls, Im guessing the latter.. Windows supports NFC and that is the future technology that will replace bluetooth. Stop making bluetooth as an excuse to bash a platform, atleast windows has NFC not like apple who still doesnt support it. Also microsoft already announced they will have SD card support in the future versions of Windows 8.

              AnonD-1564, 25 Feb 2012You answered your own question, you don't use certain thing... moresir as far as doing basic things on your phone ..... i think windows 7.5 is the best of all the only one complaints on windows phone is inabillty to use 3rd party apps like ( the best games and productivity apps here are mostly paid when you buy this platform and thers no other way you can download it ) thats why they go on android devices BUT as much as on how basic things you do on your phone (like posting pictures on facebook,twitter,location services, finding restaurant nearby, etc..) its better in windows phone i love the live tiles unified inbox deep integration on social networks better office docs supprt why dont you give a try on MANGO , ITS A WAY FAR BETTER THAT APPLES,ICE CREAM SANDWICH , AND BERRIES .. :)

                    I guess why do we use phones?
                    talking
                    texting
                    email
                    fun
                    maybe ios and android and BB have a real worry here?
                    not sure time will tell

                      AnonD-4697, 25 Feb 2012LoL NOT, I used for 2 weeks the N8 with BELLE and I feel li... moreI have both an Android(Gingerbread) and Symbian(Belle) smartphones. Both have 1ghz processors and 512mb of ram. They're both fast and smooth in their operation. But for my preferences and tastes, I like the Symbian Belle OS more. I like the graphics, animations and structure on the Belle unit more than the Android.

                      And I'm not new to this "smartphone craze". I've owned/used Motorola, Ericsson, Sony-Ericsson, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Apple, Blackberry, etc., etc., phones(feature or smart) in the past 15-20 years. Android is nothing special. And neither is iOS. Each and every phone OS has it's benefits and drawbacks.

                      The reason why Android is so frickin' popular is it's basically "free". As a manufacturer of mobile phones, using a free OS really adds to your bottom-line. Of course with all the lawsuits that have been filed by Apple & Microsoft, the "free" ride is over.

                      The main thing here is that, from my viewpoint, Belle is better than Gingerbread. No amount of fan-boyisms from trollers, whether for or against, will change my mind.

                            I don't know how to say this but im hearing google buying blackberry by Q4 2012 and licensing/creating a designated app for BBM for all major app markets. basically treating it like gmail. Google will then have an android corporate for business/schools/government and secure messaging.
