    WP is a beautiful OS; and the Lumia is a beautiful phone. The combination is a match made in heaven; but the only reason I haven't jumped ship yet is because it skipped some basics - like no BT file transfer and no USB-OTG.

    But it just needs time to mature - like iOS and Android did.

    Maybe I'll get an Apollo

I did not mention any brand. But they did, for years, doing it systematically. I do not know why you took it so personally, but believe me, I was very lenient to my message. So, leave aside the hypocrisy and have fun with fake plastic gadgets.

            WP has good fluidity and clean nice looking UI, I agree. The reason why I'm still sticking with Android because: 1. Freedom to your OS and 2. You could get free pirated apps with .apk. Don't give me those "you can buy a phone but can't afford its apps" bullshits. You can buy a fancy laptop but you still torrent your fav movies!? Don't be such a hypocrite... But still looking towards the Microsoft's event on 20 June and let's see if they will be a little bit opened.

Plastic fake. Obviously you didnt have any better garbage to spout out. Lol. Couldn't even make this interesting. Their hardware is not the top end stuff. That doesn't mean it sucks either.

                nokia, 06 Jun 2012im a great fan of nokia... but nokia hardware is lacking...... moreNokia's flagships hardwear is the best, it was always the best and it will be the best. Thats a fact, and if you are a Nokia fun you should have know it very well. Dont confuse plastic-fake-gadjets with real phone devices and don't forget that other brands have stolen many many many many many patents from Nokia.

                    ok, ok it's good to reach 100.000 apps in a short period but we want the big games, games witch are present on Android and iOS for ages by now. We don't want 1000 apps for weather or fart apps, we want games like ALL THE SERIES OF ANGRY BIRDS, EA 3D GAMES, GAMELOFT 3D GAMES. When Windows Phone will have that, I will consider buying one, til' then...

And guess what? My Lumia 710 is faster in booting up, opening/switching apps, loading web pages than my Galaxy S II. Even pinch zooming on heavy web pages is much smoother on Lumia 710 than on Galaxy S II. I've never experienced any slow down on Lumia 710. I can't say the same thing about Galaxy S II. Galaxy S II remains the much superior phone but in the speed department, the Lumia 710 run circles around it.

                                        Its ok to have crazy moving wallpapers and chaotic arrangments if you just like to sit staring at it all day, but I actualy use my phone alot and need a simple and effective layout. WP does exactly that.
