Laggy and full of problems the OS Android has everything the user needs except being smooth and fast! WP has almost all the important apps and it's fast and smooth!

                    I have mine for 8 months full of apps and the phone doesn't break or lag.

                    For example my friend with a galaxy s3 was trying to open the albuns of his phone to show me some photos and guess what? He wasn't able to open it!!! He's excuse as all of Android users was that it had too many apps LOLOL and that he had to restart the phone ( it didn't work either) LOL

                    So don't try to blind people with your stupid comments get a life!

                      Nokia 2520 is the 10 inch tablet running the buggy and not so useful Windows RT, it's been announced and should be hitting the market soon. That being the case, the same folks announce an 8 inch Lumia tablet called the 2020 "illusionist",

                      So again, why but the big for nothing 2520 when you can wait for the illusion 2020; 8 inch and probably has the full Windows pro?

                      Microsoft Nokia is really disillusioned!

                            Market in Latin America is not as receptive like in US, Japan, EU (more people on low incomes) so it's not big news...and people dont buy WP, they take Nokia - if they put inside Symbian it will be same. Nokia can make money if they choose Android and 2nd OS in 2010...but Elop join Nokia with mission, promote WP dont care about market share, make money, what they have (Symbian, Ovi, maps, Qt, S40, MeeGo), he wasn't concerned with anything just Windows Phone, but who will buy this crap without Nokia logo ?!
                            If Samsung put Tizen in half of their phones, this OS will take more then WP gain in 3 years! :D A lot of work waiting for MS with WP, more functionality and freedom for users and producers.

                              Now! We all have our priorities, preferences, needs, likes and we only spent money where we feel worth it. What I think is good and best for me, I will buy, what you think is good and best for you. You will buy. End of argument. Its about the likes and dislikes. Everybody got their like and dislike. I dislike HTC and give priority below Samsung as I own a Note II but I have never bashed in any Samsung/Android articles about their negative points. The point is no device is perfect. It's the users who find what is perfect for them.

                              I may now kindly ask you to stop trolling in articles like you are doing. Will be a good relief to the regular readers. Also, you got questions about Windows Phone, we are always here and will gladly answer you and accept what is wrong. But getting on the negative side and trolling making the environment unenjoyable. Please avoid it sir. I am kindly thankful for you co-operation.

                              Thank you.

                                  Microsoft aren't gunning for Apple, they're gunning for the Android market share. They're up against Google.

                                  As for Apple, It won't make a jot of difference to them, as they have operated for years with Windows dominance.

My this account is registered with my original email ID too. I have been using it for almost over a year with the name Gelvin. I don't know if you were new or were with some other user name. There is no detailing option available here at GSMArena's article so I can't add any but you can always correct me. Furthermore, I have a disqus account at the blog and I do comment there which is registered from my original Facebook account and has been using it for over a year too. I never got banned from GSMArena before for any irregular behavior.

                                    About your comments. They were before logical but now you are just bashing/trolling in the article which I am sure you are admitting it as I do admit I was doing it too. Well, no problem. If you are looking for a peace settlement, I am up to forget everything and be the nice person which I was with you at day one.

                                    The Mod aren't doing their job well considering their blog section is always filled with spambots. Both Android and WP bots.

                                    Your comments only bring down hatred towards WP fanboys/Nokia fanboys. Well, I am a Nokia fan and I don't find it that much hurting but you may be hurting/annoying a lot with some arguments and calling them out as this lead to others called you out.

                                    As you described, Microsoft Nokia is a waste. It was Microsoft's tendency that if it wasn't getting that much profit from some particular project, it kills it. I am always against it. Even, I am not a huge fan of Microsoft but I do use Windows on my desktop so I can say, I love it. Like it a lot and enjoying it. This is where I only like Microsoft. Microsoft is like any other company out there looking for high profit values but it's not always the case. They have acquired Nokia for some good tasks achieved by betraying and wrong directions but they are determined to prove themselves and I almost had a feeling that how WP8 is climbing, it will be proven to a worthy Android competitor in the next 2-3 years but in the mean time. If Microsoft kills WP in favor of some other project, I would be the first one to drop WP8. Only time will tell. I don't make future assumptions. Once again, I am not a Microsoft fan. I am a Nokia fan.

                                    The 1020 is available globally and of course missing an unneeded feature like the 3rd column you are talking about. It's always the case the every device is different and won't be having the very same bit to bit treatment as the other. Considering, the screen size, for the last time I would like to tell you, the 3rd live tile column will oversaturate the screen with tiles creating nuisance to read. It's better not to have a 3rd column in the 4.5 inch or lesser inch screens.

                                    Now about Windows Phone 8.1. Let me ask you something, Why did you buy Galaxy Mega when it was note released with 4.4. Or even Galaxy Note III when we know the Galaxy S5 is coming with 4.4. Why not just buy the S5 and ditch note III because it won't be having 4.4 out of the box? Its like never buy anything because something new is on its way.

                                    Be original. Consider what you wrote, you won't be able to buy a single thing because there are always updates. Please re-think what you just wrote.

                                    About my sister, on her birthday, I was thinking to give her a gift as the Mega 6.3 because of the screen size. She got a 720 which is her primary phone but she want a phablet like device which is not in my range currently and Mega 6.3 is the best option for me.

                                    And BTW! Have I ever not admitted Samsung being the current Smartphone king? Where was the last time you said it and I hadn't admitted it? It's Android and Samsung who are dominating the Smartphone industry right now with the lion's share.

                                    Now! We all have our priorities, preferences, needs, likes and we only spent money where we feel worth it. What I think is good and best for me, I will buy, what you think is good and best for you. You will buy. End of argument. Its about the likes and dislikes. Everybody got their like and dislike.

                                      Some comments of mine gets blocked or rejected and at times is allowed, the moderators are doing a good job and i can say they are no partial at all.

                                      I comment, based on what i know and understand.

                                      Microsoft Nokia is a waste of money and their focus is not the end users but just the profit they anticipate. 6 months into any production, folk support will be cut off and it will be replaced.

                                      1020 barely got into some countries and it won't get the full GDR3. 1520 just announced and some people just seen it on YouTube and we are told it will only come with the full GDR3 but un announced Gold finger and money penny are the only ones to come out of the box with WP8.1. So why not just wait for the golden penny pair instead of the "transit" 1520??

                                      And for your sister, anything Samsung is unique and solidly recommended; I had to removethe 3rd party launcher i installed earlier; Samsung offers users a complete package per gadget and a wide range of options to choose from depending on what you use your phone/gadget for.

                                      For my Xperia Z Ultra, the UI is a bit flat, unlike the Samsung, so i installed the best so far; the smart launcher!

                                      It's about flexibility, practicality, usability and functionality; It's about Android platform, and Samsung is King!

                                      Deal with it.
