AnonD-161121, 23 May 2014Had a Lumia 620 as i thought i would give WP a chance...big... moreOne has to be nuts to compare lumia 620(cost ₹12000) to note 3 (cost ₹45000).
still if the comparison has been done then i would like to tell you that i also have note 3 AND lumia 620. After reading reviews from lagdroid fans i brought note 3 first and lumia 620 as a secondary device. After 15 days of usage i switched and made lumia as my primary device.

plz read the review of @tomakali. I also have 71 apps installed on my lumia 620. And it still works as smooth as a baby's as s.

when buying a windows phone i would suggest you to look for more internal storage as the phone never hangs, even after constant installation and un-installation of apps. So you would after sometime feel the need for more storage space.

as far as temple run is concerned then i have both temple run and need for speed on my phone.

        AnonD-188708, 23 May 2014i lold far too hard at this. how is android a strange thing?? I see android strange, mostly because of the amount of customizing freedom. iOS and WP are really closed off, with little personal freedom. It's the only major mobile OS like that.

          Microsoft is doing well

                  I had iphone 4, Note 2 now i own Lumia 1520
                  its stunning. i have 210 apps in total and solves 100% of my requirements. WP8.1 is going to be a very huge upgrade for me.
                  22GB of files in my OneDrive
                  a more than enough 3G connection viber, whatsapp, skype keeps me online always
                  my smartphone life is great, i clearly have no clue of what im missing. never had to bother about battery backup, lagging, storage space, dualcore or octacore stuff. its just smooth.
                  still i have few wishes to add
                  1.a stylus
                  2.fastcharge 0-100% in less than 15mins
                  3.dual desktop option [phone mode, windows metro start mode]
                  4.bing translator and cortana on my glasses
                  5.wireless miracast like
                  6.replace skype with microsoft lync 100% free version ;)
                  7.split screen like windows 8
                  8.more formfactors like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H5Up61n-Sg

I compared the 620 to the Note because i have experienced them both and at the end Android is better than WP..irrelevant of the hardware.

It's way more stable than Android. Install apps over air has been possible for long time now. Notification center is in WP8.1. Note 3 will run good for couple weeks then it will get slow and tons of bugs show up then you'll need factory reset. It's a deadly cycle :)

                          Those who haven't used Windows Phones, please stop posting right here once even I used to do it but after using Windows Phone my mind changed completely now I only have to buy Windows Phone no Matter what happens.

                          LagDroid fans stop posting right here you need to do something important than this and that is go factory reset your phone cus you're having a billion bugs on your phone right now and a trillion bugs on your Playstore

                            Had a Lumia 620 as i thought i would give WP a chance...big mistake! Constant freezing, no notification bar, no instillation of apps over the air and the list continues. Hell i could not even get Temple Run due to 512mb RAM(they have fixed this issue i believe). So i got myself a Galaxy Note 3 and just recently updated to KitKat over the air mind you. no Cables no PC, no Bull****. The Note craps all over any Windows Phone.

                              "Windows 8.1 has yet to gain traction"

                              Well, you wouldn't expect it to gain traction until it breaks out of developers' preview mode. For example: My wife won't install it until then.

                              "Happy to wait until the bugs are ironed out." Grain of wisdom in that since you would expect a developers' preview release to be buggy.
