Hi all
I think despite the pros that win phone 8.1 has, one should pay attention to the following issues:
1- It's only in the beginning of the way, and win phone 8.1 is still a young OS which can NOT satisfy the user needs.
2- Many key applications, are 1-2 years aback of those from Android and IOS
3- The price is expensive relative to the possibilities that the windows phone provides

    AnonD-291805, 05 Nov 2014Keep in waiting u can go for Sony Z4 or Samsung S6Sorry brother, but I'm in none any interest of buying another Android device. Nope not Sony and I'd rather kill myself than to pay precious cash for a Samsung device. Not to mention, the overhype market that Samsung dominates. My friend, let me tell you this; we now live in a world whereby the best things are sometimes not heard of, underrated, and covers a small area in the market; and the worst devices are, in fact, all the time overhyped.


    Please do not be bought by the market hype.

          Anonymous, 26 Oct 2014There may be many applications, but lack of features are ob... moreI totaly agree with you about
          all of the shotcomings of windows phone that you mentioned. However, windows phone has:

          1) Superb Keyboard layout and shape (iPhone's is not bad but not quite perfect like window' one)
          2) Superb Text Auto correction (iPhone has the same superb auto correction)
          3) Superb smooth and lag free scrolling (iPhone is not bad. It's lag free but not as smooth)

          ANDROID IS PLAIN HORRIBLE when it comes
          to scrolling and Keyboard, which makes browsing multiple website slower and typing text messages slower! You will not see that Android has a problem until you try a windows phone!

            ~MY THOUGHTS WINDOWS PHONE 8.1~
            Having using using Microsoft ecosystem since last May on my secondary NL720 device. Although it has some cons. but overall configuration of OS is really sleek and stylish. It will take a while for familiar.
            No doubt Microsoft done a superb job to established its mobile OS to give customers another option in very competitive smartphone market where Android is the king.The good which i like is u can control your background running apps, in result of this OS battery last a long, although live tiles are also a unique idea to stay updated but tiles updates info only for some period of the day.
            MAIN CONS:-
            1. SETTINGS: 1st major cons. of this OS is its settings menu which is really confusing it should be determined in a different category wise tabs or groups for easy and user friendly access. But Microsoft throw all controling components of OS and settings here and there. Suppose if you are looking for hard reset option or mobile data option or even you want to copy your contacts from sim to phone then it will definitely make you annoy to find all this in emergency.
            2. CONTACTS: If you store two different numbers with same name in your contact list and u want to make call one of them well no you press one name and it will automatically make call without showing number which is obviously irritating. Even if you want to copy your contacts from sim to phone then its really hard to find where the hell this option us exist specialy if u r new user even it took 2 to 3 days for me to find out this which is located in people hub option. Finally whenever u want to store or create any new contact it didn't display the storage location like sim, email or phone.
            3. ACTON CENTRE TOGGLES: In action centre there is only 6 toggles u can add it should have more option for new toggles to add specialy heavily used mobile data option which didn't exist in action centre.
            Above all cons are only my thoughts and observation and they are the minor issues which will definatly solve in near future updates.

            APPS GAP:-
            Most of commonly used apps are there in store but majority of those apps are still in beta phase and functionality wise they are 2 years behind specialy social apps (like FB, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram,Viber etc) then Google and Apple apps library.

            THE MOST concerning thing is that windows phone didn't have any Google & Apple apps in its store . Which is really sad and main problem for its downfall.Majority of the customers in globe are using google apps to meet their daily demands specialy google maps for navigation and entertaining youtube app . Although Here maps are good option but this application have some issues in some regions like in my country Pakistan . Microsoft should sort out what matter they have had with Google on urgent basis to brings there apps in WP store. If it happens then it will be a huge bonus for this OS . Even Google and Apple have each other apps in their respective stores including Microsoft apps as well, then why windows phone dont have all this stuff in its store . Microsoft become so lazy to sort out these issues with other vendors otherwise they will lose the battle and majority of their customers will shift to other OS.Even i am also shifted to Andriod although i like windowsphone so much and functionality and smoothness wise i rated it above on andriod and iOS.

            These are the genuine issues which i found during my experience and then describe here to share with all of you . Microsoft has to address all these matters on war footing basis to stay alive in competition.
            Thanks and Waiting For Your Thought's ..

                  Nokia should go on making more phones like this! The camera is really phenomenal. One of a kind and pioneered none other than Nokia. This smartphone camera is really second to none. I'm waiting for Nokia's latest flagship next year.. PLEASE NOKIA, BRING IT!!!!!

                    N1520 is a great phone but recently i had a major problem regarding camera. The Snapshots turned out blur and it could not focus out anything. I am confused. I gave my phone to Factory for a check. I have a question wheteher this problem is related to software or hardware. Hope the engineers resolve this problem. Is anyone facing the same problem. Awaiting Reply...

                                      I have had this phone for over 10 months now and will be sending in for 3rd warranty replacement. It resets on its own, locks up and forces me to do hard rests, Cortana and the camera turn on, on their own. The music player fails regularly. These problems have persisted on all 3 I have had so far. Bad phone back to Android.
