    And the reasons you mentioned are showing personal choice.. So if you personally like this phone then its a different thing. What I said was in general, it was for everyone who are looking for a good phone with as many features as they can get!

    Thanks! I understand and agree with you :)

      Maaef, 05 Mar 2013Thanks for you reply! Yes it might be a good phone if o... morenow let throw some light on specification....

      Samsung Galaxy S advance processor(Cortex A9) is old and it is 40nm(according to my knowledge), which consume more power than Lumia 620 ARM 7 processor which is 28 nm.
      In GPU...i think Adreno 305 is more powerful than mali 400(it is less powerful GPU compared to S 2 GPU)

      Battery 1500mAH(S advance) Vs, 1300mAH (Lumia 620)
      I think in this both phone doesn't have a decent battery.

      But Samsung Galaxy S Advance have more RAM 768 vs 512 mb ram of Lumia 620 amd you know about screen. I think overall Galaxy S advance is very good phone and a good competitor of Lumia 620.

      other than this
      It is more about choosing Window phone 8 vs Android.....

        Maaef, 05 Mar 2013Thanks for you reply! Yes it might be a good phone if o... moreFrankly speaking, well I am bored. I am bored from seeing android every where. I am bored from samsungs cheap plastic, I am bored from custom launchers, I am bored from flashing my device every now and then with a custom rom, I am bored from malware fear and living in constant fear that my data is unsafe, I want something new, something fresh, something different, something that not many people have, something that will stand out, turn heads, get noticed, something that is not fully developed yet so that I can feel that I have contributed to it development. Android is old now, so is S advance. Agree it does many more features than 620. But I have a strong feeling for Nokia 620. It is my love at first sight.

        And here is my technical take on WP. Please keep in mind this is my personal experience and not influenced with what others say: -

        1) WP8 is more stable: - After the portico update WP8 has improved a lot. My gf is using a 920 and my other friends using S3's and notes. I have seen many app crashes on the androids which sometimes requiring a complete reboot as opposed to none of WP.

        2) WP is more simple: - The interface of WP is simple and straight forward which some people find boring, but for me proper. You don't have multiple homescreens to constantly flip through, just one homescreen that can scroll up and down. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace and Nokia 5233 and I have flashed n number of custom roms and fws on them, now I am bored. I wanted something simple and straight forward. Thats why I am choosing WP.

        3) Tiles are better than widgets: - While widgets are more functional and display way more information than tiles, but I still prefer opening up the app and doing my stuff, expect for music player. Tiles act both as a short cut and as notifications centre and they are all right there on my homescreen.

        4) UI is uniform throughout: - Each and every app you install on WP will carry the UI elements of WP into itself, except the games, but thats logical. So you don't have to fiddle where to find stuff. If you know where to find it in WP, you will know where to find it in the app you just installed.

        5) You shall not touch the core: - MS doesn't let others modify the core layout of WP, which for others might be a limitation but I find it better since it provides the UI uniformity as I stated above, plus there are no heavy customizations that unnecessarily eat precious ram and on board storage.

        6) Security: - Since WP is closed source, I feel its more secure than Android who was in between cursed with malware and viruses.

        7) Seamless integration with Skydrive and Ability to edit Office documents: - My office is heavily dependent on MS office and being a back office for US clients we get mails with documents anytime even if we are not in the office. So if I receive such mail that needs some minor changes to be done, I just open that mail on my phone, edit it, save it and re attach it and send it again. Now you will say that android also does it. But there is a perk here, the moment I save it, the file gets synced to my skydrive account which I have shared with my boss, before I resend the edit mail, he gets a notification that a new document has been added, he opens it, reviews it, give me a confirmation and then I send it, it happens without me doing any extra step. I just saved the document. Simillarly your photos, contacts, calenders also get synced to the skydrive account, no more taking periodic backups.

        Extremely light: - WP8 is extremely light on resources like ram, cpu, gpu and battery. A 1300 mAh battery can last a whole day for a mobile like 620. WP8 smoothness can be felt even in the lowest spec mobile phones

              Yes it might be a good phone if one just needs some extra features with the PHONE.

              BUT if I compare it with an Android Phone with the same price i.e. Galaxy S Advance. I will get all the things which I mentioned even more like that phone has Super AMOLED screen and Gorilla glass.

              So if one can get lots of in-fact more then he can ask for features with a PHONE then why should one would buy this? my question is what this phone has that Galaxy Advance does not? except its a Windows phone which is still not as good and established as Android.

Like Call SuperNexus, text SuperNexus, play music, or short messages like, stop pissing me off or release 620 already or be there in 5 mins. Thats why I think it has a very short dictation time. I am also hoping that MS will update it soon. But this app will the one to look out for.
