Quote: Windows Phone is Superior; Why Hasn?t it Taken Off?

No one really uses Bluetooth file share anymore, even the iPhone lacks this feature. Go request it on the uservoice site. I also have no problems playing back my SkyDrive videos,unless they're in HD which SkyDrive doesn't yet support for some reason

Bluetooth file share no one uses? Really, So how is it done now days?
My sister inlaw has a Samsung SGH-A897. She was visiting and no computers around. Wanted to share some nephew pics but couldnt.

The other thing about Skydrive the file I was trying to play was recorded from the Phone itself and it didn't play. I guess the phone automatically makes HD videos even though they not in wide screen format.

missed the point where I said that not even the iPhone has this feature, she could've sent you the pic via email or mms. You can set the default video recording format, I have mine set to 640x480 and have no problems whatsoever playing them back.

She may not have internet data on her phone. I know when I had a dumbphone I didn't have data so that was way for transferring videos, pics, music, etc...

most providers except for the most money hungry ones count pic messaging as just messaging so it doesn't count against anything else.

But that's only if you get data plans. You need data to access mms.

Back on topic folks... it really doesn't matter if it's Google or Android as long as we know what we're talking about.

not necessarily

 

[koolkid09]

not necessarily

How else will mms download?

 

[Justin.TV312]

How else will mms download?

they don't consider it data use if it's just for mms downloads.

 

[koolkid09]

Yes they do. They will charge you per MB.

 

[mkr10001]

Yes they do. They will charge you per MB.

I don't think you can speak for all carriers.....charging for receiving mms? Not standard practice

 

[Justin.TV312]

that's if you don't have a messaging plan. Who's actually worked for a carrier?

Verizon does it, T-mobile does it, AT&T does it, and Sprint does it. Seems like standard practice to me.

That is sms. You need data for mms. If you don't have an mms package added on to your plan you will get charged per mb. How much you get charged depends on the carrier. Most people just have mms blocked if they don't have mms, so they won't get charged.

Read this. cant send mms with out data servics - Android Help

but you DO NOT need a data plan to send mms, its all messaging now. What part of that can't you understand?

Outstanding hardware or outstanding chassis in the lumia?

Not sure if serious. The hardware in the phones is terrible and mid range at best. That's why. Also, apps are terrible quality and many are missing.

There us still a huge feature disparity as well. I think people are bored and are desperate for a third player. Wp7 isn't there yet. The only thing may people say is superior us the UI. Other than that it's nothing to write hone about, assuming you adore the UI.

Okay just did some research. You were right. Things changed a lot in 2 years.

On messaging phones the text messaging pack comes with sms and mms for 10 or 20 dollars on carriers.

But on smartphones you need data to have mms.

I remember when I had to pay for sms and mms separately a couple years ago.

So I apologize.

MMS is charged per message like SMS, NOT like a data plan. What are you talking about.

It's usually something like $0.30 per MMS or so, and $0.10 per SMS.
