OK, so I have been extolling the virtues of WP8 and showing off my lumia 920 since release in early November to friends and family, and most of them are hardcore Iphone users so its fallen on deaf ears. BUT, I had an epiphany last week while listening to my mother and a friend complain about their Android phones and how they never have gotten used to them. I showed them my phone and basically had them tell me every issue they had with their phone and I was able to address each one to their liking on my WM8 phone. I know that most of these could have been addressed on their Razr Maxx devices but them marveling at how smoothly, quickly, and easily I was able to make these changes on my device thrilled these 60 year olds lol.
-?My clock is too small to read when I open up the phone? BAM live tile as large as you want and easy to read.
-?The icons are a little too small I do a quick look? BAM adjustable tile size for your high frequency items.
-?I really only use text, calls, and occasionally internet? BAM your most used tiles are up top above the giant clock lol
-?The calendar function is hard to use? BAM chronos calender?s large and detailed live tile? right under the giant clock
Anyway, you can see where I?m going with this, the next evening my mother had me meet her at the At&t store where she started a new plan and picked up an HTC 8x, because of the blue/purple color, and loves it. Her friend went to the At&t store last night and picked up a yellow 920, because of the color as well. I e-mailed my mother today about my wife?s birthday party and she responded (FROM HER PHONE!!!!) that she just put it in her calendar with a reminder and loved the purple Windows phone.
These phones are perfect for old people, this is an old person?s smart phone, hilarious. So if you have an older friend or relative that?s fumbling around trying to read the iphone apps or can?t set up widgets on an android show them the WP8 phone!
