Hmmm. The point about firmware proves that ugly is NOT just skin deep.[Solved] The only thing that truly uglies up a phone is a carrier logo and firmware.
"Apple's not ever getting a penny of my money, never in a million years..."
Careful. I got reprimanded for saying something similar about Google by a mod that didn't get the joke.Wow! What did Apple do to you? Did Steve Jobs personally come to your house and kick your dog?
The thing that kept me on these Nokia devices has been WP8.1. It just fits me best in how I want my smartphone to work. No widgets, no app drawer, swipes to get to most things, convenient ellipses menu right under your thumb for more settings... Simple tiles with all the info I need, quite minimal, the way I like it. Besides that, it has always run buttery smooth, from the L800 on...
Now W10M takes away a bunch of the aesthetics and user interface interaction that feel so right and has chosen to walk a different (in my eyes strange) path. Hamburger menu's in the hardest to reach places on the display, no swipes where you would expect them and a bunch of other things. I know it's work in progress, but it's working towards something that I don't like anymore.
All in all, I will think twice before buying a new Lumia after experiencing the issues with all my Lumia's in the past. I just don't trust their build quality anymore, whether it be design flaws, poorly sourced displays or bad quality control. And I have severe doubts about W10M as a platform. Just think about the amount of apps that haven't even caught up with UI changes from WP7 to WP8.1 and then look at how much the UI has changed in W10M... it's going to be as inconsistent as Android.
For me I dont see any reason to say that phones were design by nokia...its a nonsense and trying to excuse somehow, someway, responsabilities from microsoft...you know what else was design by nokia? Mclaren - canceled, smartwatch - canceled, why? Because they took a gap year on devices to rethink strategies and make a come back with future knowledge from Nokia and MSFT together with optimized devices and a proper flagship phone , leaks come out and people start with the "Nokia designs"?! I mean I don't want to sound mad but it's not funny anymore...samsung hired the apple design guy and 6 months later the design comes completely changed and MSFT skips a flagship lunch to put their stuff together and when it launched people come with Nokia excuses? xD besides, the Porsche comparison it's completely true and it's note since yesterday so MSFT should know this by now and focus on the design of the phone...people eat with eyes first...then comes the flavour...if the dish doesn't look nice they don't taste it, unless everyone around says its marvelous but hey, everyone around brags apple or android so this should've been a lesson learned...
I'm gonna buy the s6 edge plus since not only my eyes love but so the taste is out of this world...dont like google but oh well, no such thing as perfect device...ill see in the next year...
I've got a 1020 and celebrated two years with it on the day Win10 was released...Coincidence?
Just want a 1040 with same or better camera (not going to switch to a 21MP, sorry MS), faster processor, 2-4GB RAM, 64/128GB storage, SD card slot, 5.5" or higher screen (would *love* a 6" screen a la 1520), USB C/HDMI out for Continuum support. If MS (and by extension, ATT) want me to part with my money for a new phone, they better get busy; cuz at the current pace, the above list may not be implemented until March/April 2016 after MWC (if at all...sigh...).
None of them apply to 3 of 4 family members. I pointed that out before. Its really strange that the OP added a bunch of irrelevant qualifiers on the options. Not to mention, you should have a "none of the above" option in surveys for several reasons, this being one.Why does this poll have 92x or 930/icon in two of the options? None of those options apply to me. I have a 1020 and plan to buy a talkman or cityman. When you create a poll you really should make sure there is an option for everyone.
I've got a 1020 also but would be happy to go to a 20 MP camera. Lots of phones take great pictures without 41 MP, and besides, the camera on my 1020 is very slow to load and I can't help but think the hardware is partially to blame.
