I know I'm derailing, but ooh do you remember where you found the wooden back or case at? It sounds interesting.I actually found a wooden replacement case for my 640. Well, Bamboo actually. Looked cool, but not what I was looking for. I really like the customizable cases for the Lumia 950 and 950XL, though. Have you seen those Mozo cases? Metal trim with leather backs? Really cool. That's what I want, but I want a hole where it shows the Microsoft Logo so it doesn't cover up the logo.
Well I basically just listed most things that I do with the phone. I'm not sure what's so confusing about that lengthy list. maybe it's too long for you? Let me simplify itAll that didn't even touch the question I asked. I felt like either you missed my question or felt this was the time to deliver a complete soliloquy from every android article ever published by google. Maybe its simply the fact its has a big app store and that in itself replaces intelligence and common sense. A lot of people talk like that and if this isn't necessarily you, my bad. but all I was asking you was what do YOU do with a smart phone? I could give a dog gone about it's spec or that snap chat is available. Just asking what to YOU do with your phone. Its a tough question I know but I have two advanced degrees and 3 certifications so humor me. I'll get it however you choose to explain it.
1. I use the super fast browser.
9. I use WP Launcher to make my phone looks like a WP when I feel like live tiles
-performance of Android phones on Qualcomm S4xx, S6xx chipset are sluggish
-file management is chaos, wtf is emulator/sd/ ..... sdcard/external/sd ..........
-use an Android phone is like living in a party room after the party, simply messy
by the way, W10 PC continue to disappoint, my PC crashs more often than ever, do not know who to blame, MS or AMD ( A10-6790K with 8GB M )
Let's all put our unconditional love for windows aside and seriously ponder the clear advantages of using Windows Phone (mobile) over Android. For me the list goes like this:
1. A unique UI.
2. Better performance on low end devices. (520 anyone?)
3. A seamless OneDrive integration.
4. Microsoft apps. (OneNote, Health, Sports, Weather, etc.) Some of these apps are available for Android too, but like them better on Windows.
5. Continuum. Though it's potential is still untested.
6. Universal app system that makes Continuum possible.
7. CORTANA. Again they're making an Android version too, but its integration with the OS will always be better in Windows.
8. All that Windows 10 promises. Android and iOS app portability, actionable notifications, Skype integration and much more.
If I missed anything (which I'm sure I did) feel free to post them.
You are the exact kind of person I want to hear from. MIcrosoft implies it will be trivial to port an app from iOS and almost as easy from Android. They made a big deal how Candy Crush source code was literally unchanged. So I want to hear what real developers who have done it say about how easy it is for THEIR apps..Well, while I like the IDEA and the UI of Windows Phone... when it comes down to it, any time I start using an App I downloaded from Android that I like, I see if it's available on WP. Nope. Never is.
Part of the reason I'm learning programming is because I'll be starting a company soon with an app myself and others are brainstorming. I'm actually planning to develop on iOS first, then Android... then WP... maybe. Will have to see if that's where the money is at because that's what it comes down to... money.
Hopefully app developers will explore the possibilities, but my pragmatic side feels that they'll probably stay in their Apple/Google comfort zone, safe in the knowledge that if people want apps, they'll buy Apple or Android hardware.
