Over in the UK the only WP ads we get are for cortana, nothing about the actual phones. See, I know the flagship phones for Apple, HTC, Samsung etc, but I have no idea what the current WP flagship is, they don't bother to tell anyone, I have to go digging around online to find out. So this...

Purely for browsing and Excel. Nothing else, no video playback, no photo editing, nothing like that, I just want it to respond quickly and not stall or get held up

I've got a 4yr old Dell laptop knocking around, 2.2GHz celeron & 3GB 800mhz Ram. Its struggling to run Windows 7 these days, but would it be quick enough for windows 10 preview? Also, would putting an SSD in it speed things up, or is the processor likely to be the bottleneck?

So if WP isn't way behind does that mean everyone here is happy with the current version? Nope? Action Launcher for Android brings the alphabetical listing of WP, but in a much more useful packaging. Personally, I've tried WP, and it's just not there yet. I really hope 10 is a massive step...

That was a dev preview though, so certain apps not functioning correctly, and having messy UI, is a given in those circumstances. The main shame with Android is the skins that manufacturers add to them. The Touchwiz skin is plain awful. I have a Nexus 5 with the action launcher, its simple and...

Boot times faster than 8.1? I get from start button to desktop in 8secs on my HP Spectre 13. My mac owning brother isn't jealous at all......

The lovely bones Hours wasted. I have a new filtering system now, if my missus' parents recommend a film, I avoid it as its likely to be garbage.

It looks good to me. I'm a touchscreen laptop user, but having metro apps open in windows is a good thing, as is the additional desktops, which is one of the best features of OSX. Also, if they can truely unify the OS and have one app store it might be enough to finally push me over to WP. I've...

What are people doing to their android phones to cause lag? The lower spec phones maybe, but then my trial 520 lagged too. I've got a Nexus 4. Tried WP as I was tempted to switch, but its just not there yet so I'm going for a Nexus 5.

See whilst trying a Nokia 520 I found I much preferred the stock keyboard on my Nexus 4 (now on 4.4.2). The touch accuracy seemed particularly poor in comparison, but then I guess it didn't help that I went from a 4.7" screen to a 4". Bringing a swiftkey option to WP8 wouldn't be a bad thing...

Don't get me wrong, I liked the OS overall. I'm bored of Android, and have had Apple in the past and don't want to go back. I'm 100% willing to make the jump, IF the 8.1 update addresses certain issues, and the app situation improves, which I'm confident it will. I'll be keeping an eye on WP...

I've recently used a WP in the form of a 520 and I can echo some of the comments, but the app situation put me off WP, for now. Yes you might have the same apps as iOS and Android, but certainly not to the same standard. The eBay app for example, looks like it was designed as a school project...

Well, I have a 6 month old son that we're constantly taking photos and videos of, but then again I have a Nikon D3100 DSLR for proper photos and memories, most of the time we just pull our phones out when he randomly does something worth capturing. I know the camera on the 925 is no slouch...

Howdy folks! Just signed up here. Firstly, background. I started off with an iPhone 4, then switched to a HTC and then Nexus 4. I've always liked the look of Windows Phone, and after enjoying a brief session with Windows 8 desktop I decided to give WP8 a try. I purchased a Nokia 520 for ?45...
