Man! It was meh at first, but then it got worse and worse, then became extremely horrible. Geez...
Is it just me or do the photos taken from the phone that she posted on the review look awful?
The bolded part. Can you explain to me how thick the Icon should be? Given the 20 MP camera, Qi Charging, 2400+ mAh battery and the quad-core processor, it seems to me the phone packs quite a bit into a fairly small package.
that's completely fine, but what about her comments about Here maps/apps being only useful if you drive and somehow Waze community with their accident/construction reporting is very useful.That the author lives in a city and doesn't need to bother wasting time in a car?
I thought you might be talking about this review :grin:
Wedding Cake | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)
The following comment by mtalinm on the article hit the nail on the head:
"...my iPhone 5s"
should have been the first line of the article.
Not a terrible review and some criticism is valid, i.e. the Icon does seem a bit thicker than it really should be and Windows Phone won't be even close to the competition until Windows 8.1 arrives, etc. But that being said the review should have pointed out that Windows hardware is near top notch and when Windows 8.1 arrives it will finally be ready for some real competition with iOS and Android.
You would think someone insulted your child.
To say WP 8 isn't even close to the current IOS and Android Kit Kat or whatever version is a bit of a stretch. This is coming from an HTC One user (former user). I've had Android for the past 6 years or so and am loving WP 8. Messed around on a used 928 for a while and I was sold. There are a lot of reasons that would compel one to switch.
Gee man, you would think someone insulted your child.
On: Don't worry about Lassie (or whatever her name is) she deserves every single comment made on her article.
Why?
Because her job is to write quality stuff, and, as you can totally notice, this is a terrible review.
You would expect someone on a TECH SITE to actually know some TECH STUFF. Even so, it's fine if she didn't know any tech stuff, but she could at least have made some research about the phone in question, even if it's just for respect to their readers.
This was an insult to people that are actually literate to the world of technology.
This was ignorant blabbery, writen by an ignorant fella.
I hope this post made you understand.
And yes, this is the kind of stuff you get from any user of any platform when you mess up about anything.
What rubbish. WP fanbois really are funny. I always get how WP is the "simplest" and "most intuitive" and "consistent" OS from the usual suspects on this site. But when it comes to any reviewer talking about WP, it's all "oh they're tech illiterate" "they don't know how to use a WP" and so on.
Newsflash, yo: This is how the average consumer thinks. A reviewer's job is not to pander to MSFT/your whims, but to assess how the common man on the street will look at things. A reviewer being a techie is actually a bad thing, IMO.
People around here need to trade in their thin skin for something a bit thicker. You would think someone insulted your child. First, it is just a phone. Second, it is not nearly as bad as any number of reviews for any number of devices. Third, the person is entitled to her opinion and if someone want to post it, that is the way it works. Finally, if you find it so offensive, why post a link to it? Congratulations, you just got the article (and site hits) which helps generate ad revenues which further encourages the articles you obviously dislike, Oh, the more hits, the higher the negatives climb up Google's search indexes.
A reviewer doesn't need to be a techie, but they should at the very lest understand what they are reviewing. She didn't have a clue. If she represents the common user, there is no purpose for most people to have a smart phone. She would be confused by a Razer.
