I owned iphone 4s for 2 years now, i reckon to change my gadget and i really consider lumia 1020...
but i read in a lot article that WP is lack in apps and cool games, and often got hang for no reason, i wonder if that's true? can someone give me a full explaination please...
the pros n con with WP if compared to IOS...
and i also wanna ask, can WP 8 devices get updates to WP 8.1 a.k.a windows blue?
cause when i read the article on WP 7 devices, it cannot upgrade the OS to WP8...
thank's before for your answers...
n please help me, i'm really confused now, wether to upgrade to latest apple devices or switching to WP8...
Okay, here's the best I can do for you.
I've been running with an HTC 8x since November. I'll break it down, with iOS being the middle ground between pro and con, then cover the "cons":
Pro:
- live tiles: there's nothing like it, really. you get the latest from most of every app and makes your home screen feel alive
- people hub/social integration: you have no idea how awesome this is until you set it up. i don't even go into my social media apps anymore
- game achievements: it's cool to have that integration with my xbl account
- surprisingly, xbox music: i can create playlists basically anywhere. at home, on my tablet, on my phone and they all carry over...great syncing.
- Skydrive. All my music, videos, pictures, office files, books are stored on there. i can access literally everything. it's just...awesome. never had a problem with it.
Cons:
- App library: iOS has this in the bag. WP8 has over 160k apps and it's growing a lot faster now, but there are still some apps missing...most of which have a legit 3rd party app
- for you, probably the lack of a notification center. i haven't had use of one for a while, but I'd imagine that it's nice to have.
- being the 3rd place OS. It's a tough love place. Android and iOS get most of all the love and hype. They also get things faster most of the time.
As for your question about 8>8.1, afaik all windows phone 8 devices will upgrade to blue. WP7 is a different kernel, so it kinda sucked for them. Each phone is getting 36 months of support/updates. rumor has it, more unification with blue...possible store unification.
I'll tell you, Nokia may just be the best smartphone company. Here's why. They fight for you to have the best experience possible. They secure platform exclusive apps and games as well as developing some of the best apps on the market. Nokia drive is nothing short of awesome. Their build quality is practically second to none. They're pushing the bar higher in innovation.
Go for it. You won't regret it. Just give it a week and stick close to this community for help and support. Also, if you do, get the Weave News Reader...imho the best on the market. Free version is great.
Oh, also, i don't know what you mean by "hang for no reason" but the game situation is pretty decent now and I haven't had an issue with any of the games that I bought.
