Managed to convince a friend to buy WP ;)

[dragonide]

A friend of mine just ordered an LG Optimus 7 (E900) ...

She wanted to buy an Android phone but I showed her that Optimus 7 had better hardware and price of every Android device (no lie).

She got it for 189 Eur, and now she is super happy about it.

I will post her 'feedback' soon

So it's both a "she" and a "him"? That's odd.

I wouldn't agree with it being a better piece of hardware than every Android device, but it's nice to have the WP OS at least.

Sorry, I fixed it

Btw pheraps you misunderstood me : I MEANT better price/hardware ratio ... not better hardware

I could not find a better Android phone for 189 Eur ... do you understand now ?

LG Optimus 7 = 3.7'' screen + 16 gigabyte + 512 mbyte ram + 1Ghz proc + 5 Megapixel

No only that, but what will probably be a better overall experience than an android phone she would get at the same price. Lower end android phones are piles of S.

That's for sure, but I wanted to be as much objective and open minded as possible.

I even gave her the links to a couple of Android products, the best ones I could find in the 190-200 Eur price range, but she chose the Optimus 7 for the reason I already said.

Sweet. And hopefully she'll enjoy it so much that she can convince some other people to give WP a try.

I see, I see. And yeah, it's definitely going to run much better than any Android phone in that price range.

Congrats to your friend. Have you invited her to WPCentral yet?

I will try when the stars will be right

For the moment I am unlocking her device and setting up Windows Phone Device Manager
