Noticed anyone with a Windows Phone lately?

[Pieter Wolff]

Yes, saw a DJ at a local function here in Cape Town with a 930. Even with a broken screen he was very happy with his phone. Had a short chat and he was going to replace the screen. Didn't want to change from Windows....

I'm pretty sure that I saw someone at work yesterday (not a coworker, but a member of the public) with a 640 XL with white shell. It was matte, with that hole on the back that the 640 XL has. Second time seeing a 640 XL in RL.

sl?

Second Life. An online world where you can make an avatar and interact with others.

Haha. When I said RL, I meant outside of a tech blog or review. Rarely ever see windows phones aside from my dad's and the ones that I have.

Or the Microsoft Store. Besides the MS Store and me and my parents, I hardly ever see Windows phones. They're so rare. In the past two years that I've been using Lumias, I have only twice seen Windows phones out in the wild. Once was a European tourist. I don't know what model she had, but I instantly recognized the camera shutter sound, and then I looked and saw the live tiles. The second time was when I was in a movie theater, and we saw the woman in front of us using a Windows phone.

Did you have any kind of reaction? Any time I hear the notification sound, my mind is like ooh someone else here has a WP! :grin:

Once I heard that sound, I just had to turn and look. I recognized that distinct shutter sound, but then I was like, "Nah, it couldn't be." Turned to look, and sure enough, she was holding a Windows phone. It's still just so surprising to see someone (besides me and my parents) actually using a Windows phone in an ocean of iPhones and Androids.

I'm gonna apologize for false alarms in advance since I use a couple Windows/Lumia ringtones/alert sounds on my iPhone and Pre.

 

[Genghis7777]

Do you know anyone outside of your immediate family who owns a Windows Phone?

Yep. Two other people at church have Windows Phones, a 520 and a 1020. I saw a 930 at Christchurch Airport the other day.

 

[Genghis7777]

Personally, I think the $30 640 is my best electronic bargain ever!!:excited:

Unfortunately over here in New Zealand, our AT&T equivalent, Spark, is retailing them at NZD 349 or around USD 250 on a prepaid basis. No discount if you go onto a telco plan. Sadly, poor marketing and poor economies of scale mean that ecosystem can't compete well.

that's even more expensive than in my own country :grincry:
Here in Kenya it's going for 180USD

That was the "good neighbor" policy wasn't it?

I wanna move in next to you.

I moved my in-laws to Cricket last November and they each got a Lumia 635.Their very first smart phones. They still tell me how much they like them and how glad they are to have gotten something so darn useful. My mother-in-law is always asking "Cortina" to find things for her.

 

[Werentuckl]

Give me the address too bro. I'm moving in next to you too.

Me and RumoredNow could share some of your bounties.

Saw a girl at university with the same Lumia 640XL as mine. I wanted to talk to her but wasn't able to at the time.
I really got excited about it.

 

[Werentuckl]

Definitely strike up a conversation with that girl man. Must be a special type of girl to tote them goodies around man! Find her. Hunt her down! And talk.

I only got a glimpse of her face. I think she was cute. Also I think she was a also medical student like me. Next time I see her, I'll talk to her.
