People are haters when it comes to windows phones

[AV2RY]

Off topic.
Few days ago I saw one guy with 920 (I'm sure it was 920) with cracked screen, I could barely see anything on it. Anyways I asked him if it was 920. He said -No! It's 1020. )

I love my lumia 520 and in my class, all prople have an android.
I've changed mind of some of them, and now we are 21% of class witch windows phones.
It's cool. 90% are hates there androids because are slow. But they want to keep them because some apps and games are just on android and iOS.
We need more apps. I can't make a lot of clons.

...and Windows Phone owners don't hate iOS or Android ...of course not, not chance, we're rightfully righteous that's all.

We went to a Shopping Mall to check out the recent available phones that fits his budget of 15-16 INR. Sadly in most of the stores, the only WP devices were 520, 920 and 630. He wanted a balance between these phones at that price range which WP didn't offer.There were tons of Android phones in every price segment and he has finalized a few of them. We went to another store and gave him our budget, he took out XOLO and some other phones. I asked him to show WP phones and he was like "Isme zyada choice nai hai aapke budget me, aap ye lelo acha hai" which meant " There's no much choice in WP, you take this one, this is better than WP referring to XOLO". So obviously he's buying an Android device now.

I think you should be careful who is a friend. Seriously, anyone who buys ANYTHING based on what the salesman tells them is clueless and likely to spill over into other areas. Why put yourself in a position to watch the tragedy over and over? I get it if you don't find out until after they are a friend. So try to find out up front just like you would about them being racist or criminal minded, etc..

Well I've actually been sneered at when some people were talking about their phones. This woman (who has an iPhone) asks everybody at the table what kind of phone they have. One guy says he had an Android and I say "I have a Windows Phone". Her response was a dismissive sneer. The only thing missing was the little wave of the hand. The conversation was over as far as she was concerned. What do you say to that kind of arrogance? I just chuckled.

It isn't arrogance. It's a fear of finding out they made a mistake. Many people, sheeple particularly, use it as a defense mechanism. Pretend to be arrogant to end discussions that might lead to contradictory information entering their meager brain.

I went into a Verizon store to get my Icon and when I asked if they had it there the answer was no and if I was set on buying it. The attendant said 'You sure you don't want an Android or an iPhone? They're much better phones'.

I have yet to see one way in which my Icon is inferior to both a Galaxy S5 or the most recent iPhone. Of course there are less apps, but if it has a navigation app, can make a phone call, text and listen to music, I'm happy as can be.

I've always wondered, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

I am 61 years and 10 months along!

I could just as easily say the same things about how Windows Phone users talk about other platforms. Take a look at yourselves in the mirror.

Their is a big difference in being biased towards Windows Phone OS. It has nothing to do with Sales people pushing Android and iOS. Most Don't even know how to use the Interface or heaven forbid you may have a technical question about it. The same response. "wouldn't you rather get an Android phone, they are so much better then those Windows phones" and because they most likely are using Android or iOS.
