Hi guys, new member here, I've been reading wpcentral for like 3 months now tho...
anyways, I switched from ios to wp (about 8 months ago) because I like nokia hardware, and I was sick of everyone having the same mobile, I wasn't too keen on wp8, but I did it anyways, I bought a L920 amazing photos, great screen, durability, etc. I found wp8 to be quite mediocre mainly because of the stupid way in which it calculates battery life, for example it will "drain" 12% overnight but if I turn it off and on again, it will bee back at 98% or even 100% (more on this later).
After a month I was fully adapted to my 920 I mainly use whatsapp twitter, mail (update every 15 minutes? wtf?) and bloomberg so after the update of whatsapp everything was alright.
I'm currently in the UK and my carrier wasn't unlocking my 920 so as a nokia user I bought a cheap 520 here (which has worked like a charm for the money) I also have my old iphone 4 which I hadn't used ever since I bought the 920... until yesterday! note that this is an old jailbroken iphone4 running ios 5, it puts wp8 to shame, here a short list of facts where ios is better than wp8:
after closing whatsapp even with full signal there's this message "connectivity error, reboot you phone"
sometimes, there's no way to open apps, you can click on them but nothing will happen until you reboot
when selecting text instead of moving the cursor it just copies the text!
there's no way to see the battery % other than installing a stupid app
the email can only sync every 15 minutes unless you are using a ms account
notification centre
mediocre UI within apps (I know this are the devs and not MS but still)
folders
and I can go on, but I just woke up and can't remember all, anyways the biggest annoyance of them all:
I haven't used my 920 much so I turned it off with about 25% battery, after 6 days I turned it back on, and was at 80%! WTF?! does my lumia 920 can actually break the laws of thermodynamics and create energy out of nothing?!!! of course it can't it's just the stupid OS that can not do such a basic task like calculating the bloody battery, hence the number it displays is probably inaccurate most of the the time!
anyways, I used my iphone 4 which I don't like at all, and realised that wp really is rubbish, and with the hardware division now under ms control, there is no way I'm buying a wp8 ever again, nokia did things right ms hasn't in many time, I'm no ****** that's why I ditched the lame iphone and ios, and that's why there's no way I'm sticking to such a mediocre OS, I guess I'll try google's next time...
cheers!
