Hello everybody!
Hopefully this is in the correct place! I have recently been keeping an eye on Windows Phone devices and have to admit I have been tempted to invest in one - the Lumia 930 and the 925 have caught my eye, however I have a few concerns.
I did briefly own a Lumia 720 last year however due to issues with duplicating tracks in music and freezing to the point where I couldn't turn it off or on again I decided to return it, but I am reasonably familiar with W8/WP8 as a platform.
My main questions are however firstly with the camera - now I know Nokia's have very good camera's built in and this is part of their main sales campaign, however I was wondering if the panoramic functionality had been improved at all? My Lumia 720 wasn't terrible at doing this, but the iP5S does do it better but I wondered if this had improved recently? Particularly with the upcoming release of 8.1? I'm not a huge photography kind of guy, but I do like to have a decent camera for the occasions when I am out and about.
Also, I was hoping to begin moving my music collection 'to the cloud', and as I have over 1TB of OneDrive space (courtesy of Office 365
) I have plenty of space to store. I was actually wondering, If I were to upload my music library to OneDrive, could the phone stream the music from there? I have read various reports that this could be an upcoming feature but I haven't found anything concrete.
Finally, battery life is a big thing for me which was why I purchased the 720 in the first place. I was wondering what people's experiences of this with various devices were and what people recommend?
Hope I haven't blabbed too much - and thanks in advance
