Anyone with the new 8s? Please post your first impressions of the device.. Are u in anyway disappointed with it?
It's out in Australia and New Zealand
Edit: I can't find evidence, probably I was wrong, they will be launched after November 20th worldwide.
Hope to be one of the first to have one!
Hello Danny
I'll be grateful if u can answer these..
1) What color did u pick?
2) How's the screen and performance?
3) How much phone storage is available out of the box?
I picked up one of these recently.
For your memory question, I think there was 1.67GB left on the 4GB out of the box.
Now, for me, that's not a problem. I installed every app that I wanted plus a couple of games and I still have just over 500GB left. For some people, especially people who love apps, that might not be enough. For me, though, I don't use my phone for much except playing music, checking emails, Facebook and the Internet in general, and (shock) making phone calls. So I suppose you'd say that I'm someone who falls into the target market for this phone. (I hate having apps when there is a perfectly viable mobile site available.)
I came from an Xperia S, which I ended up getting rid of because for all the extra specs under the hood, the build quality was terrible and the phone unreliable. I cannot really tell the difference between the Xperia S's screen (which is HD with, I believe, one of the best PPI ratios in the business). I will miss that camera, though.
Pros:
+ Beats audio. I was a sceptic; now a believer.
+ The phone is light and just the right size for me.
+ Syncs nicely with Outlook and other Microsoft services.
+ Xbox Music and Smart Glass.
+ Really nice design.
+ A budget Windows 8 phone is still a nicer experience than a high-end Android phone.
Cons
- The memory is fine for my needs, especially with an SD card, but more would obviously be welcome.
- The camera is a little bland, but obviously I'm coming from the 12MP one found in the Xperia S.
Battery life seems standard, for me. I got blue because that was the only option in New Zealand.
All my pros and cons are personal opinion, naturally.
Hope that helps!
thank you, you seem to want to use the phone in a similar way as I do. I'm now more confident I can live with the lack of storageI picked up one of these recently.
