Hi there. Just came to know that Indian TV Show Techguru specified some very important cons of WP OS while reviewing Lumia 800.
Objective: dissecting them
Find TV show at: # BIG REVIEW / Smart Phone Review -- Nokia Lumia 800--2 - YouTube
Facebook handle: Tech Guru | Facebook
First it specifies 5 pros. Now here are 5 cons. It is Hindi. I am translating it in English.
2. Lumia 800 launched for almost 30000 INR and it lacks front camera. So its considerable con of Lumia 800
4. It will require cutting existing SIM card to Micro SIM using cutter since Lumia needs Micro SIM. Ok I know in India Micro SIM is not used a lot. And I feel this cutting work and keeping the cut part is not a big deal.
But some about OS are:
1.It requires Zune for every media transfer. It lacks media transfer over bluetooth (say transferring song from my friends mobile to mine)(Indians shares a lot on bluetooth).
3.Bing search is default search engine. I mean when we hit search button on IE, it searches with Bing. It requires Google Search to be used as a separate App. As long as I know IE9 on desktop, we can configure it to use Google as default search engine. Is this not possible with WP7.5? Can we have Google as default search engine on IE9 in WP7.5? (I didnt used WP any time (didnt had any cell yet!), but love alot.)
5. People will need to take PC running Zune anywhere they go if at all they want anything to put inside there Lumia. Now this simply re-iterates 1st point. Please also tell me, is that the only way (from PC running zune) to take any photo, song, movie on WP mobile. Ok, here forget the Internet (since 4G is not in India and 3G is a lot costly) access. I am asking for device-to-device transfer.
6.Last con is completely irrelevant. It says that Nokia India should spend more on marketing Lumia 710 since it has almost same specs at cost saving of almost 11000 INR. Ok cost of Lumia 800 may be high here. But how he can comment on Nokia's spending?
It gives 3.5/5 stars, takes away one star straight off for price. Too costly in India. Ok, but not like iPhone. Galaxy S II also comes for 22000-28000INR. No exact idea.
0.5 star taken off for
- No bluetooth (this will seriously matter in India, let me tell you, if it is like point 1 above)
- Zune problem (point 1 above)
- No front facing camera (considerable)
Now please tell me that if that Zune and Bluetooth thing is true. And also if Google can be configured as default search engine in IE9.
You may comment on Facebook handle of the show if they are wrong anywhere.
