Hi there, I am always angry of people who say Android is best and iOS just rocks and says WP oh!! what is it?
I always feel to answer them boldly and defend my best OS WP when they say so on different forums or on fb. WP's style, design and phylosohphy is all well thought and I wanted to prove them exactly that. I prepared list of those things and links.
You may call me Windows Phone ****** or anything else, but just want the best platform to rule. If you also doubt whether WP is that great, then just read on to know how it is greatest. If you already with my opinion, please add up to the list if I missed anything.
Before that, let me highlight the only limitations that I perceive in WP:
1. WP still lacks App in comparison to Android and iOS, at least in numbers(, but has got almost all most important apps)
2. WP has not got the Bluetooth file transfer functionality - the most basic thing that any feature phones have - AND THE ONLY THING I FEEL SERIOUSLY ANOYING
3. No NFC (the use of NFC is not that prevalent and MS prmissed for its support to the future version),
4. Dual core processors (but still WP beats Dual core Androids and iOS in Smokin by WP competition and is buttery smooth)
Please add up to here also, if I missed anything.
Now here is the +ve list (some links especially top rating on various carriers are outdated since they do not show WP device top rated, but still you can find WP devices in top 5, so I did not deleted them):
=============
Summary
=============
1. Windows phone is the best operating system. (It won 5 main awads including Best OS of year 2011, see below)
2. All Windows phone 7.0 devices are updated to Windows Phone 7.5 aka Mango very smoothly, without any glitch. Not just that but people are also receiving the other small udates on routine basis. This compared to Android, we may conclude that Android updates are too slow or may be impossible. (See the links below). Also only 1% of Android phones runs ICS (last link below).
3. Number of WP 7.5 apps are increasing radically, at rate greater than Android, many Indian apps available (CNBC,)already crossed 50000 mark.
4. Lumia 800 gets great user reviews on CNET (see link) - So device manufactured is also good.
