CarCrazyASTL Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 & so I'll be finally selling my 4S...! There is nothing groundbreaking, for wich you should sell the 4s! If you want to change your phone, try galaxy s3, xperia ion,One X or BB tourch 2 or wait for Lumia 900/920! or if you are an apple fan wait for next launch!

BonFre Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 There is nothing groundbreaking, for wich you should sell the 4s! Im not really an Apple fan & that's why Im selling my iPad 3 3G too. 4S will give me good return now. Not keen on other devices, have been using Lenevo Ideapad K1 3G, did not find Android amusing.

CarCrazyASTL Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Wait for Windows 8! It's going to be best os for Tabs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonFre Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Have been hearing that since eternity. Windows phones proved to be a dud! MS can't create the sort of eco-system Android & IOS have managed to create. Most importantly it is incapable of creating that hype/buzz around its products, so I won't go as far as waiting for a dumb Windows Phone!Period.

CarCrazyASTL Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Have been hearing that since eternity. Windows phones proved to be a dud! MS can't create the sort of eco-system Android & IOS have managed to create. Most importantly it is incapable of creating that hype/buzz around its products! Windows was ahead of time bringing the smart phones & when they didn't sell well; MS stoped research on them & now when Androids & Iphones are hit, they are comming back with Windows 8! & always remember wheter it's a car, cellphone or a candy, it take certain ammount of time to established in market! Android & Apple has also gone through such phases, (Today MS Swift is one of the best selling cars, but when It was launched in 2004, for 2/3 years it wasn't able to cross 4-digit sells!) but mark my words, by 2014 more than 30% of smartphone's will be running on windows 8! Just look at Windows 8 preview on youtube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonFre Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Market price ~50k.Period. Im not upgrading as of now. Saw the 5 in flesh, did not like. Its a dis-proportional device, too long & narrow at the width. @CarCrazyASTL, Im not a fortune teller but according to the present day market dynamics, Win. phones don't stand a chance. Lets see what's in store for future! Im not optimistic on Win. phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librankur Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Windows Phone were a no match a while ago but they sure are making up for lost time. Just heard about : Microsoft's Surface RT, the company's surprise entrance into the tablet world, will start at $499 when it ships on Oct. 26. Pre-ordering starts today at Surface.com.

goenkakushal Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yea .. its good but it misses wow factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_nishu Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 One of my close friend is having it. Outlook is good with slim & dull metallic finish, but personally i like iPhone 4/4S more. Except Maps, I'd rate it functionally better than all iPhones till now.

rameshbabu.n Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 First, let me make one thing clear. I am not exactly an Apple fan. Neither am I a Microsoft fan. Being a simple and down-to-earth guy, I see little use in the so-called earth-shattering and wow-factor features these smart phones, of late, are offering. More often than not, the products are either ill-suited or half-baked or not backward-compatible. The so-called ecosystem that these products force a user to get adjusted to, is highly proprietary and non-compatible with those existing now. Even the latest IPhone is not perfect, if one is looking for perfection in a device. Just look at the Maps fiasco or the thin and small lightening connector or the little-use 4G LTE or .... Apple has got the company of MS, Google etc., also in this mad rush to bring in such little-or-no-use upgrades or products at a very high price points and with steep learning curves. Somehow, I feel people are getting onto this bandwagon and wasting their money, time and energy on such half-baked, ill-suited and non-compatible products. What we need is not the leading-edge products but better suited products for daily use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
