Support NeoGAF

I'd probably switch to iOS too.

I can't stomach android at all, so ugly.

 

[PG2G]

It won't take too much effort on Microsoft's part to keep me in WP. Given the little that has leaked about apollo, im already in hehe.

i admit there is alot of ugly but the default ICS skin is pretty good. plus there are some user made skins which look pretty damn good.

I'm of this mindset as well. ICS did a lot to help Android step their game up in the looks department. Though some of the handset maker skins fubar that all up.

PS: Call me a hater, but I doubt iOS6 really changes anything up. It might add more features, but that'll be that.

 

[Frost_Ace]

yeah ICS kind of made things better but then I look at the icons and they still look like they are out of an early '00s phone :/

 

[Steelyuhas]

All gold.

So is there anything Apple can do on Monday to make any of WP actually make the switch to the next iPhone? What would they have to switch up in iOS to really get your blood flowing and want to make the move?!?!

getting rid of the ugly grid of static icons would be a start.

Live tiles, FB/Twitter integration. They need to liven up that OS, its sleep-inducing. I almost always put down my ipad out of sheer boredom. Most times, I don't know what I want to do with a device when I pick it up, I just want to mess around for a bit, and iOS isn't built for that, just an ancient looking grid of icons.

Nokia to produce a “unique” Windows Phone for every US carrier

This is becoming a game for me, like Nokia Roulette, at the end of the year. May the best carrier win. Looking forward to seeing what they do.

i doubt they're gonna do anything game changing. i mean it would be great if they did, it would make everyone else

Spoiler

we all know android is just gonna copy whatever they can, might as well rebrand them selfs as droidkos

MS work harder.

Nvm, got it working.

What?

 

[Chittagong]

What?

Like how they copied the pull down notifications from Apple, duh

 

[krae_man]

I just bought a Lumia 710. Man this phone is awesome. All I need now is for Spryfox to make a Windows Mobile version of Triple Town and I'd be in heaven.

ESPN, Nokia Music.. basically everything on the Nokia store.

Well, your avatar is nightmare fuel to people who suffer from Cibophobia. You could be the single reason WP isn't as popular as it could be.

 

[Frost_Ace]

So I think the battery of my lumia 800 went nuts again (I did an hard reset 5 days ago and it was fine).

What should I do GAF? Should I get it replaced?

 

[Milchjon]

I second this notion.

I'm okay with that.

Its funny people keep posting this comparison pic and Apple are not even going after Samsung for the similar look. Their claim against S Voice has nothing to do with aesthetics. Also I don't recall any lawsuit by Google against Apples blatant copy of its notification system.

Fuck Apple.

Says the manufacturer that doesn't have a multi core chip small and efficient enough to run in phones.

 

[Complex Shadow]

I'm okay with that.

you can't have that avatar. it has cookies and cookies are sweet. your not sweet.
therefore you should use.

I just pretend your post never happened.


T-Mobile is finally offering the Lumia 710 on pre-paid! $249 is kind of expensive, though.

i thought it was already on pre-paid

 

[Complex Shadow]

same. wasn't it 3.50 off contract. and 50 on contract?

It was, but not at Best Buy for $50 more than T-Mobile wants!

$250 is a great price for this phone. It stacks up pretty well against the $500-600+ phones all things considered. The only real issue is only 8gb of memory and no MicroSD slot.

The phone is great bang for buck.

Am I crazy in wanting to renew a contract to get a HTC Trophy just to get some WP7 love on Verizon?

I know it's not as easy on CDMA, but I'd go Ebay rather than using up an upgrade.

 

[Commodore]

Yeah, if you can't wait, ebay/craigslist. Rumors abound Verizon is due some Windows Phone 8 phone/s at the end of the year. Hang tight!

Funny thing is that the smoothest implementation of android I've seen is on an atom netbook.
