Eldar Murtazin: upcoming aluminum-clad Nokia Catwalk is a top-notch device, hindered by WP8

I absoluetly love Nokia but feel Windows Phone 8 is not upto the scratch. I mean the hardware side of Nokia is absoluetly fantastic but Windows Phone, having been released for so long still havent got some of the prominent apps which even Blackberry has, now !

Only if they could release an android variant of Lumia 920 or something (to be on the safer side and diversification) even with the stock Android, they would have got a bit better sales (not that they dont right now)

M$ dolls out cash only on one condition ... NOKIA doesn't pee in pants to feel the warmth.... in short stay away from all Linux variants ...

Did I say WP is the best OS? No, I'm for one asking WP to be improved with as many features as that of Symbian.But you seriously lost me when you said you want Android on 920. Don't people like choices?

I hope WP just die...

I hope tizen and firefox os just die... Ubuntu touch and sailfish look more likely to succeed, and wp has potential, just wait 4 blue

WP8 was only released a few months ago, and it's a completely different operating system than Windows mobile/CE, despite what Android fans believe. However, the apps are starting to show up, finally, and there will eventually be enough to satisfy the most unforgiving critics...

What WP8 really needs is a proper file browser, better movie file support (MKV), and a media player that can play audio with a proper touch cursor. A better notification center would be nice as well, and I'm sure voice recognition and command is coming too. Nokia's hardware is just the icing on the cake ;o)

i just hate the grid and M$ anticompetitive like the fruit.

I've seen it from day to day interactions with customers in store and sales figures,the wp grid live tile ui is very unpopular. Its quite possible that Xmas this year will see windows phones reduced to 80 and 140 prices without contract to clear back logged unsold stock like the way the lumia 610 and 800 were Christmas just gone

52. UrbanPhantom posted on 04 Mar 2013, 13:20 4 1

With a name like "andro", do you really expect anybody to trust your point of view regarding the popularity and appeal of Windows Phones?

AGREE!!!!

No OpenGL in OS
No WebGL in browser

No OpenGL & No WebGL is an MS way of try to stiff the competition

That's why Samsung makes two smartphones with that OS.

The problem is that Samsung doesn’t have a chance against Nokia, so better Nokia keep WP otherwise it will cannibalize Samsung market with Android OS.

45. SamsungFan posted on 04 Mar 2013, 08:27 2 1

Nokia can catch up with samsung only if they move away from wp.else there is no way for nokia.
Nokia has great designs, good hardware , excellent camera but wp ruins them all

Are you serious...have you even tried wp8 for longer than 10mins?? I was.skeptical but it truly is awesome! I have had every os before and loved android loathed ios but now love wp8! Its awesome intergration better than apples and the slick design and hardware of the devices is to die for i mean i challenge you to find a better design than the htc 8s! Beutifully done multitasking and better voice recognition than siri and on a par with google now...please dont judge before you have a proper look at it!

75. SamsungFan posted on 07 Mar 2013, 12:30 0 0

I have an omnia w. So I've used wp
Problems of wp
Less apps
All New titles are not released
Some may release after months of waiting
No customization
Voice recognition is not good compared to Google now
No YouTube , instagram......
No support for mkv, flv....
Don't support 1080 screens
Don't support quad core
And all this are available on Android
Give me a few reasons why I should choose wp (I'm not trolling because Samsung also has wp devices)

I hope you WP8 haters get your Android phone's and tablets hacked. That would teach you for mouthing off and dissing other OS's in the world. Also, you're missing the point: Nokia's machine is a bottle of pure bliss, and it will give both HTC and Samsung a good run for their money. Amen!

+1, all them haters gonna hate anyway

26. WeHateModernUI posted on 04 Mar 2013, 04:45 6 5

Good luck nokia,
We hope you can GET RID OF ELOP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

13. MetroUI.is.confusing posted on 04 Mar 2013, 03:48 9 5

WP looks fast and fluid... that's right.... but Metro UI is only a skin deep beauty.

Inside that looking fast/fluid UI, is a BORING UI. BAD DESIGNED UI. and user were NOT FOOLED. They choose android & apple because they feel WP8 Metro UI is NOT GOOD.

Dude are you serious...the lumia 920 is one of the best specced and greatest phones in 2012-13 hence nokia are probably going to put out something even better with the catwalk so dont judge a os before it has fully grown as i beleive thats what apple did to android a few years ago...now look!

30. windroid posted on 04 Mar 2013, 04:49 6 6

MetroUI.is.confusing for dumb people.

37. Skiman posted on 04 Mar 2013, 06:53 4 4

I agree MetroUI.is.confusing if you are a bit of a slow learner and can't figure out Metro UI then its shallow.

'Even the 'classic' iOS UI is more useful than the WP8 metro UI'

Wow, have you even used iOS? You are just playing dumb I think

I guess you were the one that haven't been trying all the OS.

19. 8logic posted on 04 Mar 2013, 04:09 10 4

android's UI rules, since i can customize everything about it!!!!!!

33. Microsoft.is.a.jerk posted on 04 Mar 2013, 05:07 5 5

AGREE!!!!

From UI/UX point of view...

1. android is the best
2. iOS is the second best (it served well for old people who don't want to learn something new)

10001. Microsoft BOB UI. Only good for 3 years - 5 years old kid that never touch computer.
10002. WP. It's the worst UI/UX ever.... it's only purpose is for showing smoothness... i called the showgirl UI.

46. SamsungFan posted on 04 Mar 2013, 08:29 2 3

I Completely agree with you

Your comment is pointless...have you ever tried wp8...its awesome the software running on a faster chip 2ill run amazingly fast in fact faster than android or ios. Also the. Voice recognition os better than anything apple have created and the lumia 920 has superior hardware and sorftware specs than most other thing! Thats why it was voted best phone in endgadget awards!

Cyber criminals just LOVE Android, and they can remotely customize everything on your insecure device as well ;o)

24. WeHateModernUI posted on 04 Mar 2013, 04:43 5 4

That's right.... iOS hasn't change at all since 2007.
BUT THAT WASN'T A PROBLEM.
It served it's targeted user very well... EASY OF USE UI.

For Android... it also targeted it's user well.
For a person who want to be different with other (heavy customization)

BUT THE PROBLEM is not android/apple
THE PROBLEM WITH WP7 / WP8.
Microsoft trying to be different.
Microsoft though IF IT COULD CREATE SOMETHING NEW AND PATENTED IT, it could be the next big things and android/apple will not follow.
AND HERE'S THE PROBLEM.... MICROSOFT IS USED TO BE A BULLY THROUGH OUT THEIR ENTIRE HISTORY.... SO WHEN MICROSOFT STUDY found out that people don't like metro UI. but they still FORCE IT.

Stop writing in CAPPS, and then maybe we'll take your comments seriously. No, actually, that's a lie. I read what you wrote, and I still don't take you seriously ;o)

lol now that's just a poor and uninformed comment.

31. Microsoft.is.a.jerk posted on 04 Mar 2013, 05:01 2 4

AGREE.
The big problem with WP8 is it's a closed platform
and nokia can't touch the OS level.
Nokia only allowed to touch the 3rd party area.

Same lame comment about android....
Have you ever used a phone running on jb???

66. stewie posted on 05 Mar 2013, 00:03 0 3

Same lame question about Android...

With every release Android fanboys seem to ask the same question over and over again. When Gingerbread was current and messy, the same fanboy would say have you tried Honeycomb? Then later updated to Honeycomb and realized it has all kinds of mess again, the same question pops up again for ICS. Now ICS isn't so great (again), the same question pops up for JB. Seriously, are you guys tired of s***???

To answer your question, YES, I've tried JB and it's still a mess!
