The reign of iPhone is slowly washing out...
4S was it's peak...iP5 is no longer gorgeous and beautiful.
Here comes the Lumias...the new innovation!

A UI based of AOL's website from 1996 is not innovation.

Thank u. That dude needs to hush. Ip5 isn't beautiful? Dude that's your opinion, millions of sales indicate different.
26. TROLL posted on 16 Oct 2012, 18:15 1 14
The different is, it's the trend and fashion,....
31. HouTexan posted on 16 Oct 2012, 18:29 16 3
Not true. Most (not all) buy it because it has a damn Apple logo on the back and because they think it's "what's hot" . Sales don't tell the story.
42. darkkjedii posted on 16 Oct 2012, 19:10 3 11
Again that's your opinion. Tell me this, have u asked the millions of iOS users if they bought it cuz of the logo on the back? If not, then u can't say it's not true, and if u haven't asked them then its your opinion. Sales tell a major story also.
63. chaoticrazor posted on 17 Oct 2012, 04:37 7 0
always going back to sales, its all you apple trolls have. you hold it up like its your victory, ''look i follow the crowd '' is what your saying
and dont reply from your other comments anything you say will be stupid and irrelevant

i agree with HouTexan, here in Lebanon, most (not all) bought the iPhone 5 for it's Apple logo on the back, not because its innovative or worth the money u pay for, because some people consider that if they have the iPhone 5, they are rich...

Asseek i am Lebanese and you are completely right. Unfortunately, Windows Phone is rarely known in this country and Nokia should advertise the lumia 820/920 ASAP
104. asseek posted on 18 Oct 2012, 11:51 0 0
yea i totally agree with u bro, man I go to cellphone stores and i ask 'em about Nokia Lumia, they never heard of!! :S Nokia should concentrate on the Lebanese market again, since almost all Lebanese had Nokia phones. my total respact for u bro

I am currently holding a Titan and can't wati to get my hands on a 920!!! Yeyyy finally someone else has a brain in this country!!!

Indeed, Asseek, I am lebanese and this is 100% True...all iPhone users here are like sh**p, they just follow the trend and most of them don't know how to use it!!!
66. Nathan_ingx posted on 17 Oct 2012, 05:12 7 0
Hahaha...Darkkjedii, you're funny man! You have to get into iP5's sales estimations to see if iP5 is beautiful?
Yes, in my personal opinion, iPhone 5 is nowhere near beautiful... And according to you, no wait, according to millions of sales of the phone, you conclude the phone is beautiful.
This is what votes do to people...the depend too much on estimations!!
27. TROLL posted on 16 Oct 2012, 18:18 2 15
True, and the way the layout and settings are allover the place. Puzzling and looks weird.
44. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 16 Oct 2012, 19:20 3 9
the home screen looks "cluttered" and the app draw is a long scroll down to find what u may be looking for also there wont be nearly as many apps as there are on android..........but thats where progress steps in right?
Is it better than android? not in my opinion simply because android has come A LONG WAY from a humble beginning and we my friend are going to dominate for a long time to come....
45. TROLL posted on 16 Oct 2012, 19:23 1 10
Already have....+1
88. -box- posted on 17 Oct 2012, 08:58 4 0
@xperia-knight: no need to scroll that much, just press the letter that the app's name starts with, it jumps right to that section. Also, pinning frequently used apps to the home screen makes it even faster, especially with the coming resizeable tiles.
59. Nathan_ingx posted on 17 Oct 2012, 01:23 9 0
Oi, homeboy...who's talking about UI here?? Do
you think the tiles are all that i know about the
920?? Do you even know what Pureview is? Or what OIS stands for?
And Darkjedi, my opinion??
Tell me something...do you think people stick to
iP5 after 4S because it's beautiful and simple? Or because most don't know how to go Android
since it's way complicated for them?? Cause
last i checked, even 4S lovers complained
about the boring looks of iP5.
Yeah, it's beautiful...but it's a beautiful disaster!
73. TROLL posted on 17 Oct 2012, 06:23 0 3
The ip5 can run anygames, unlike lagging and limited games.
81. Nathan_ingx posted on 17 Oct 2012, 07:47 4 0
Troll, i couldn't have chosen a better name for you myself. And with that profile picture, it suits you very well!!!
Tell me something other than games...like the hard ware? Processor? Camera? Anything you find innovative...of course in your savior, iP5.

do u play League of Legends? Troll's profile picture looks like Taric :') so gay
61. gothicheart posted on 17 Oct 2012, 02:58 1 0
and i gues you're one of the few who calls the ip5 an innovation right? how smart...
84. asseek posted on 17 Oct 2012, 08:07 2 0
he said "Here comes the Lumias...the new innovation"
he meant the new Lumia is the innovation, not the OS on it, or the UI of wp8
so if u wanna argue, read well, and its either u argue about the subject or shut up..

Thank You Asseek, for the clarification. Some people need to read well and understand what is being written before commenting on their own will.
98. asseek posted on 17 Oct 2012, 11:30 0 0
no worries bro, they understand the comments the way they want, and then comment without even thinking (just to show their love for android) arguing you on something u didn't even mention
54. cretinick posted on 16 Oct 2012, 22:27 3 1
I only can think that the Lumia 920 has a hardware so freaking fantastic, that Nokia could put any operating system on it and it would sell like water in the desert anyway!
WP7/7.5 has many flaws. Most of users that are pre-ordering the L920 never used the WP OS, or never used for more than a couple of minutes, scrolling the screen up and down.
I really hope that the WP8 come way better than the WP7.5... Or the L920 will be the bigger fail of the year. Great Hardware with a very limited OS.
89. -box- posted on 17 Oct 2012, 08:59 0 0
What flaws does it have? It has some gaps in terms of features, but nothing I would call flaws that haven't been fixed that I've encountered. Lumia 900 owner here.
95. cretinick posted on 17 Oct 2012, 10:43 0 0
You can't move the contacts to the SIM card to use in another phone (in case your battery goes off and you have to call someone using a friend phone).
You can't see the duration time of a call. (only can see the time it was made).
Notifications are awful.
And for those who are familiarized to Android (and Symbian),the absence of widgets makes alot of diference.
Some simple tasks, like turn on and off Wi-Fi, GPS, 3G and Plane mode are not as easy like in others OS (Not a big trouble! But it is not as simple as on other OSs).

74. TROLL posted on 17 Oct 2012, 06:27 0 2
Its been 2years, I don't see no progress. U ask the public what Nokias highend sets are, people say its the Nseries. Whats Lumia....?
77. chaoticrazor posted on 17 Oct 2012, 06:33 2 0
if you see no progress you aint looking, nokia have come along way and whatever you think about certain people's decisions the lumia's are excellent spec phones that should give wp8 a kick start
just because you personally are what threatened by change dont mean anything
everything starts somewhere, android started on shaky ground now look. wp8 can be a real competitor so deal with it

38. BillyG posted on 16 Oct 2012, 18:46 2 6
agree, its a pre-order. besides, people already got their iP5 or order directly in apple online store, i bet other high end android can easily be #1 at PhoneHouse.
and stay pressed... nokia will be #1 again, after people try that half baked WP and return it to PhoneHouse...

@troll: Do you know what you're talking about? No kernels? IT SHARES ITS KERNEL WITH WINDOWS 8, YOU FOOL.
Besides, why would you want to mess with something an OEM spent hundred of thousands, if not millions, of dollars (or euros, or yen, etc) on tweaking and perfecting, if it's already capable? I could understand that for iphone because it's so restricted, and early Android to get newer features, but WP is the newest widely-available OS, and it shows. It doesn't need tweaking or pushing boundaries. As WP8Forever said, it's like a Ferrari: you buy a Ferrari to be a Ferrari, not some tuned up fart-can-bearing cheapo that you have to modify to get to have decent performance. Do you feel the need to hack your television? How about your microwave? No? Why is that? Oh, because they work the way they're intended out of the box, just like a WIndows Phone, and it's unlikely you'd be able to improve anything beyond what's already there without causing damage. Yes, it is FUN to hack, tweak, and modify, but it isn't necessary for everything. And as for specs, guess what, the WP8s have the same specs (excepting the quad-core processors) as their Android brethren. ATIV S is a reskinned GS3. WP8X is reskinned OneX+. Are those "last year"?

I played around with the 820 from the Nokia rep and it was pretty smooth. Loved the live tiles on it and how you could pick the size. Pretty impressive nokia.

Lol, you can get live tiles with android too (launcher 7 ), if you like windows phone for that silly detail
