Survey indicates Windows Phone, Nokia, draws better customer ratings than Android and Samsung

And once again, the satisfaction does not indicate the awesomeness of the smartphone, but the postive attitude of the users...

I believe android users will have epic high satisfaction, IF THEY STOP BASHING APPLE AND MICROSOFT!!!!

I agree with PA here. Iam not a WP user but one of my friend got a nokia lumia 510 with WP 7.5 and i had to setup all the settings and all .. I played with it for 5 hours and i must say the experience was fantastic. Very smooth and it have almost all the great apps people complaint about.. Yes i think it will be or is indeed the 3rd big OS now. Way to go nokia..

Well considering nobody has bashed Windows or iOS in this article, its ironic that you would start the bashing on Android users.

10. wendygarett (limited) 2 days ago posted on 16 Jan 2013, 02:02 9 1

I never bash android user, in fact, I personally think android user are very smart, and know everything on tech, everytime I have a question on my iPhone I also ask you guy about it (never trust Apple marketing gimmick)

you guys are great, but business are always business, like it or not Apple and Microsoft are always on profit side, Google might not focus much on profit, but that doesn't mean Google is a charity company... So I hope android fans stop hate them because of the $$$$$

You agree that Android user are more techkey because it allow user to tweak which may or may not be everyone cup of tea. But having an option is better than not having it.

For the business side, Android is free for business if not for apple and m$ constant patent attack. However, there are also both good and bad points. Good is consumer have more choices, more type of devices such as professional camera can be further enhance with Android Apps integration. Bad is that market are flooded with Android junk, slow device with poor customer support. Overall, consumer should read up a bit to avoid buying a lemon.

I personally have friends that buy $70 Android tablet and the device really slow and laggy.

I would like to say that Windows Phone does really makes something what I want. It is simple. I tried my cousin Lumia 920, the gaming is awesome. The graphic is something similar of what you can get on a high performance laptop. No matter how many apps you download, it creates a whole list of apps (that is the disadvantage for wp). The thing is it is as smooth as silk. The note 2 that I'm using has some difficulties to cope with many apps in the phone. WP is a new os to be try out. It will give what you feel.

All of us owned a Nokia phone. When I compare any phone to Nokia's phone, I feel what I have like a cheap Chinese gadget. In spite of its good quality in fact. But, Nothing is comparable to Nokia.

6. cripton805 posted on 16 Jan 2013, 01:44 2 4

There is a whole lot more Samsung owners out there than Nokias at this moment, so considering the amount of people, its pretty good.

I wonder how many people took the survey for each manufacturer.

If iPhone owners are happy, then good for them too.

9. samystic posted on 16 Jan 2013, 01:54 3 0

owners - not true as almost everyone has / had a Nokia
users - yes

little correction ;)

Actually i think there are still more Nokia users than Samsung ones. After all, Nokia was selling the most phones for 14 consecutive years, while Samsung only 1 year so far.

40. -box- posted on 16 Jan 2013, 07:42 1 1

And year-end figures haven't been finalized and verified yet, so Nokia may still have its yearly crown.

Ill just leave it at that...
Samsung has been VERY succesful too in the past decade.

I will repeat myself...

NOKIA AND WINDOWS TOGETHER AS AN ENTITY.

If it's true in the world

I really don't know why

But can you tell me why Sammy products are selling like hotcakes and being expected by huge interests more than Nokia's or even Apple's product(Maybe first time with Galaxy S IV than iphone) even if they are happier than Sammy users?

Sorry no matter what you think
the world likes Apple and Samsung at the moment

Nokia is far behind at least for now because they are not even close to both giants...This is the fact

19. wendygarett (limited) 2 days ago posted on 16 Jan 2013, 02:33 6 0

Imo, good sales doesn't mean good satisfaction...

McDonald has the best sales among the fast food... But does consumer happy with it? I don't think so (where subway is way better than that)...

volume player will never beat niche player when it comes to satisfaction, due to several factors...

30. MrJerry posted on 16 Jan 2013, 06:12 0 5

Why do u compared mac with subway?

Your comment is irrelevant at all

You should compare it with burger king cause subway and mac arent in same categories..

So now if people buy so many more burgers in mac than burger king...why should i not consider mac is better than burger king??

Please give me damm good reason

Honestly

Your comment could be used for poor excuse in the business

Is there any company which wants to satisfy their customers rather than making money from them?

Please get some reality

Company making low profits or even less than zero must be doing something wrong...but their loyal customers cant really see the fact and think they r still best...which means their loyal customers could be harm for them... Very ironically but Nokia is best example of this and Apple could follow this in few years if they keeps doing same things whay they have been doing another years..

Dont give me a BB

Give me a fact

Did nokia do well in recent few years?

I dont even wanna campare it to ss n apple because they only have shiny old glory and kept doing ss**t

Now we have seen some positives about nokia 920 n ms os and nokia fans straitaway think they just got that glory back..
Actually nokia fans are as much fxxxxd as ifans

They just cant argue with cause no matter what the fact is nokia is always best for them

What a pity

Find a $275 samsung android phone(Like galaxy ace) and compare it with Lumia 620. See which one is laggy like a snail and which one is smoothest.

Then compare the Lumia 620 against a Lumia 920 and try to find any difference regarding smoothness, if you can. Now compare your $275 android phone with S3 and do I have to tell you how many differences you will spot?

You can do the same with $190 Lumia 510 vs $190 samsung Android phone. And then compare it with the flagship phone to find the smoothness difference.

That's why WP (almost identical smoothness & responsiveness on every devices regardless whether it's flagship or low end) gets more satisfaction than Android(Varying smoothness and responsiveness) experience (Because not everyone buy flagship devices) and Nokia(solid looking devices & WP devices) get more satisfaction than Samsung(Gives priority to specs than look and multiple OS adoptions, which will vary the user experience).

38. protozeloz posted on 16 Jan 2013, 07:09 0 2

Actually the comparison is rather vague, the Ace you use as an example is around 2 years old, and runs the low bench numbers...

Anyways hopefully this year we are better processors on cheaper phones, and have other (much expensive) factors removed to make things cheap...

Lumia 510 and Lumia 610 uses the same MSM7227A soc @ 800 MHz, while Galaxy Ace uses MSM7227A @ 1GHZ.

Compare them both and find yourself which one is the smoothest. Of course you won't see much of a difference between Lumia 510 and Lumia 900 when you compare it. But you will not only feel Galaxy ace Laggy even though it runs on same processor at a higher frequency (1GHz) and when you compare it with phones like galaxy s 2 or S3, you will feel the difference like night and day.

Even if Android does use more resources do you think it uses 100% of the extra power? Think about this...

Some phones are being updated to Jelly Bean like the SGII.
That phone doesnt have a quad core or 2gb of ram.

Please state facts instead of lies and non sense. About time we start putting down some of these "SO CALLED" facts.

I wonder how much power the Nexus would have to use up for the Lumia to finally take the lead on it. I wish someone would do a real benchmark on them to put these arguments to rest.

16. 8logic posted on 16 Jan 2013, 02:24 1 3

i guess if you enjoy living within the boxes then wp8 is right for you, because all the tweaks android user like doing to their phones requires extra resources!

18. Whateverman posted on 16 Jan 2013, 02:32 1 2

Maybe it's the ghost of Windows Mobile. I know just hearing the name Windows Mobile brings shivers to my spine, and MS hasn't fully shaken that "horrible mobile experience" image just yet.

As for your comparison, I think your right about WP8. It doesn't need the extra ram or 8 cores. But most Android users don't really care that it may "need" 4, 8,16,or 72 cores. As long as the phone performs well, we don't see the extra hardware as a detriment, we like it.

should start a list of the worst fanboys on here, sadly right now its android fanboys that are the problem more then any. like you said every wp8 article is swarmed on by android fanboys saying how its better and the only real choice

so bored of the bs

why ?? nokia has made more wp devices than any other and samsung hasnt launched wp device yet, ativ s is just a s3 with wp, so pointless.
Guess what ?? lumia 920 trounces any wp device, and droid dna might be better, future proof, but it is still stuck on 8mpx and doesnt have puremotion, pureview and ois.
