Guys,I plan to buy two same model handphone,one for me and one for my gf. I prefer Nokia Lumia 800 while she prefer Samsung Galaxy S2. She concern about Nokia Lumia 800 didn't have front camera which cant video call. I prefer the smoothness of Nokia Lumia 800.

Can I know is there any big different between these two phone? I heard a  lot in this forum complain about Samsung Galaxy S2 laggy.

Smoothness and integration android havent able to win Nokia lumia 800 it needs a quad core to be on the same level of smoothness. I got SGS II its abit laggy since i used WP7 u can see the huge difference.

Applications/Games
SGS II Android - tons of apps
Nokia Lumia 800 - Limited apps

Camera
SGS II Android - average camera
Nokia Lumia 800 - Carl zeiss optics
Some samples taken by Nokia lumia 800 without editing

To request recommendation, what u need to post:

1. Brand. any
2. Budget. <1500
3. Specs.
4. Type/Size. bigger than iphone, not bigger than s.note

I am currently using nokia n82, only surf FB using wifi, decent camera will b enuf, coz if i wan to shoot high quality i will use my dslr. not a type of person gonna spend time gaming on phone.

I dont hav knowledge on OS that available in the phone and I dunno how to compare them, therefore I need help.

My 1st priority will b d screen display color, i like sg2 vivid color, follow by quality gorilla glass and overall built quality and run smoothness.

Seems like Nokia Lumia 800 more suitable for your usage pattern

Camera 8 MP carl zeiss optics similar to your N82

People hub WP7 as the best Social integration compare to android.


Another best integration is the messaging u can see 1 entire conversation from facebook chat, sms, mms, windows live messenger all from one place without additional app.


My 1st priority will b d screen display color, i like sg2 vivid color, follow by quality gorilla glass and overall built quality and run smoothness.

1. The nokia lumia 800 screen even sharper with nokia clearback display and curve glass, dont forget with gorilla glass lastly polycarbonate body

since lumia 800 looks great i would like to know more about wp7.

what do u mean by no mass storage in wp7? u mean any phone run by wp7 cant have expandable memory? because i like to put hundreds of songs on it


Added on May 1, 2012, 8:05 pm

looks quite awesome. what does this phone has compare to others phone in same price range? like competitive advantage
*
If means it doesnt support copy paste into the phone because it uses a sync method. The benefit of sync is everytime u plug your phone to your computer it will auto sync or we call it auto transfer.

Like me i dont need to plug my phone then select mass storage then go find the songs or video then copy then paste. Auto sync i just put that songs into my music folder it will auto sync everytime i plug my phone. You can still put alot of songs but within the 16GB. So depends on what you need.

If you have a live account you have free skydrive 25GB so you can anytime transfer within the online storage and your phone.

Wthin the same price range none of the android have such integration deep within. Especially camera you can google the photos of other androids phones non came close to the photos i took with the Nokia Lumia 800.

When an android user tells you other brand is overprice they means the processor. Android needs a higher core to be smooth windows phone do not. If u need more explaination read this

U and aspire always say opposite things, so who is correct leh? rclxub.gif

i have shown proof time over time over time. you be the judge. I walk the talk i dont just talk. BTW I have Samsung Galaxy R, Nokia N8, Nokia N9,Nokia C7,Nokia 700 , Nokia Lumia 800 , Iphone 4S, Ipad 2 and my HTC One X coming next week from maxis.

Like i always said different OS have their pros and cons you be the judge which suits you.

Android is good but in certain perspective yes but not everything. If you are an apps person go for android or iOS but if you are into social integration like me i prefer WP7. How fast u can share your photos, send to skydrive and even check for updates. Like facebook chat since i got the phone i always use facebook chat it feels integrated.

One speciality of Wp7 example u are talking to someone on windows live messenger suddenly he/she go offline you can continue your conversation on SMS or later she/he logged on to facebook chat you can continue. It even feeds events from your facebook and integrates into your calender. If you choose not to attend that event it will be remove from your calender automatic but if you choose to attend it will stay and remind you of that event.

Try buy a device which suits you not the brand

Hi, I am using Samsung Galaxy S, thinkning of waiting for Lumia 900 to come out and then selll my Samsung. I love simplicity when comes to operating Hand phone. User friendly UI is important too. But limitations that you listed above sound quite putting off for me. Especially no.2 and no.3.

No.2: Do you mean transferring files like pictures, excels, pdf, doc., etc. you need a certain software (zune) to transfer from my phone to my laptop and vice versa.

No.3: What do you mean by limited bluetooth file transfer? I transfer a lot of pictures, PDF, documents from my phone to my laptop via bluetooth.

Thanks if you could clarify...  notworthy.gif

usually if u used WP7 or iOS then switch to android you will feel everything is slow by 0.4 milisecond from my experience

every where someone will tell you apple launching another new phone and apple trend since the first iphone till today is the same. Check the launch date and its estimated next device is a year or more. Apple are not like under manufacturer keep launching tons of devices they focus on one and make it the best, No matter how people tell you when if you take time to study its pattern for ipod, ipad and iphone its always a year. Do your research

i'm thinkin of motorola milestone.. any good?

Most phone with autofocus can take text but if you want detail u need a higher megapixels. Just imagine the text its even smaller than a 10cents. Its taken by Nokia N8. 2nd hand about your budget 550

X10 is a good camera phone i seen how it perform but just detail not good as N8. Milestone is a lovely phone for overall .

Unit there no difference but if you buy from nokia shop sometimes they have extra freebies example

NOkia Lumia 900 now free DC16 portable charger.

If you buy from dealer you might not get the above offer
