Should I invest in a Windows phone?
>>
Invest? What are you going to turn a profit with it?
>>
>>51547204
Do you like apps? If so no.
Do you not like being able to keep in touch with your friends via snap chat or a non buggy Facebook messenger app? If so then yes

lol they still make those?

i deleted it because i wasn't interested in seeing pictures of what my friends are doing 24/7, nor was i interested in uploading pictures of the things i was doing 24/7.

maybe you should grow up?

>>51547204

I like them a lot actually.

It feels fast and responsive, which is more than I can say for most android phones I've used.

Fair enough but ust because you don't like it, it doesn't mean you have to assume that everyone who uses it is like 12

Not one major app has the same amount of features as Android/iPhone counterpart.

Before you autists post about how you don't care about snapshit, this applies to banking apps including PayPal (no support for two part authentication), shopping apps, navigation etc.

I don't know, if it is possible to be any dumber than you, but you fit right in with the new generation, so nothing that I can say will register anyway.

I have an HTC ONE M8 with windows 10 mobile and i have no complaints. the whole "theres no apps thing" is BS. i used an android for years and there are zero apps that i miss. maybe some of you have some games or specific apps that arent available, but for myelf, using it mostly for work, having strong compatibiity with my desktop and tablet are very nice. my biggest complaint with the phone is the hardware... the camera blows.

Smart phones are dumb. You pay lots of money just to use Facebook and stupid snapchat.

Get a Samsung rugby flip phone, get a simple talk and text plan, hook it up to wifi so you can check email, buy a gps system for your car for cheap and buy an iPad for gay apps when you're home.

There. I just helped you not spend hundreds of dollars per year for the perceived convenience a smart phone gives you.

>no apps just phone
that's what windows phone is like except you can browse the web, and windows phones are dirt cheap

why are you projecting so hard? usually anyone who brags about the amount of friends he has online probably does not have very many friends at all

Anything with a big fancy screen and Internet etc is not worth the extra data plan.

Fuck of with your futuristic shit phones. It's an extra expense that our parents never had. Now just tack it onto our yearly expenses. Go on, fuck us. Brainwash us into thinking we need all that information and fancy cameras at our fingertips 24/7. Then make us think we don't pay for it somehow. Then make us think we are special for owning one. Go on, fuck us.

Enjoying my FLAC. This shit is off the wall, why aren't my iPod or FiiO E-07k this detailed?

It's like I'm really hearing my music for the first time

>>51547286
Also, Facebook Messenger works fine.
Basically the only messaging app I'm missing is Snapchat and whatever fuck proprietary shit Apple uses.
>>
>>51547204
Check if it has your apps.

If yes, do it. Remember you can go without many apps, don't be a manchild.

Ehy /g/, I'm leaving android and I'm considering a Windows Phone.
My needs are really basic: 4chin, telegram, youtube, a music player and whatsapp as apps and a decent camera. Don't care much about performance and I'm a poorfag from italy. What buy?
>>
>>51551667
Don't do it.

The grass is not greener.

It looks much better than when you actually use it.

Not the anon you replied , but I own a lumia 640.
By your list, you should do fine with a mid range wp. Lumia camera is decent, apps are there and they are pretty affordable, only downside is the lack of an official yt app, obviously there are alternatives but ehhhh. Search in the ms website for the apps you need and check by yourself. I'm too drunk to continue writing. Cheers.

i read recently most windows phone developers have quit making and updating apps.
So the app situation probably ain't gonna get any better.

I don't think you know what invest means

Get win 10 preview if you can, worth it for edge alone

>>51553835
WP autistic dev here. It's because the gap between 930 and 950 release was so fucking big and literally M$ was like, "you could forget about WP anyways". They even fucking did include a motherfucking Android emulator in W10Phone preview.
>>
I'm thinking about 640. I don't use any special app, i rarely watch videos, i just need it to browse sometimes and access gps maps and occasionally take a pic, is this phone for me? Also, how preferable is LTE over nonLTE?
>>
>>51554328
Buy lte only if you absolutely need hyperfast data. Otherwise non-lte hdspa will suffice
>>
>>51554381
Ok, so nonLTE then

One question (i never had smartphone before): Can you use smartphone's internet without SIM card? Also, can you turn your smartphone into wifi AP so other people can use your internet?
>>
>>51554410
Without sim you can use only wifi networks. Ap feature is present in almost every modern smartphone and uses the sim data. You then connect with your device to the network generated by your phone
