is windows phone ever an acceptable choice, /g/?
sure

I have exactly that phone and it does everything I need.
So yes.
>>52022269
Nope. They can't even get flagships right. They're so bad, Amazon has cancelled all sales of the 950xl in refugee country (Germany).
Just get a Android from a year ago if you want a good, cheap phone. Otherwise, buy a nice flagship.

Microsoft should of released their Surface Phone concept instead of this to help kickstart their mobile platform. However since Microsoft is still partially retarded they keep making Nokia phones nobody wants.
Windows has some serious potential now that we can turn any phone into a PC which business folks and students could totally benefit from.
However... Microsoft still keeps delaying Windows for mobile for some reason and people are getting impatient. It's only available for only a select few phones and that's it.

Depends, I have lumia 535 and it has a very good batter and the build quality is very solid, overall its a really good phone but some apps aren't available in the store
Probably the 640.
Don't take the recent flagships.
>>52022269
It will be very soon with edge updates and the upcoming Windows 10 mobile os.
None of the lagroid lag plus much better aesthetic for the minimalist of /g/.

Not worth it.
Windows phone never is.

Yes, but do your research somewhere else. This place is full of anti-microsoft babies.

windows 10 doesn't really have resuming screens anymore.
not to mention the only phones that show resuming screens are the ones with 1GB of ram or less. so it 's funny that you faggots even mention it when 1GB of ram android phones lag like shit after 2 months of use.

Don't really recommend newcomers to get W10 yet. I got used to it from using Insider for months but it's not something you'd really want to show off just yet.
>>52022269
If you're a poorfag, yes.
Otherwise, nah.

So how long till Microsoft gives up on Windows Phone?
>>52022269
Windows phones lack apps, just get a BLU Life One X for $150 if you want a solid cheap phone

for the <$100 dollar price range light phone user yes
>>52022269
Sure, just don't get the 950/XL

Been a 1520 user here for close to two years here. It was actually my first smart phone so I really can't compare it to either android or the iphone. It has been serving me well though. Recently, I've been having issues with phantom touches though. Further research seem to point out that said phantom touches are caused by a design flaw or something.

If it runs the x86_64 version of windows and can support a traditional desktop
I'd buy one if i used Windows. would probably be missing heaps of apps though, but it's going to work much better with windows than an iPhone or android does, unless MS have lost the plot completely
Works for people with jobs and friends. If you cant live without apps then find some friends. You might get laid more than twice a year if you get a paycheck and interact with humans once in a while.
i have one, not really.
Unless you need to play games like a child, it's an excellent phone.
>no apps
>still can't change your default browser in 2016
>the apps that ARE available are seldomly updated compared to other platforms
There is literally no feature on WP that really sells the platform.
Fuck no, and here is why. Micheal Fisher fucking BTFO'd the flagship hard.

and why wouldn't you buy an android and simply not use said apps?

Windows phone integrates with Windows.
iPhone integrates with iOS and OSX
Android integrates with Google web browser.
If you wish windows was a better platform, you'd be using a windows phone on principle.
