How's that Windows phone treating you /g/?
>>
>>52069420
Great, thanks for asking.
>>
>>52069420
Pretty good. Lumia 640.
>>
I love it so far, rocking a lumia 535 with win10
>>
>>52069420
if you were to have a surfacebook would it pair nicely with it?
>>
>>52069441
How's w10 on it? Did the battery life suffer? Is it still as smooth as w8.1?
I have lumia 640 and have been wondering whether to upgrade to w10 or not.
>>
>>52069420
Pretty nicely, but it sucks that you couldn't upgrade older models to WP8. Lumia 700 here, stuck at WP7. And none of the newer phones have matching looks without having a different form factor (I really like how the phone looks like a transparency-disabled PNG of a round phone). All the WP8 phones that have that look are much bigger, 5" or bigger.

>>52069473
battery life was horrible in the past builds, but the latest build is almost on par with 8.1 battery-wise. also, 10 is very smooth on lumia 535.
sorry for crappy english

>>52069420
My Lumia 930 is great, will be getting the 950 come February because of budgetary constraints.
>>
>>52069420
It's just a phone, so it's treating me good
>>
>>52069420
Considering a 950xl, but may go cheap and get a 1520.3 instead...
>>
Just super, thanks for asking!!
>>
>>52069438
I am thinking of getting either a 550 or 640. Not sure which though. You running Windows 10 on your 640?

So would you guys recommend a Lumia 735 for a budget smartphone?
>>
>>52069677
Nah, w.8.1. I like my 640, battery lasts quite good, so that's why I haven't tried upgrading to w10 yet. And the screen is quite good for what it costs.
>>
>>52069696
i think it's a pretty good choice if you know what you get with getting a windows phone
>inb4 no apps
>>
>>52069696
its great screen worth it!
The whole build quality feels premiun all around.
Not to say about the fantastic back and front camera.
Nokia really knew how to make awesome cameras!
Rocking it with the last W10M build. Rock solid and awesome battery life.
>>
>>52069420
Do we all agree that the only problem with the windows phones is app support?
>>
>>52070473
>not botnet
>>
>>52070485
all phones are botnet

iPhone 6S is working just fine. Thanks for asking

I have a 535 Too. Do you recommend to upgrade to 10? Why?
>>
Lumia 640. It's okay.
- too big
- no dedicated camera button
- no physical home button
>>
>>52070842
> too big
You knew what you were getting and most phones these days are like that.

But other points, yeah, I agree, especially
> no dedicated camera button

But for it's price I think it's more than okay.
>>
>>52069420
I have a 1050 laying around that I don't use anymore.
>>
>>52070842
>- no physical home button

all smartphones have too few physical buttons. This is nothing new.
>>
>>52072063
What? Isn't 1050 going to be released in 2016?
>>
>>52070682
Not him, but Edge replacing IE alone makes it worth it desu senpai
>>
>>52072063
oh shit I meant 1520
>>
>>52069887
yeah wondering if i should go lumia 550 or 640 or maybe a moto g. i have an iphone 5c at the moment but the storage is only 8gb (i was poor when i got it) and i want to get a cheap phone with similar specs to the iphone 5c but with micro sd
>>
>>52069420
Lumia 925, it's alright though I must admit I have no use for any apps beyond email and web browsing. I might switch, but depending on how the Win10 upgrade goes I also might stick with it.

I don't have a good feeling about the long-term health of the platform though.
>>
Fucking updates to w10 on w8 phones when?

No Im not going to join the insider program.
>>
>>52072118
Not that guy. But I may give w10 a go on my 640, gotta do some research first though.

>>52072141
> lumia 550 or 640
from what I've heard 640 has a better camera, 550 has a smaller screen. Battery is a bit better on the 640. 550 is newer. It's down to your own preference, I guess, unless you dig some info to help you decide.
Well, I'm not sure if android is as future proof as wangblows but you have roms on android.
I had a hard time deciding between the two (moto g and lumia 640. I have no regrets. I use my phone mostly for browsing the web, taking pictures and such things. W8.1 is pretty smooth.
>>
>>52072304
Yeah basically my iphone is shit because it is now getting stupidly slow and pissing me off. and the 8gb model only really has like 4gb of space which is nothing once you install a few apps as they are all fucking huge these days.

i listen to music, maybe once a month watch some netflix on the train, browse the web, listen to podcasts and audio books, etc. i dont do instagram or twitter, etc. the only thing is facebook messenger for keeping in touch with family desu.

i got the iphone because it was an ok deal at the time and it meant i could facetime and imessage with family but now we mostly just use facebook messenger as it works for us. as long as i can do fb messenger on the 640 i will probably just get that desu
>>
I finally got rid of my Lumia 520, some relative upgraded their phone and gave me their Motorola XT919. I always was going on about how WPs were so smooth and shit, but even this piece of shit Android one kicks the Lumia's ass to the moon and back.

Only thing I miss about WP is downloading maps of complete countries and being able to access them without a data plan/wifi. Is there a mapping app in Android that does this? Because Google sure as hell doesn't.

I use fb messenger on my 640 and it works well, I have not had any issues yet.
The screen is quite big for a phone but for web browsing it's good. You should try the phone first in a shop, that's what I did (bought online anyway, since they wanted too much for it where I tried it).
Have a picture of my grandpa's cat.
>>
>>52073171
yeah i think it is gonna be between the moto g and the 640. the moto g is a little more expensive but i think it is also a slightly better phone so probably worth it. i want to see if the UK moto g gets the new android though.

cheers anon, cute cat
