Confusion and FUD. WP8 is just as good as any of the top mobile OSes out there. I dare say it probably is the most fluid and intuitive of the lot.

iOS is even more dependent on iTunes for transfer of music files than WP8 is on Zune and yet iOS has gained wide acceptance. This fact is hardly a deal breaker when going for WP8.
Windows Phone 8 is not on ZUNE. You cannot use Zune to synchronize Windows Phone 8.

jedisco: I'm beginning to see these Tecno fans as people who have used java phones all their lives and so can easily pee in their pants over basic phone functions.

One thing you guys should understand is that no matter the way you look at it, ALL ( take note ALL ) current Tecno phones can only be regarded as very low - low end phones.
So y'all need to take a pill and stop having orgasms over nothing.

all4naija: Windows Phone 8 is not on ZUNE. You cannot use Zune to synchronize Windows Phone 8.

Thanks for the correction, I was being drawn into an unfounded argument about the alleged shortcomings of WP8. The point I wanted to make there was that WP8 was designed as a standalone OS and didn't need any software like iOS and iTunes.

Frostyzone:

You seem even more confused as you are making me out to be.

I ended my post by saying that out of WP7, WP7.8 and WP8, the later is the only one that can compete with Android high-end OS which is jelly bean. What is so confusing about that??

Some people just lack comprehension faculty.

You do realize that there are major differences between WP8 and WP7 do you? These differences from the completely dissimilar kernels to the fact that WP7 can only support single core processors and different screen resolutions compared to WP8 means you can't just lump them all together. . .I don't even know where to start regarding your mention of Jelly Bean.

irokobest: Techno N7 and Q1 are not low end android phones
Well they certainly aren't high end either. With only 512 RAM, no 4G/LTE radios and unimpressive screen resolutions they qualify as entry level smartphones in 2013.
Re: Lumia 925 Windows Phone By Nokia by jedisco(m): 9:47am On May 16, 2013
irokobest: Techno N7 and Q1 are not low end android phones

They are certainly low-end.

Phones like the galaxy grand and S3 mini are mid-range while the S3 and S4 are high-end.

You can draw your extrapolations from that.

Frostyzone:

I strongly disagree on the bolded.

Android OS is such a simple and superb
platform where you can turn your phone into a complete utility machine.
In Nokia's Lumia series, to transfer content like music and videos you need to download and install Zune into the machine, without which, your phone is nothing.
Whereas in Android you don't need any
special thing to start the mass storage mode.
The only strong contender coming from WP Stable is WP8 which is almost as good as android's Jelly bean.

You are quite confused man.

Most of the things you said are wrong.
For starters, let me point out one. Android has never been associated with simplicity. Infact it's the most complex modern OS.

Bawss1: Is there some kind of plague tormenting the minds of some people on this forum? Why is it hard to express yourself without feigning some kind of superiority, especially when it doesn't exists?

How hard can it be to say "gee Nokia has released another phone unfortunately I'm too broke to afford to it", instead of saying "Nokia has completely lost it with this release, my Tecno which is a cheap android phone runs circles around this Lumia any day" grin
If the Lumia doesn't meet your needs, fine (you can even be gracious to explain what those needs are and how the Lumia fails to meet them) but for the sake of sanity and to avoid the risk of appearing as a dunce don't make unfounded comments about a product you haven't used yet let alone seen, in a dismissive manner.

All we are saying is that Team Tecno should give it a rest. Thanks smiley

Please tell them.
its obvious this guys have not seen a windows phone talkless of use one. Windows is the thing for me. The tiles,the daily app,game and music updates. A living phone.
the only disadvantage is they're strictly for the big boys.

Talking about seeing an Android phone every jack,Tom,di..ck and harry even in my village uses an Android phone. You are aware that techno has made dat possible. I can't compare the Android with an iPhone because they are too similar for my liking.

Soo we're left with a windows phone on one side and the andriod/iphone on the other. Windows is not too common i agree, but they are taking up the vast majority of the top smartphone market gradually. All phone makers are gradually shifting to the windows operating system.
Samsung has a windows phone.
HTC has a windows phone.
Nokia runs her Lumia series on windows op.

What else do you want? Soon blackberry,iPhone and others would join. Therby leaving the andriod market for techno.
Re: Lumia 925 Windows Phone By Nokia by oyekunle1: 9:36pm On May 28, 2013
runzlord: The only thing, i repeat THE ONLY THING Windows lack is Apps.... And forecast shows windows having as much apps as andriod in 2014..... Windows app store currently have the fastest growt and has more apps in its second year than ios and andriod in thier 2nd year! Besides andriod is tooo common now if i had the money i would go 4 a lumia..... Ive seen that fone just once (lumia 920) and i could not get my eyes off it! The phone is more than beautifull! Ive seen Gs3 and htc1 they re just lyk nomal fones in my eyes and window UI is fantastic! I swear its UI murders IOS + andriod + blackberry + firefox + unbutu put together... And with windows blue update (coming soon) lumia will be able to run .exe now tell me what ur andriod can do that a pc cant do? smiley Think ahead peeps! Andriod is now windows is the past and future!
Na so my bro
Re: Lumia 925 Windows Phone By Nokia by apparition: 10:52pm On May 28, 2013
I have said this a few times most people on this forum sing the praises of the Android OS because it has become fashionable to do so or at least that is what they think. The Android has its strengths and weaknesses and so does the Windows 8. You must put each phone through its paces as it were before drawing conclusions. Windows as an operating system however is still the most dominant operating system in the world by miles. I do not mean just for mobile gizmos. I mean looking at Operating Systems for all gizmos.
Re: Lumia 925 Windows Phone By Nokia by apparition: 11:22pm On May 28, 2013
Strictly speaking the Android is not really an Operating System as Androids generally use the Linux OS.

My question is why is there no trending topic for Lumia phones? I have at least 2 colleagues who have Lumia phones so people are buying them but on Nairaland here nobody seem to be saying much.

Lumia users over to you o!

Its still too early, I think? Funny enough Nokia and windows are more prominent or well known than blackberry but I have seen more people with the new and expensive Z10 than the windows phone. Well, based on the profits Nokia keeps posting, time will tell.
Who has seen or used the low end hauwei windows phone that came out recently?

6 months is too early? How long did it take the N3 thread to reach 300+ pages? About 6 months so why can't the Lumia users do even 10 pages?

I will agree that in terms of mind share BB Z10 has more impact but haba now WP8/Lumia suppose try now.

Could it be that they don't have enough apps? Recall that even the blackberry app store has more apps than the windows phone store. Also, blackberry had to port android apps and borrow some features to make the Z10 significant in todays market. I heard that there would be update called "blueballs" or "blue something" that would make windows phones do wonders, even beat S4. Maybe it would blow android and IOS out of the race then

That may be but it doesn't seem so here on NL. No one is enthusing about their Lumia's, that just seems so odd when even N3 users are all over the board claiming bragging rights.

The N3 fans are just raving glad they can equally rub shoulders with other "Expensive" andriod users with a very cheap purchase grin

The Lumia train is silent for the now, but with Nokia/microsoft investing and hinging their strategy on low budgets devices . .The rave will soon land our shores in the same manner the Lumia 520/521 churning out sales like no tomorrow in Asia and America . .

Specifically, the Lumia 520 is gradually ruling the Indian Market, only a matter of time before Nigeria catches the heat

Yes I own one and getting apps is quite easy cos developers are picking keen interest in the WP8 Platform . . .
