Goodbye Apple! Hello Windows!



I made the switch!  From my iPhone 4 phone to my Nokia Lumina 920 Windows 8 phone.  I also have an Android.  Gone is the over pricing of Apple products and their developer apps, and I'm still getting an incredible device.  I don't need 500,000 apps to run my phone.  The apps I that it came with and the additional that I've installed work perfectly on my Nokia.  It is a "quick" phone by it's OS set up and hardware (1.5 ghz dual core).  Although you couldn't tell here, the picture quality is sharp and bright.  It's hard to believe that I use to get happy over a monochrome flip phone just 10 years ago, when compared to this.  This is a perfect phone for people who want a smartphone, but do not want to deal with the complications of setting up your Apple or Android screen/folders/access to applications.  Quick and easy is the Window phone motto.  Well done MS!

A Windows Phone Is On The Way

It's taken me a couple years now, but I've finally caved in and purchased a Windows Nokia 920 cellular phone.  I bought one for my sister two summers ago, a phone that was already 9 months old itself.  She loved it.  But it would only update to the Windows 6.5.  So I got her a Samsung Android phone as an upgrade.  She loves having more apps with the Android, but does miss the quick in and out access to her old Windows phone..  The older Windows platform was a little bit limited in terms of applications.  That world seems to be expanding.  With the big Windows 8 push a few months ago, I think my Windows phone will do well once it arrives and I set it up.  It seems to have access to most of the applications that I will need it for.  The prices on the Apple phones, when compared to the other phones available is outrageous.  I like Apple's concept and all, but not at the expense of my wallet and good sense.  These phones, as great as they are, are not timepieces that will sit on display at a museum.  No more than 4 months after they are released, they are "old" technology.  Sorry Apple, I guess I don't get a second bite?
