What's the Windows phone of choice?

bremen1874 · 14 Jan 2012 at 05:43

I'm planning to finally get myself a smart phone.

The choice of handset for iOS or Android isn’t too hand to narrow down (4S, Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Nexus).

Is there a default handset of choice if I decided to go down the Windows route?

Sorry if this is a common question.

Nokia Lumia 800 I think.

Yeah the Lumia 800 is more or less the flagship at the moment. Wouldn't bother with the HTC Titan 2 as 4.7" is too big for an 800*480 screen nowadays and 16MP won't do anything but murder noise (low light) performance. Nothing else major really on the market for WP7 at the moment but then with the Lumia 800 that doesn't really matter.

Nokia Lumia 800 at the moment.

i'll join the crowd and say Nokia Lumia 800

LG Optimus 7.............. but seriously Lumia 800.

To be honest there is not much difference from phone to phone, I have just ordered myself a HTC Trophy 7.

Had a look at the lumia in a shop today, the clear black screen tech really does make the screen look like it is floating on the top, really beautiful phone, and i have Nokia drive on my phone and it works brilliantly instant fix and directions are flawless.

I know a lot here wont say it, but the Lumia 800 is very good.

bremen1874 · 14 Jan 2012 at 16:23

I guess I’ll have a look at the Lumia 800 then.

Thanks all.

Bare in mind that there will most likely be a few more nokia phones coming out soon with WP7 on.

Out of interest, can Nokia Drive work on other brands of phone? (I.e. is it just an app you can buy?) (It would be in their interest if you could buy it).

Nokia only AFAIK

Slyman · 14 Jan 2012 at 19:02

I have Drive on my Omnia 7 and it is a very slick app.
I actually use in preference to my tomtom for short journeys.
You need a developer/chevron unlock and version 1.0.0.1101 as they locked it to Nokia phones after that I think.
Nokia Maps and Music work as well.

I think this may have been an example of what's generally known as irony. That’s how I read it anyway.

I think he means there are a lot of Android fans in this forum and people might try and put you off, that's all.

He was clearly making a joke...

Really? Where are they then?

I didn't say that, it's probably just what he meant.

As for where they are, do you really need to ask?
