Android to WP, will I regret it?

RSR · 18 Apr 2014 at 18:21

It's getting better, but in most cases iOS are miles ahead of both WP8 and Android due to them being the primary development platform.

Can't do sonos on W (I think).

Tunney · 18 Apr 2014 at 18:54

No Sonos app would be a deal breaker for me. I doubt there's any third-party apps for it.

Get a Nexus 5 and buy a digital camera with the savings, you could get a good second hand DSLR with the saving from the 1520.

You can get a dsrl for £110?

£239 vs £349

The 1520 is a bargain with such a massive screen, camera and battery.

Struggling to find one for less than £420 on a reputable store.

I vote for a Moto G

Yea, that's so much more practical for someone that doesn't want to carry around a second large bulky device.

It doesn't matter anymore, all the major apps are exactly the same, now's the battle of the UIs and what looks good, and that sure isn't the iPhone.

I couldn't disagree more, but there we go.

Bottom line is if the camera is important, nothing comes close to the 1020 in the Mobile market.

There's a 50MP camera android phone with a 2K screen coming out next month.
And it has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 not the old 800 the 1020 has. Also it has 3GB of ram, and it's cheaper

There is a bit of miss information there.....

These threads always go the same way... Sigh

Indeed they do.

OP should know better than ask these type of questions in here

Just gotta try it and see...

...some keyboard warriors just get too emotional.

I like the editability of my Nexus 5 but...

I had a Lumia before this. WP is actually very, very good (imho, ymmv, ttfn). The OS is very smooth, and easy to navigate. Things that sound like they should be near each other, just are. When I upgraded last it was very close between this N5 and the Lumia 1020.

I think you're going to have to wait for a review on that setting as its not so much about the pixels but house Nokia users it for oversampling and hows that's utilized.

Wow, didn't mean to start a WP vs Android vs iOS battle in here!

I had a play with one in the store yesterday and I think I can live with its differences compared to Android for a short while. My Note1 is so buggy at the moment and I fancy sitting out for a few months with something else.

I've got a Nexus 7 that I can use for SONOS at home so it isn't a deal breaker for me. I think will miss the integration of the Google services on the go though, I don't carry the Nexus about with me unless travelling.

Yes, isn't that in line with what Robbo was saying?

Brenn47 · 19 Apr 2014 at 17:31

Robbo suggested the iPhone until I posted this! LOL
