Answer 4

I have a windows 7 phone and love it so windows 8 would be a whole load better!

My last three phones were android and I found that they always crashed, like apps would crash and freeze the whole phone and it would also freeze just in the home screen

When an app on my windows phone crashes it just quits by itself and returns to the home screen without freezing the phone at all

Windows has less apps that android obviously because its not as big as android but I can still get good games and all the general apps I need

Using the keyboard on windows is amazing, it hardly ever lags and keeps up with really fast typing when I've always found android to lag and doesn't keep up with fast texting even with a paid keyboard



GO FOR THE WINDOWS PHONE!

Answer 5

No,windows phone is for business purpose so it has less apps than android and android has tons of apps in it.so android phone is good for one who wants lots of apps with different varieties and games.

Answer 6

Microsoft have come out and said the they will not support the windows 8 phone after 18 months with that said i would stick with android. and windows 8 does and will not have as many apps as android does

Answer 7

Android ...

Answer 8

My vote has to go to Android, and android is growing, and has even outnumbered the Iphone users, and its expected to outnumber the Ipad users by the end of the year thanks to the Nexus line. Simply said google has really stepped up the game lately and are making the android experience much...well better then it has been before. While Apple's stocks are at an all time low and their competitor Google's stocks at an all-time high, and support for Apple devices are waning they still have the biggest app market. Windows has the same opportunity as well but with such a small market share developers are much more interested in Android right now then they are on a platform that hasn't proven if it can sell yet. Its actually a bit of a shame because I would have love to see Microsoft change the mobile world like they did with PCs, but the market has moved to be dipoled, with Android at the head, Apple closely behind, and Windows a distant 3rd. Windows started late to the mobile arena, but its a highly competitive game, mostly between Google's Android, and Apple's iOS.

And Windows may still come to be a major player, but with them so new to the game, I'd wait before diving it



To...Ahem play on a famous lyric by Jim Morrison, Apple has got the guns, but Google's got the numbers, and there isn't a whole lot of room for anyone else.

Answer 9

if your rich, might be fun to try Winphone, do you run Metro Win8 on a pc or tablet? Might be very frustrating to learn new system with the smaller selection of apps. I'd prefer to stay with droid and do a Note2 or HTC One or new Galaxy

Answer 10

windows 8 is best.



windows phone 8 is way way better than android

windows 8 is fastest operating system ever

windows phone 8 just need

1ghz duel core processors and 512 mb ram for 800*480 resolution

1.5 ghz duel core and 1gb ram for 1280*720 and 1280*768 resolution

thats make good battery backup

while android need quad octa processors



windows 8 is a private developement under microsoft or their partner companies

thats why it is most secure operating system like ios(Apple)



now a days windows market place is growing it has 150000+ apps,hd games,utilities and many more.it consist every app that user need in daily life for educational,entertainment,business,or any purpose including social networking.



it also have plenty number of hd games



As we heard Nokia is major windows phone maker

this company have great history of success and satisfied customer fan group



Nokia really made great windows phone family named as lumia

just look Nokia provide hd camera to each windows phone 8 device

even low range lumia 520 have hd camera.



their flagship devices are stuning.

Nokia lumia 920 having pureview technology camera. which is best camera ever for low light photography even without flash.

and having best 3d and hd gaming performance

best battery backup ever



and mainly super sensitive touch(Now you can touch your phone even nail,gloves,pain)

some windows phone having clear black display which is best for outdoor visibiality



lifetime free offline navigation with Nokia maps without using cellular connection



branded carl zeiss lens for camera.



fastest browsing,internet using internet explorer 10

and many things



windows phone are like computer in our hand

***************************************…

android is worst,bad



and how can people said that the any operating system is best who having plenty apps.

i know android having plenty apps but how many apps you need any daily life.



few hd games,some social apps, and utilities and some security software that's it

are we child to play games

or tell me can you install all Google play android apps in your phone



and mainly android os is a COPY of Apple ios

few years ago android was developed

they just making copy of nokia and apple

android phones have not good battery at all

they need quad, octa processors,over 2gb ram for fast performance which is power eater

even our personal computer having less ram and processor and works great.



android is open source project by google

that means anyone can help for development of android

even virus malware maker can easily develope viruses for android

company have not full control at all

which is VERY UNSECURED





major android phone maker is samsung

this company makes people fool

look

galaxy s1,s2,s3,s4

galaxy note 1 ,note 2

what is different between this devices

just screen resolution,duel,quad,octa processor and ram



thats all no any major difference

just put duel core that means we made galaxy s2

put quad core processor,hd display we make galaxy s3

put octa core,full hd display we make s4



s2,s3,s4 having same features that of android jelly bean



plenty processor full hd display which is useless and battery eater

duel core+800*480 resolution is good and enough



android phones really suffered from battery problems they need to charge daily twice or for heavy users even thrice.



samsung nothing invent anything

they just copy nokia like in wireless charging

first saw in nokia lumia 920 then in galaxy s4

touch and type technology

first saw in nokia e6 and then in galaxy pro

their camera sucks



they have not provide good hardware as well as custmer service.

their phones cant go lifelong.
