While Apple continues to stranglehold its customers by refusing to allow even so much as an mSD expansion port, manufacturers using Android can offer a raft of advanced features and future expansion at relatively low cost.
Long live Android! You bought the wrong phone. The 8S is the weakest performer in the entire Windows Phone lineup. Try a Nokia Lumia if you want to experience this OS the way it was meant to be.
My first disapointment: I wanted to take some photos, put them in a zip archive and upload them to FTP. No way to do that. My second: I want to be able to change the default keyboard. The problem you describe may not be possible now due to a lack of a developer solution , but it is not an inherent limitation in the platform. Sure, it has a new basis and it is a better platform for the future.
Well, except hopefully updates for a longer period. Nice, if we had kids. Not so great. The only interesting new features for me were: the extra tile size now also supported on WP7 , OTA updates, and a newer Internet Explorer. Mildly useful is the SD card support, because at the very least I can store some data elsewhere.
I has a unique paradigm that is something inbeetween, that should better be called power feature phone or experience phone. They should show they have something new, not an also ran competitor to IOS and Android. Smartphone is a device that user can adopt to ones needs including fixing inherent deficiencies without many limits. There are many people that would take thoughtfull, cohesive and secure experience over adaptability.
Cheap and sturdy WP devices should get most attention. Switching kernels is a once in a lifetime thing. There is no reason for anyone who is even a little informed about this OS to think the same kind of thing would happen again.
As a former WP 7. Microsoft is not the first company to ever have to make a difficult decision to move their OS forward and leave some things behind. That should be more than enough as very few people keep their phones beyond 2 years when they are eligible for an upgrade anyway. In any case. Being just as crappy, or crappier, than your competitors is a very very very poor value proposition.
Windows Mobile and Windows Phone use the same kernel albeit a later revision of it, but it was still CE. We can get into all sorts of pedantic definitions of what a kernel is or constitutes.
But from the points of view of the end user and developer, Microsoft has released 3 different somewhat incompatible phone OSs in less than 4 years. Not really. The OS kernel is pretty well defined in the world of OS development. The kernel is the underlying component that coordinates the rest of the OS.
They have iterated on the kernel version, yes, but then so does every OS release. At the end of the day, Windows CE had a good run. It went through countless revisions — I remember using it on devices when it looked like a cut down version of Windows 98 and they were still creating versions of that OS till recently, as a bunch of ARM based cheapo netbooks used it, plus a lot of industrial use handhelds that we used to use in the sector I was employed in at the time.
That went from the original through around 4 or 5 major revisions, including phone use. Then we got the Windows Phone 7 etc. Windows Phone has switched to Windows CE 6. They re-architected the kernel to allow it to have more than 32 processes to up to 32k processes , 2GB of virtual memory per process and moved a lot of critical services in to kernel space but then they did that to NT between NT 3. Do you have a source? Stuff like that is fascinating. From the announcement of no upgrade from 7 to 8 on old phones I think it was pretty clear that 7.
I do remember that when WP 7 launched Microsoft promised at least 2 big updates. That was back then part of there argumentation. Windows Phone is supported and receives updates for a long time to come unlike Android. Mango was huge and very much needed but that was it. What stays from that promise is that Windows Phone is not different from Android excluding Nexus and CyanogenMod when it comes to updates.
What I blame them for is that central marketing message for Windows Phone was very different from how it played out. If they do not want or can not keep such promises then just not promise. Following Mango users received something like four small updates with various improvements. One of them included a 4G LTE stack for capable devices, no small feat.
We had bought this being told thai language support was on the way but it never happened until 7. Now, it was necessary for Microsoft to move to the NT kernel, no one can deny that. It was NOT necessary for them to give people who had older phones a concession prize in the form of 7.
What happened to not looking a gift horse in the mouth? Most people buy a new one every 2 years anyway and even when you do get a MAJOR update, it usually slows the phone down and causes problems. OK, with that out of the way, this review is just misguided and ill informed. Microsoft never promised anything more than what they delivered. Furthermore you say developers will have to make two versions of their apps, that is nonsense. A single version which will run on both 7. Most existing apps already run on both versions of the OS.
In another year or so the only people even using 7. Be grateful you got 7. You buy the phone as-is, no informed consumer should ever buy something like a smartphone and just assume there will be endless OS updates and that it will run a major rewrite of the OS. That is absurd. So use 7. Anyway, the Lumia was released in Q4 but was available in many countries in Q1 And the Lumia became available in Q2 Both phones where marketed as flagship phones and where quite expensive.
And then, only months later the platform was essentially abandoned. Most people buy a new one every 2 years anyway […] and its not reasonable to ask progress to be held back to keep people on year old phones happy […] do what everyone else does and buy a new device.
My biggest complain is about IE 10 not being included but I still hope Nokia, which is meant to release a W7. Of course, you have to accept the fact that W7. That was plain wrong, of course. However, W7. New homescreen is wonderful and I would have upgraded to 7. However, WP 7. While 7. As a developer, I would still developt for both 7. Then, if W8 sells well like I hope and I forecast , of course 7.
The version bump from 7. This is nothing that would have taken months to create. I honestly have no idea why this was released in the first place.
