Android or Iphone?

I like my android. I swap music and photos out a lot, and android places fewer barriers to that. Most of the photos I take are work related, so saving them in the cloud is not a solution (client confidentiality).

Windows 10 Mobile. I love the full compatibility with my desktop PC without needing to install additional bloatware (like the Apple stuff), it's easy to use and pretty intuitive, at least in my opinion.

However, there's ofcourse a HUGE con: and that is that the userbase keeps dwindling more and more, and no new (useful/official) apps are released for some time now, apparently in some ways due to Microsoft (besides 'consumers') more or less abandoning it, and not much new devices being released using the platform.

Another con is that the batterylife of Windows phones isn't great, though that may be because of other issues than the OS.

So in the end, when I need to get a new Phone, it will likely be and Android, since in my opinion it comes next in useability. I have tried to work with an Iphone not that long ago, but they don't really attune to my taste.

Google is turning too scummy, cult-like and CIA-esque, so I would move to iPhone if I didn't have a better choice. But I have and that's windows phone!

I've known that Google is Satan from the start.
(I mean, c'mon, an organization that has "Don't be Evil" as motto?  Read your Orwell, people.)
You are not Google's customers.
IT services are not Google's product.
Google's product is an uneven playing field.
And you? You are Soylent Green, ye fool sheep.

iPhone? Since Steven died, I think it seems Apple is more concerned about their shareholders than their products and customers. That will never end well for Apples' shareholders either.
Apple without Steven Jobs is an experiment that have been made already, earlier.

I use a MS Windows phone. Always have, and hope to be able to continue.
The only problem is that 'local' apps, as provided by smaller organizations, are often only available for iPhone and Android. I can live with that.

I bet this cell phone can not be destroyed.

Apple have been playing catch-up with all of their actually good features (which were all done on Android devices first...) for years and their only features that are "innovative" are fucking stupid and just make it more difficult to actually use the device. Steve Jobs left his legacy... Idiots will continue to buy shit because it has the Apple logo on it. "Apple is the best! You're not the best unless you have Apple!"

poll is missing the windows phone category /

I used to have spamdroid and crapple phones, they looked good and sort of worked but the apps I needed would only work if there was an internet connection, I went back to nokia phones because they had always just worked (had nokia smart phone back in 1999) the only problem with windows phones I have found was with the Lumia 1020 (it was buggy as all hell until they rolled out the update the crippled the camera from 42mp down to 16mp) however I have found a huge problem with certain apps like the facebook Instagram and WhatsApp apps, they seem to be eating battery power all the time, simple solution uninstall them.... quite why those apps need to snoop on everything you do on the phone is beyond me but hey ho, getting rid of them was mildly annoying for my kids but for me it was a no brainer, the facebook app is the biggest one since it literally watches everything even to the point of activating the camera and microphone the entire time there is internet available ...

when my 930 needed replacing I got the 650 and the kids all got 435's and then 550's I was going to get the 950 as well when it released but all the bug reports made me wary especially given its price ..... now the only new windows phones around seem to be junk and for some reason Microsoft has taken a step back from the phone market.... sure they missed a trick with the windows phones though, teaming up exclusively with nokia and dropping the various oem's was a bad move they should have pushed for more oem phones (the htc8x was a fantastic phone) hopefully their new deal with a certain Chinese phone company will pay off and new windows phones will hit the market, but I doubt it...

I was tempted to get the galaxy s7 edge when it was announced you could bootstrap windows phone OS into it but glad I didn't since it became apparent that the phones were bricked by windows update....

now I'm just hoping that a new windows phone will come out that's built as well as the 550/650 for a similar cheap price before my phone bites the dust, if not I'll have to reconsider getting a spamdroid (which to be totally honest I hate because as soon as you buy it you get one maybe two OS refreshes and then its EOL my windows phone seems to get updated at least every month, sure I've gained new phones over the years but mostly just because they were free handset upgrades when I renewed the contract) but if I do I wont be wasting money on getting premium handset that's basically trash after 12>18 months (or two handset refreshes whichever comes sooner) /

Neither. I have a windows phone and I intend to use it to its last breath. After that? Who knows.



Yes you can but in doing so you unravel the space-time-continuum and destroy the universe.

It's surprising to see so many Windows users here in this topic! At we're not dead yet 😎

Still rocking Lumia 1020. Although now I broke its screen AT LAST. I have dropped it straight to asphalt from 2 meters and... nothing. Then one day it slips from my hands and flies ~3 meters, hitting metal bar glass facing forward.

I've taped the glass but it feels awful to swipe it. New glass+display 99€, installed 175€. Can get crappy android spyware phone with that price, but I dont want to! This WP8.1 has been working so. much. better. than my android did ever. No waiting, no cursing of audio playback killed suddenly from background. It just works.

I've been looking for android without google if it would work better, but the bad thing is, where to get software then? Warez? Ugh...

I've used both and have no strong preference. I currently have an iPhone 6, but that's only because I don't want to pay for texting my friends and family. You could replace it with any relatively recent Android phone and I honestly wouldn't care.
