i have a windows phone and i'm loving it the same way as android,
its better than iphone and its super sleek and fast,
but android is better than WP in some ways but based on the devices that i have the WP is faster
I can't get over the fact that Windows Phone is based on those fairly large boxes, so I'd stick with Android.
Have to say for using as a stock device WP7 is much sleeker and smoother.
But for lack of applications and mods in WPA7, I would pick my HTC Incredible S over my Nokia Lumia 800 any day of the of the week

If you go for a windows phone get wp8 as wp7 phones can't be upgraded to wp8 and so you won't be able to use certain features and apps on the wp7 models.

Wait for wp8 and then you can decide about to buy one of this.

I wouldn't waste my money on WP7 right now when WP8 is right around the corner (October-December). If you can't wait that long, get an Android device and make sure it's one that won't get screwed over when a major update like Jelly Bean comes around.
Windows Phone is a pretty nice OS to play with though. I have the Lumia 800 and 900 and love them both. However, the lack of customization options is a big turn off for me. Customization is a major reason why I'm beginning to love Android over my iPhone. Windows Phone app numbers are a minor problem for me. Most of the apps I need on a regular basis are available there. Everything else is just for fun and there are alternatives in Windows Phone marketplace. I have over 20 apps on my WP7 devices.
dude... windows sucks.
their pc sucks, their phones suck, everything about windows screams "we only care about money!!!" and they dont even give u good stuff for it.
but if u even need to ask this question, then either u dont own an android, or u do, and u simply have no idea of the incredible peice of technology you have in your hands and the unlimited possibilities that are at ur finger tips...
but hey, thats just my two cents..
Android and Linux to the end!!
No , just no . Android phones are simply better stick with it
I will stick to android itself thank you ppl

Let's be objective...
Hi,
I have to say that I love android for so many reasons such as the freedom it gives you in terms of customization... Nevertheless I had a chance to try a Lumia 710 and I was impressed by the responsiveness of the phone. In my opinion it depends a lot on what kind of user you are...whether you like to mod your phone or simply use it.....
Little green guy all the way. He easily smashes windows for fun and slices and eats apples for dessert. Make the right choice.

HTC One x is hot... But beauty fades off, Performance stays... S3 ...
U might find it hard to believe but our galaxy sl is a handsome device.compare with others if u don't believe.
That samsung sucks in its firmwares is an entirely different issue.

Galaxy S3 (feels well.. like nature.. lol) -> Nexus (only screen is visible, no buttons.. minimalistic beautiful design!)-> Htc One X (Soft mechanical kind of look) -> Galaxy SL (love the backcover).
I'm a hardcore android fan&I really don't like apple. But the iPhone 5 is really like a piece of artwork. It seems like the Rolls-Royce in the world of Toyota&Honda(androids) .It will be better if any of the android manufacturers try to release a piece like that one which seems goods to the eyes&has power.
The Sammy people is going with their cheap plastic.:banghead: HTC & Sony releases good looking devices.
I love the lumia 900 and it will be nice if Nokia enters the android world

U Mad? I'd rather get cheap plastic that can turn into actual metal, than alloy with no removable back and no SD Card.

I think the S3 looks like a cheap Chinese phone. That silver lining is so 2005.
I think the Razr M and One X are pieces of art.

Do you think Windows Mango and Tango are serious or something?
I think a BEAUTIFUL phone doesn't have to be made with gold or work perfectly, it just has to look good. For me, the most beautiful android phone is the Galaxy s2.

HTC One X? That phone is a piece of art. Soft touch coating mixed with the unibody shell is so beautiful and actually lovable. Although i would never take it for myself (Removable battery). As for professional phones, I think Galaxy S2 was a pretty professional phone.

There are also windows XP "professional edition" in addition to windows 7 .... not like ice-cream or JB and other silly names !
Look to the colors "Baby-blue" is that professional? Look to MSGs & People icons....
Im sure that anybody busy in his life and/or practical one he would never evet buy such phones ... because simply he hasn't enough time to waste & staying the rest of his life beside charger !
You know what..am still having Nokia phone (E series) for my phone calls i just use it because i don't rely on this ...

What is the reason ? Why android has not such kind of amazing apps like IOS ??
Is anyone has the answer for this question?

Lemme guess, youre a former idevice user? Maybe we don't have these "wonderful" apps (which probably only you care about on android) is because there are multiple phones which are different which apps must work on, compared to the 3 that iPhone devs work on. Its also called the app developers chose only for it to be on iPhones or iPads, or iPods so don't blame us. Please, do not complain. Complain elsewhere. Not here.

I had an iPhone before my gs3. I do say the only reason battery life is different is because of the screens and hardware. and the apps are as I said, harder to develop.

My friend has samsung galaxy mini and i read on xda that mini is getting an update of android4.4 kitkat.phone ram screen internal memory etc... Mostly all feature compare to ds are much lower including price. Still getting an updates. I think htc company is just interested in selling phone one time no updates nothing. Probably next time i wont go for htc may be ds is outdated have now time to change if no updates?

Where did you read that? Are you sure it wasn't about galaxy s4 mini / s3 mini or something? I'm fairly sure that the galaxy mini isn't getting any updates past gingerbread.

I know very little of sansumgs
all i know is that because we all here
seem to be born different,
most of us, 'd rather rely on a fellow dev,
than on a manufacturer who sold you the phone...
so, when there is an update and your device meets
the requirements to run it,
you'll surely find it here,
sooner or later..
As for HTC...it is a smartphone manufacturer,
not a software company,..
their main occupation is: selling phones,
not supporting operating systems running on them...

in the first place, how do you know that kitkat requires lesser ram and cpu usage? did Google said that? no, they didn't. unless you have a magic ball and predicted the future. otherwise give some prove that android 4.4 requires lesser ram and cpu usage

I'm highly doubtful that the Galaxy Mini will be receiving KitKat. If KitKat does have support for devices with low specs then OEMs will probably just release cheaper phones that run it out of the box, rather than spending money on developing updates for outdated phones.
As for whether you should upgrade or not, I think so. I had a DS for two years and bought a discounted Nexus 4 two weeks ago. Definitely worth buying one, and you can be sure that it will be receiving the update to KitKat.
Its official announced by samsung and not by an dev. So i think m 100% correct read the details provided in link.

Samsung hasn't announced the Galaxy Mini getting Kit Kat being official.
Knowing Samsung, your friend won't get 4.4 on Galaxy Mini. It's too old device, even if 4.4 is made to be working with low RAM devices, Galaxy Mini won't get the update.
Why? Because Samsung wants you to upgrade your device (all OEMs do).
If i can afford it by samsung my girls has samsung and a lovit

So the blaze is now over 2 years old... we've seen a lot of our xda brothers that once contributed and were active users leave the blaze threads, only few remain and things have really slowed down here, these threads just aren't as live and booming as they used to be, well I've been eligible for an upgrade for a while now, so anyone have any suggestions?

well i will say go for nexus devices...peferably nexus 5...always first to get updates and great at hardware part too...u get pure android experience along with lots of options as the sources are always out there and nothing like touchwiz or sense messing up the developement...the developement is most active in those devices and sources are always there taken directly from google repos
Well, I'm moving soon and I need a different phone since I don't have 4g over there. Im looking at the lg g2, since it has one of the best batteries and its not too big. It's LG's flagship and I like the knock on feature!

I'd recommend getting the Nexus 5. As I am a fan of AOSP it's outstanding. Performance is great, haven't had any trouble with any lags (well exaggerating much lol) and it just feels right for me. 2.26 GHz is just amazing. Unlike the Blaze it has 16 GB of memory which is great for having the big applications. 8MP camera could be better, but it's still outstanding.
When I was ready for upgrade it was between nexus 5 and moto x. I chose moto x and have had no issues. CM11 and other ROMs are being developed

OR you can wait for Project Ara to come out early next year! For sure getting it!
Thanks to those who have given me suggestions originally I was thinking something mainstream and well known like a flagship phone like the S5 or something like that but is their price tag really worth it or is there a better not as well known phone? Kinda like how the blaze basically was a smaller S2? I mean I'm looking for a Samsung, LG, or Motorola? Price isn't a problem I just want long lasting battery life, performance, 4G / LTE, A Good Camera and A Reasonable Storage Space? Any new suggestions?

well if price aint a problem then s5 is definitely what ya looking for...awsome battery life.. u can easily get 15 hours video playback..or u can get htc one(m8) which is a tad bit heavier coz of its metal casing...but what i dont like about them phones is that they are laden with so much crap that we dont ever use...and s5 is big on fitness stuff...and yes moto g is for you if ya looking for smaller screen(4.5 inch...bigger than blaze) but still easy to use with one hand...good specs..actually better specs than phones almost about twice the price...good battery life(9-10 hour video playback) and internal storage is optional for 8gb or 16 gb..
I tried the moto g, well I owned one for a short period of time... I got grounded for some bs so I went into target and bought one of those prepaid phones to use as a WiFi phone I absolutely loved it but I returned it when I got ungrounded anyways I decided to wait for the nexus 6 but I'll probably buy a nexus 5 sometime this week to use in the meantime

Xperia z is a nice alternative to the n5, the only problem I find is that it lacks the stock recovery.
Z1 is the later version, might like that.
