[Q] LG Optimus 7 or Nokia Lumia 710

Hi all, I had made my mine up and was going to buy LG Optimus 7 for about €200 but now I think I should hang on and wait for the Nokia Lumia 710 (I guest it will be about 300). Guys and Girls what would you do in my position is Lumia 710 worth 100 euros more?

Well, If you use navigation Nokia's wins hands down. It also has a front facing camera which would eventually be used by Skype I hope. It also has a faster processor, which might mean it has a longer life, updates-wise. Deffo worth the extra 100.

HTC Radar vs Mozart

Hi all,
I wonder at buying a WP7 phone and have these two devices on mind. HTC Radar is twice as expensive as the second. But I saw the WP Bench benchmark that showed that Radar is about 35% more powerful, it scored above 80pts vs Mozart's 60pts. At this time it does not matter, but in few months for sure there will be more requiring games and applications which Mozart wolud not handle with. But this is only my opinion. Radar also has a larger battery that lasts I think a day longer without charging. I don't know what phones will be avaliable next year so I'm undecided whether I should buy Radar and use it longer or Mozart and wait for some newer phones.
Thanks for answering

If you don't want to wait for a newer phone (a.k.a one of the Nokia Lumia series), then the radar is a good choice. It is faster than the Mozart like you said and will open and run apps a bit faster. Radar does have better graphics (adreno 200 in Mozart vs adreno 205 in Radar). Mozart has 64mb more ram, but that isn't too much a difference.
However, if you like photography, I think the Mozart's camera may be a bit better with more megapixels (although doesn't necessarily mean better) and xenon flash. The xenon flash is better than the Radar's LED for low light shots.
I own the Radar, but never the Mozart. I personally really like the Radar; it looks fly!
Hope this helps.

I personally have the mozart and have been asking myself as well wihich phone to purchase,
I decided to go with the mozart since it has a higher camera rating and the xenon flash, not only that, for its price its one of the most affordable windows phone but not compromising the quality

[Q] Which Windows Phone should I get?

I am looking to get an unlocked Windows Phone, so I need a suggestion on which one and where.
Price - around $350 USD
Form Factor - full touchscreen 4" or less
Camera - I want good camera optics. MP does not matter, just quality
Nothing else really matters (internal storage). AMOLED is nice and a FFC would be cool but not necessary.
The HTC Radar seems to be in my price range. Is this a good option? Best place to buy?

I recommend the Samsung Omnia W (known as Samsung Focus Flash in the US).
It has a faster processor than the HTC Radar.

Don't get htc hd7

The problem is the price. Only available place I am seeing is ebay for $450 USD. For that price I would just spend the extra money and get the Lumia 800. The Focus Flash I am seeing for $300 but I am assuming they are going to be locked to ATT. Easy to get them unlocked?
I wouldn't mind the Focus Flash.

Well, in that case, you should buy the HTC Radar.
My friend has the Radar and she's happy with it.

I have the Samsung Omnia7 and am preaty happy with it.
Just today I managed to get wifi data tethering working. Which I think is a nice feature to have

I have the Trophy, and it works for me, its has no ffc, the glass isnt the most durable one i had in terms of scratch resistance, the battery lasts about two days with wifi and data connection on.. i think the teethering option might be unavailable to some updates tho, not sure on that one..

Thinking of changing my Lumia 800 to some newer windows phone , but I cannot see any other newer windows phone other than Lumia 900 and Titan II. Is there any other newer windows phone on the way? otherwise which one is better among Lumia 900 and Titan II?
cheers....

The Lumia 900 is to be honest a nice phone but lacks the charm of the slightly smaller 800 with its curved glass etc, Screen size is great @ 4.3" and displays as nicely as the 800, It is of course heavier and have noticed slight lag once in a while on main screens whilst scrolling, This never occured on the 800, I am awaiting a Titan 2 so if it turns up soon will update as to whether its as good as the lumia 900 or not, Both have FFC which I missed on the 800 and the Titan has a slightly larger screen @ 4.7" but SLCD compared to Lumias AMOLED, The 900 came pre-installed with Tango 8773 update but tbh haven't noticed much of a difference as yet, All it really boils down to is do you prefer the square sharp angular edges of the Lumia or rounded almost boring looking HTC which all look alike, Performance wise there probably wont be much difference.

Thanks and I'll also wait for Titan 2 as well. cheers...

I've upgraded at Phones4U and got free Lumia 900 black. good deal

[Q] Lumia 520 vs HTC desire 310/320

I have both of these lying around and was wondering which one is better in terms of processing power? i recently purchased a desire 520 ( which basically has the same specs as the 310 with 512mb ram) and i'm dissapointed in the camera qaulity. It's pretty horrific when compared to the nokia or even my old galaxy s1. The camera doesn't even have auto focus..
Please let me know which has the better processor so it can make my decision easier to pick one to use as my daily phone.
thanks

I think that the processing power is not as important as you think. The operating systems are completely different. The question is that which one do you prefer (WP or Android)? I'm using a Nokia 520 and I find it the perfect companion for my everyday needs. But the Store has less apps than the Google Play.

Personally...
I had the opportunity to use that two devices (Lumia 520 & Desire 310) an personally, I prefer the Lumia 520 and WP8.1 because they have better performance and are most stable... (Personally)
Sorry for my bad english! Happy New Year!

microsoft 950xl review .???

will anyone give me 950xl review????is it worth to buy or not??

I held this phone for 1-2 hours and that's what I'm gonna say:
It is beast. This is the first Lumia smartphone that I liked so much. OS itself (Windows 10 Mobile) has less bugs than on any other Lumia smartphones and it will get even better when Microsoft will release final version of Windows 10 Mobile. The phone's hardware is absolutely in top of the line and to be honest, unlike Android - Windows doesn't need that. Lumia runs on ecosystem where RAM management is amazing. Even budget Lumia smartphones runs smooth and 512MB RAM models can handle games like Asphalt 8 and other. I also tested camera and it is the best came on phone that I have ever seen. It has RGB flash and optical image stabilization as well.
Conclusion: Phone is great. Software is user-friendly and it's getting better and better on every update. I would definitely recommend this phone. But it has one flaw: material used for body is polycarbonate.

but i think price range is very high in my opinion...what do you say??
