I was talking with my MVP lead, because he had brought a Windows Phone to a meeting I had with him and some other MVP's. He was pretty open to some questions I asked about it, and the main thing was the apps. Otherwise, the way he described it to me, it made perfect sense. There are things about the iPhone that are better, and majorly, just the number of apps available, but there is quite a bit more features in my opinion on the Windows Phone which make it better, outside of just the apps and settings. I wish the durability of the Windows Phone gets up to par with the iPhone though... That would be my only stopper for getting one right away. The iPhone 5 is actually very very tough because of it's design.
I still have an old iPhone 3G though because it was given to me, I've been holding off on getting a new phone because I really don't care to be up with technology in the cellphones side of things unless there's something that hinders me against the newer products. (I know how it is (in terms of marketing), and especially for Apple's iPhone's...)
I think it's being seen by many though, not just myself, that this is a copy. I would like to know Why though. What in the world are they doing? Not that it's bad to change, but they had their own style, and changed over to a Modern Design look, and they are without a doubt going to get criticized for that. Is Apple feeling that Microsoft is going to be a threat? Apple has the iPad, and the iPhone. Microsoft is doing the right thing in my opinion and taking it further with what all you can do with these technologies, and my only guess would be that Apple see's them as a threat for innovative ideas they've been able to come up with, in the world Apple currently dominates.
lol! Why try to match Microsoft's style though. :lol: I tried to think hard about this one, but it was the only logical reason I could come up with.
This age in technology is looking to be the turning point for whatever the future will look like. I'm seeing change everywhere, and once the course is set, I am curious to see where the trend will take us.
@Corrine - Let us know how you like it. :) I'm getting ideas for a new phone currently. I don't know when I will build up the courage to get one, but ideas are always nice.
