Before starting on why a Windows phone let me first let know, Why a phone. I have been using LG Cookie for almost two years and last month the Resistive touch screen of my Cookie died (for the third time) making me do nothing other than upgrading.
2 years back when the world was just loading with Android junks, Cookie seemed a decent choice for 6k, because Android were costly. My Cookie is (was) a good looking phone, with a slide comes a Qwerty keypad, Decent 2MP camera, Opera browser, and the most importantly a MP3 player. This did the job back then! But, things are changed now. Phones with no 3G or Wi-Fi are called no phones. Apps plays a vital role. Phones are no more called phones, they are called Smartphones.
First mantra i had while browsing for phone was "Say no to Android!". Why? Because Android phones hangs a lot. It sucks battery like leach, it needs more power to perform better. It hangs a lot when you use it more than what its capable of rather just not saying "Sorry, this phone could not perform this". They are too impractical.
Okay, Android is stupid what about iOS? If you been following my posts or close to me, you will be knowing that i am a Great, Big, Huge Apple fanboy. So, if i ever had the chance to own an iPhone i would be very cool. (I will be glad even if i get that chance to use it in Univercell Live, Then why not in person :p ). But owning an iPhone is impractical too. Owning any thing as phone at this price point is just plain impractical.
Finally, why the Windows phone?
Had a demo of Lumia 510 and just bought it. To know why, you try the demo too...!!
(And of course the price tag being one good reason)
