Ilgas postas sory, bet .... buvo kažkada "101 Reasons Not to Buy a Windows Phone" čia dalis atsakymų :) su humoru:
4. No micro-SD card support.
Not true even the 1st Gen Samsung Focus takes up to a 32
Gb card and Windows Phone 8 will let the manufacture decide if they want to use micro-SD card support or not .
8. Your contact details are automatically uploaded to cloud service whether you like it or not.
By cloud service he means your Windows Live account and it's great when you change phones.
9. Limited to 800x480 resolution.
Getting fixed with WP8
10. No
wi-fi hotspot.
Not True that Nokia Lumia 900 is a wifi hotspot with all the Lumias to follow. So this is manufacturer choice not a limit of the OS itself same could be said about Android,
Symbian, Bada, MeeGo, iOS, Tizan, BB10, etc...
11. Cannot use any
MP3 file as ringtone except those with strict constraints.
Not true there are many 3rd party apps that fix this.
14. Cannot sync directly with Outlook without syncing to Cloud
Not like those other
email servers that don't use the internet at all to get your
email. WHAT? This one is just confusing. Does he mean it when you delete an
email on your phone it does it also on your computer?
19. No centralized notification page.
Expect for the lock and your tile page
21. The idle screen is completely blank and cannot display time or notifications.
Not true when you get a text message it gets pushed to the lock screen
27. Cannot silence ringtone or alarm by flipping the phone.
Not true you can on the Nokia Lumia 610 and it coming to the other Nokia phones as well. This is manufacturer choice not a limit of the OS itself
29. Cannot be upgraded to WP8 (Apollo)
Not true Nokia's US president just stated that Lumia would be getting "Major update" coming soon. Which is WP8.
USABILITY ISSUES
30. No always visible status bar for battery life, signal strength, carrier, 2G/
3G wi-fi,
Bluetooth on.
Hmmm...the phone tile shows if you have signal and all you have to do is tap the top of the screen for battery life.
31. Taskmanager has no option to shut down apps you dont want running in the background.
There is an option for this Go into settings, pick applications, than background tasks! TaDa!
33. Lockscreen need to be activated to show missed call/
sms notification.
Not true if phone is "sleeping" notifications will pop up also if you are using the phone.
34. No way to close an app except pressing back button all the way to the first screen.
Not True....if you push the Home button, the back button, the search button, or the lock button the program closes, and saves a it's spot for next use. So pretty much ANY BUTTON will close a program.
35. Tiny fonts in messages is very hard to read for those over 45.
Really? By tiny font you mean a full text message can take up to half the real estate on my screen? How much bigger do you want it?
39. Cannot close music player, can only pause. Music player on lockscreen will stay until you
reboot. Be careful not to touch it in a meeting.
Unless of course you download a free app that does this oddly enough it's called "Stop the music"
40. No draggable progress bar for current track playing and no indication which track in an album is currently playing...
What? It tells you what song is playing on the lock screen and the music player itself! As for no draggable progress bar if you hold down on the skip track button it does the same thing.
41. Cannot lock screen orientation.
Umm..yeah so only apps work in landscape mode so no need to lock the screen.
42. Online and phone contacts are mixed together with no ability to filter.
Not true try using the options menu. You can have just your contacts, your contacts and Windows Live contacts, Your contacts, Windows Live contacts and Facebook...you get the point.
43. Cumbersome dialing with no smartdial. Not able to enter alphabets into dialer for name lookup.
Not true...Rap dialer free app does exactly that!
44. Cannot save draft
sms messages.
Unless you don't send the text than it saves it Automatically for you.
46. Cannot recognize phone numbers in
sms or
email to save or use as calling number.
Unless of course you edit your contacts to do this.
47. Text messages can only be deleted one by one or the whole thread.
How else would you do it?
50. Apps are listed alphabetically with no way to group by category. Can be hard to find if you dont remember the name.
Windows Phone 8 has folders coming also..Plus you can
pin whatever you want to your start screen.
51. Calendar scheduler has no weekly view and monthly view is non-zoomable.
No monthly view unless of course you hit the icon that looks like a calendar. (That one is tough to figure out I know)
52. No peak time/off-peak time scheduling for
email downloads to prevent unnecessary
email downloads at overnight.
So this is an issue how? My Windows Phone will let me know I have an
email when someone sends it to me? Such a horrible feature!
53. If both
wi-fi and data connection are available which one it chooses to use is unpredictable. User experiences dont agree with Microsoft that it "typically" choose
wi-fi over
3G.
Not True you can shut off either one at any time therefore you can pick which one to use.
FEATURE LIMITATIONS
54. No
video call.
Hello.....
Skype?
62. No auto wallpaper changer and no app to do it.
Again of course unless you want it to and download the free app that does it.
65. FM radio doesnt work on speaker.
Because you can't get any radio stations on I heart Radio right?
66. IE browser has no text reflow, no download capability and no offline reading.
Right unless it's the last page you read on the internet and you push the back arrow and choose that tile. So it pretty much does do it.
68. No built-in pdf file reader, need a separate app.
The Horror!! I have to download a free app!
72. No native Google maps and Bing maps is useless for most countries outside U.S.
Not true...There is Nokia Drive, Nokia Maps, HTC
GPS, ATT's
GPS, etc....
73.
Email time stamp does not show the year.
Really? Now we are just reaching
74. Wide difference in apps availability in different markets and users locked to one market??
So those apps that will tell what the weather will be in India I can't get here stateside? There will ALWAYS be apps tailored to specific market.
Symbian has a TON of them.
DUMB AND DUMBER
77.
Wi-fi disconnects when screen sleeps. Too bad if you are in the middle of a download.
Ahh...phone continues download on wifi when it goes to sleep.
79. Can only enter one mobile phone no. for each contact. Mobile nos. entered in other fields will not accept
sms.
So all those people you know with 13 cell phone numbers are out of luck!!
80. Cannot send/receive
MMS without enabling
3G data connection.
MMS does not use
3G data.
This one is just confusing...I can't send
MMS without enabling data connection so it clearly uses it to get the
MMS (how else would you get it?) but it doesn't use the
MMS data contection?
81. Phone cannot be charged when off.
True but who cares?
82. Need to be plugged in to wall charger to sync wirelessly.
Again True but who cares? (This list was made to compare to
Symbian and
Symbian doesn't sync wirelessly at all.)
83. Oversized fonts for headings with cut off words treat you like an idiot
Umm...IT'S A HUB!! the screen you can see is one out of many.
84. Phone will wake up and display
sms content on lockscreen when locked - a privacy violation.
Hold up lets go back to number 21. " The idle screen is completely blank and cannot display time or notifications." You can't tell me that it doesn't do it than complain that it does!!
85. Phone can be rebooted without entering security code.
Unless of course you want it to and choose that in the options screen.
FEATURES EVEN DUMB PHONES HAVE BUT WP7.5 DOESNT
86. No
bluetooth file transfer.
Tango update fixes this.
92. Call history does not group calls by contact.
Unless of course you make a group in tile on the homescreen than it does it all day long.
93. Call history does not show the time of call for calls older than current day.
What? It does this I just checked.
94. Cannot set custom sounds for different types of notifications.
Again What? I have a different sound for calls, texts, emails, a special ring tone for my wife, for my one friend, etc...
96. No silent option (no vibrate and no ring) from ringer menu. Need a trip to settings and another trip to revert.
Half true touch the volume button and than push the button that pops up to do just that on your screen. So you don't have to go into the ringer menu it can be done from ANYWHERE on your phone at ANYTIME. Super inconvenient right?
99. Cannot save contact to SIM card.
Because it saves to your Windows Live acct automatically ...remember your own rant about it in number 8?
As you can see Windows Phone does a TON of things that the original post claims it does not do. Again these were just things I know off the top of my head. If I can rebuke almost of half these claims without ANY RESEARCH AT ALL how do you think the other half of the claims hold up?
It is true that Windows Phone doesn't do everything that
Symbian does...but it's a young OS and with Nokia on board now I have a feeling that Windows Phone 8 will address many of the outstanding issues.
Didelis ačiū, daug sužinojau naujo ir supratau kad palauksiu WP8. :)
