Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

Video not getting save isn't a big deal. In fact most of the videos we get from friends are trivial, and no one needs to download them to waste phone's memory.

There is much more to a phone than videos on whatsapp. Primarily a phone has to be intuitive- the possibilities on my mind should appear on screen as closely as possible. I found Lumia to be less intuitive than android phones and I guess the former would need more time to get the hang of.

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

@SB since you are not a business user yet, so please do not conclude what is light and intensive.

i have not concluded anything, some say they dont need all the functions android provides,lumia does what general smartphones do. i call the fb ,email ,office doc users light users.
they are not much multimedia centric users.

what is wrong in this definition?

Phones are not just made for WhatsApp or games

right. i know that, tell me what else lumia can do ,which the android cannot.

First you tell us what " intensive things " you do on your android which you have been saying so far .

Lumia can do every thing lag free except the things which are just for fun and time pass, you still need to understand the business usage of a smart phone and yes it takes time for you to understand as you are still a student

sadly i do not experience that lag you so much emphasize on.

it has got something to do with the hardware of the phone me thinks.

FYI in my phase as a student i still have to edit,access and read documents, pdfs, ppts etc.

been there, done that without that lag

Praveen ,

at times we sometimes confuse intuitive with familiarity .

iPhone and iOS in general is termed as most intuitive and user friendly os , but if you give the iPhone to someone who has never used a smart phone he will get damn confused in knowing just how to " go back " since iOS has no button or feature at times within a app or in the os .

Android comes in so many flavours that accessing the multitasking menu differs from phone to phone . But any android user will get hang of it not because its intuitive in nature but because they are familiar with the operating system . A new person exploring android will find it confusing and less intuitive .

Windows os or any os will be initutive or confusing depends from where you are coming , since windows phone user interface is completely different then what we have seen in the market so far its bound to confuse in the start .

For example to see notifications one has to pull the drawer in android , in windows you don't have too the live tiles dynamically give you live updates and notifications .

A new user coming to android from windows will find android completely confusing . And 1 coming from android will just dont know were to check notifications or use hot buttons .



Its like having the difference in stalks placements in American and japnese cars .

Moment you sit in a ford you activate vipers instead of turn indicators . The point is it feels less initutive but in reality it is just that you are not familiar with that style if you come and sit after using maruti or any car with different placement of stalks for years .

Drive the ford for a year and after that when you sit in a maruti the operation of stalks in maruti will feel less initutive

Our intuition says look at right while crossing the road in India . but in USA our intuition gets wrong there you need to see at left and in the beginning we do get confused and need to get hang of it .

Possibilities in your mind are also most of the times co- related to the amount of exposure our mind has got with repetetion .

^^ intensive, versatile,advanced, call it what you please.

But you need to define what intensive , versatile things you have been doing , since you claimed that lumia is for light users .

We need to know what intensive things are we missing using a lumia , if its really of great magnitude I won't mind switching to android .

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

There is no such problem at all. I use my mobile data connection to get connected on my laptop always and it works excellent. In fact after buying this mobile I have discontinued using Tata photon while travelling.

Extremely happy to hear this. May be due to my ignorance I wasnt able to connect internet on desktop through mobile. Kindly share the procedure to connect.

Praveen ,

If you assumed that I am using android then you got it wrong in first place. I am using blackberry, so my experience with android and lumia as well is very limited and without any biases.
Not saying that Lumia is inferior to others in any way, but just that lumia will take some time to get use to.

No brother , I dint assume that you are using android .

I just gave you a example so i mentioned ios also .

Well prefrences can be different and choice too.

Blackberry is highly efficient OS ,but for me it is the most complicated and less intutive OS but my brother who uses it finds all other OS extremely complicated compared to Blackberry.

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

Nokia sells a record 7.4 million Lumia smartphones in Q2




Nokia’s smartphone portfolio consists now of just Windows Phone, aka Lumia. The Symbian segment is negligible now and the Asha isn’t considered as a smartphone. The upward trend for Nokia Lumia continues upwards, bolstered by highly praised entry level handsets such as the 520/620.

You could say that BB is still ramping up. Out of their last quarter sales, just 2.7M were BBOS.

Expectations for Q3 from our readers estimates between 8-8.5M, 10M for Q4 2013. There’s one more major announcement for Nokia Lumia (possibly?) which may not be available early enough to impact Q4, but the likes of the 1020 should definitely gain some worldwide attention as the first mass market 41MP camera (808 unfortunately did not get the same availability or awareness given Nokia’s shift to WP). Hopefully that does create the expected ‘halo effect’ onto the rest of Nokia’s portfolio. Early indications seem positive.

The fight between BB and WP/Lumia is even more interesting because they’re currently fighting for third place. In sales, with the ‘assistance’ of the other OEMs, the WP numbers to rise ever so slightly more so compared to BB.

Fingers crossed an October announcement from MS gives a good surprise for WP users. Or at least give us some form of a worthy update this year.

Stephen Elop noted:

In our Smart Devices business unit, we continue to focus on delivering meaningful differentiation to consumers around the world. We are very proud of the recent creations by our Lumia team, from the Lumia 520 – our most affordable Windows Phone 8 product which has enjoyed a strong start in markets like China, France, India, Thailand, the UK, the US and Vietnam – to the Lumia 1020, our star imaging product which we unveiled to the world last week. Overall, Lumia volumes grew to 7.4 million in the second quarter, the highest for any quarter so far and showing increasing momentum for the ecosystem. During the third quarter, we expect that our new Lumia products will drive a significant part of our Smart Devices revenue.

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

i asked a friend who friend who owns a lumia about the lag thingy and his views

his reply

buying a nokia lumia phones for no lag is like buying a VW Polo TSI over a Merc C Class because the gear changes are less jerky.
it's just plain and simple nuts.

PS : no offence meant to VW or merc
