- MichaelGG 10y agoYep. I have them a shot. Bought two Lumias, including the flagship with the "nice" camera[1]. My wife, who isn't a power user, found it totally inadequate. Other users I know that really wanted to get into it also gave up. MS wasn't just late, they just bungled everything related to running the platform. Which is a shame because the Metro UI is really neat on phones. 1: Camera was able to take nice pics but so slow to actually fire that it turned it to be nearly useless.
- FussyZeus 10y agoI had the Lumia Icon and bought the induction charger (another $50) and it worked alright, except if the phone wasn't aligned perfectly it got frighteningly hot. Microsoft quality I suppose.
- JamesBarney 10y agoPrevious windows phone user. I loved the OS, I had a $40 brand new windows phone and I never once ran into any performance problems. Now with a considerably more expensive galaxy s5 I miss the responsiveness of my windows phone. But I sure as heck don't miss that app store. So much crap and so little quality.
- FussyZeus 10y agoThe wife and I both had one, I moved to an iPhone (iOS developer, perk from work, woo!) and she's still on the Lumia she had. She's switching as soon as her upgrade is ready. She actually doesn't mind the Store being so lacking (though it's not a selling point for her) but her phone is pure garbage. The thing loses charge inside of 11 hours, after the last software update the camera is crap, and her speaker has gotten progressively quieter over the year and a half or so she's had the thing, which is a problem because she doesn't have great hearing.
