I've got a Windows phone, and sometimes I feel like the gradual decay of its ecosystem is a blessing in disguise. Since app support is spotty, I'm relegated to sticking to the core features only (Edge, maps, music player, texting, camera, Office), which are good enough for most of my needs. (At least for however long until Edge falls behind the other browsers, or maps/traffic gets shuttered, or...) It's already distracting enough with a browser.. it'd be worse with more game support.. :)
- culot 8y agoThat's precisely the reason I stick with Windows Phone as well. Even with a flagship-level phone Windows Phone is super slow, so, on top of what you mention, it makes me not want to use it as much. Being so limited is rather freeing.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y ago> Even with a flagship-level phone Windows Phone is super slow This hasn't been my experience at all. I have the absolute bargain basement Lumia 640 as a backup phone and it feels positively snappy. Perhaps it's because I have barely anything running on there?
- culot 8y agoMy Lumia 640 actually feels snappier than my Lumia 950 in some ways. I dont understand that, its been the same with all of the Lumia 950s I've used. The 950 has a nice camera though, and that display is great reading books.
- LoveSubs 8y agoSuper slow?!?! The only feature WP has was super snappy on the cheapest one.
- kerrsclyde 8y agoI love my Windows phone, which I was given for free. Screen is great, camera is great, Sat-Nav is almost Google Maps standard, Spotify works. I can type emails on it when I really need to. Beyond that, all shiny new social apps don't work, so temptation eliminated. It seems an ideal half way house between proper smartphone and 2000's brick.
