Great mobile phones and intuitive OS, only the third party support dropped daily made them unviable.

Windows

Just turned on my Nokia windows mobile found in a cupboard so as to wipe it. Smooth slick operation with a great screen. Only gave it up as the app developers followed Microsoft’s lead ... and deserted it.

The agony factor of limbo ... you have your PAC code, you give it to the new operator and ... ‘maybe next Tuesday leave your phone off all day then turn it on’. Why are transfer times so long?

‘Check car tax on’ Google

Still useable

Still a good mobile OS without certain apps, such a shame they went with a myriad of cheap models instead of big shiny headliners sub £500.

Windows 10 transfer cost me a few weeks of laptop rebuild so it will be 2016 before i touch the mobile version.

Windows Phone won't ever succeed, says IDC

Munkstar

The irony being it's a far better experience than Android. Ivory tower executives who decided for Nokia not to go down the android route was a remarkable effort. However there's still time for Windows to develop as 10 will allow easier app development and it's the apps that are the only missing element of their mobile product. I own iPhone, android, Windows mobiles.

Munkstar

I am very happy with 8.1 on my Nokia 735 thanks. The iPad mini is almost back working correctly since its upgrade to 8. It could be argued the Android option of only the latest devices having the latest software 'works' .... untill your old apps become incompatible!

Apple design don Jony Ive: Build-your-own phone is BOLLOCKS

Munkstar

I still think the ability to put a new battery in a device (it's heart) is not a design compromise. Anything that needs a pallet knife, heater gun and suction cups to change a simple component is 'compromised design'.

HELP! Windows Phone update 8.1 broke my Lumia

Munkstar

I gave up on android after the Sony Xperia required multi reboots even after much rooting tooting. The replacement Lumia 735 ......... tempting fate if I say anything good ......... 'has' been fine. Meanwhile the rest of the families iphones ....... great customer satisfaction ish .... you go to the Apple Store with a 'it's gone mental' and walk out with a new one ...... Free my kids say ...... errr no I remind them, it's all in the top end price when you get it new. 1 replaced 3, 1 replaced 4, 1 replaced 4s, 1 replaced 5, 2 replaced 5s ...... I'm a regular customer.

Microsoft: Even cheapo Lumias to get slimmed down Windows 10

Munkstar

Windows mobile is a very good effort and works fine for me from Cortana text talk in the car to MixRadio music streaming, podcasts, MSN apps, lumia camera apps etc. if you haven't got one you don't know what your talking about ..... not that that appears to be an impediment here.

Was Nokia's Elop history's worst CEO?

Munkstar

I have had em all

As the owner of android, Apple and Windows phones I can state with minor authority .... I'm buying another Nokia. I only ever want to be paying £200 for a useful mobile (I have a good sim deal), the 735 is good enough even though I have no major need for the hyped selfie option. The main issue for the Windows phone is the lack of a comprehensive range of Apps, there are clearly some holes in my needs but that's a compromise I accept. The Apples are too expensive from entry level and the latest Android I have is an xperia L that deserves death by hammer. Frustrating would be kind. It's been rooted back to factory reset more than once (professionally) but this week is convinced there's no room for updates and most apps can stay hidden deep somewhere. Nokia as a business should of added Android as a choice, maybe that was not an option when taking on the Windows contract instead?

Google: Thanks for the billions in revenue, UK. Here are your taxes, that's ... £11m

Munkstar

Given the chance

As a PAYE muppet I can only look on with envy. When you see what successive governments do with your tax £, spending it yourself seems wise. As long as no Google employee is subsidised by the tax credits system there's less to moan about ....?
