Thread: Phone upgrade time, need advice.

I wouldn't say no one, but yeah they certainly have less developers making apps for it. I mainly use my phone to call and text. Nokia has great apps and Tapatalk is available. What else do you need.

Has the benefit of not getting a gazillion results that is mostly made up of crap as well =p. I've not really ran into too many issues with finding apps I want, can only think of one (bblearn for my school). Here Maps is awesome as well, get airport maps, mall maps, road maps, and forest service maps in one app.


I will add though, if you have to look something up by name, Here Maps is god awful, most of the time it seems I get everything but what I want.

Helped some of my IT coworkers do some user testing for the Windows 8 phones my university supports at my last job. My coworkers that owned windows phones liked them a lot. The only real complaints I've every actually heard is that the developer community is a bit smaller than Android and iOS so they don't have as many apps. My buddy is the Microsoft student rep for NAU and they are always sending him free codes, games, xboxes, and tablets to try and build a student app development community. He hasn't gotten a ton of interest from the developer community, but he got some. The android developer community is just huge though, it's hard to compete with.

Can he get someone to make the NAU app (or bblearn or whatever) for WP8 then? =p bblearn is total shit on a phone without an app (it might be with one for all I know though).

hehe, I wish. bblearn is awful, and half my professors don't even know how to use it.

So in comparing the GS5 and HTC1(M8) they are virtually identical in specs. Is there anything other than design and personal preference that would set the apart?

Materials used. One is plastic, and one is aluminium. The interface is different, as well. I had a GS2 (which I hated), and have an M7, and while a little different (HTC Sense and Samsung Whatever), they are pretty much the same thing.

Otherwise......Which one matches your favorite sunglasses? Maybe let Mrs. Wars pick the one she likes for some free brownie points?

You can swap out the "skin" so that isn't so much a difference either?

The compare tool from here: Tools - GSMArena.com can show any differences very easily.
