Did I mention that this has SD card support and you can make it a 72GB mp3 player if you wanted?

>getting a phone as dark as your soul

The real cost of owning a smartphone isn't in the device itself, it's the extremely high cost of data plans. Even with a prepaid device, data costs an average of hundreds of dollars per year.

>>35484489
You don't need to get a data plan...

Looks decent but will Windows Phone get any less shitty?

>>35484579
What's shitty about it?

YouTube, Google Maps, Vine, Flipboard, Instagram, Hipstamatic, etc. I could keep going.

Well at least you came up with something.

>>35484726
to be fair we have 3rd party instagram, vine, and YouTube clients which are just as good (or arguably better, like MetroTube) as their first party counterparts.

Also Hipstamatic and Flipboard are coming.

It's a $100 phone, what do you really expect?

costs 280 usd where i live

for 100 i'd buy it as a third phone or give my second phone to one of my family members. for 280? hah no

W8P has no apps?

So everything is iOS or Android, but nothing for W8P?

>>35484777
It makes me a bit suspicious when the exact same thread promoting a product with the same photo, same file name, subject line, and text each time is reposted 15+ times per day. It certainly appears to be Microsoft marketing.

>>35484834
yeah, WP is newer and has a smaller market share. Higher risk than publishing for iOS and Android.

Should I get this or a Samsung in the same price range?

Or a chinkphone?

I brought the 520 yesterday. I am a linux user.
The overall use of the interface is very refined. More so than an android, and definitely up their with IOS. It is very quick and very responsive. The browser is good, and scales pages much better than android does. I have only had a few issues so far. Coping Music from Linux on to it is impossible; even using an mtp Client. and The lack of apps on the marketplace is disappointing. Anyone have any questions?

>>35484917
Android is going to run like shit on a $100 phone.

>>35484932
Yeah, I've heard MTP support is wonky with Linux, which is disappointing.

>>35484947
I'm working on getting a bug report together at the moment. Hope we can get it fixed! I did at one point have access to the file system on the sd-card through it, when I tried storing music in the music folder, it did save their. I was able to view it on a Windows computer, but it wouldn't detect on the phone. I think when it syncs with the App on the desktop version, it adds the media to some sort of an Database / index.

>>35484750
Go away Apple shill

>>35484750
Is the 301 any good? Seems interesting. Very cheap and not touch.

>>35484807
>costs 280 usd where i live

Must suck to live in a 3rd world country

>>35484834
>W8P has no apps?

It has plenty of apps right now, but yeah, it didnt have many apps a while ago.

>>35484917
>Should I get this or a Samsung in the same price range?

Depends on what phone you get. Android phones at $100 run like shit.

>>35485073
But it's not as if you can have every neat app ever?

>>35484932
How is the battery life?

>>35484932
How much did you pay for it?

Why did you buy WP instead of Android as a Linux user?

How's the overall build quality?

>>35485092
Personally, I think WP8 is fine as long as you're not an internet addict who needs like 50 apps on his phone.

>>35484934
>>35485084
I don't have a smartphone myself yet, so I don't know much, but my brother bought one for 80$ (a mio, I think) and seems to be happy with it.

>>35485094
I just finished charging it overnight, but on the initial battery from the store, which came at 30%? lasted for a good 4 hours of solid use; In short, It seems pretty good, but I haven't had a full day of use.

>>35484932
Why did you get the 520 instead of a good phone like the Nexus 4? Are you poor?

>>35485134
If you've never owned a smartphone before, WP8 is a good way to start, especially at $100 off contract. Just make sure you grab all the updates when they come out.

>>35485108
> $299 New Zealand Dollars

> Their wasn't anything that had decent screen size ect in my price range; the other option would have been a galaxy ace, and to be honest it's pretty shit.

> Really solid. It's the back is rubberised the same way that thinkpads are, so it doesn't slip around. The way the case comes off is really nice, so you don't feel the creases in your hands. Theirs no flex when I try to flex it.

What does it get, four hours of battery life? Pathetic.

Of course, America again. Why can't they do this in Yurop some time?

I'd rather have the feature phone.

This is actually tempting. I have an old Samsung Ace that's been to shit recently..
Then again, I might get a deal for a S3 mini for €150

>>35485211
I use my phone for Texting, Facebook, Calling and maybe looking something up on the internet, reading the news/listening to music. For a heavy smartphone user I would say android would suit better. I was expecting their to be more apps, Lack of a dedicated Youtube player struck me as strange. I hope google gets on board a bit more.

>>35485232
I know the feel bro.
Getting out as soon as I can.

Why would you need one when YouTube works just fine in a browser?

7-8 hours of screen on time with a G S III. I get two or three days if I don't use the screen a lot.

They have one but Google made them take it off the store.

It is slightly inconvenient compared to having a more native app. I guess I'll get used to it.

I use my phone for calls, texts, email, and music.

I'll keep my nokia 301 okay? 900+ hours standby, 20 hours talk time.

>>35485445
get metrotube, the trial is basically a free version if ya can't pay for it.

No NFC?
Sorry, Looks good, But I'd rather buy another 620.
Good shit, the 620.

You are lying. Nobody gets that on the stock battery.

no ones arguing with ya buddy

>>35485458
But the 301 doesn't have wifi.

>>35485405
>Why would you need one when YouTube works just fine in a browser?

Because the browser isn't optimized for Youtube. An app is so much smoother and more powerful.

>>35485489
Nope. I keep the brightness down and I don't have a bunch of runaway services eating battery in the background (I'm looking at you, location services).

>>35485382
Doesn't Microsoft keep the Linux version of Skype up to date?

>>35485514
They don't really do much to maintain it. It never really changes. Pretty sure it was compatible with Linux before Microsoft gained ownership of it, though.

You have a job where you tote around a laptop or tablet in your jacket? Are you a nigger? A person with a job just gets a smartphone so he can always do work even without his laptop.
