Yup. They are both utterly st.

The sound quality for music was/is much much better on my Windows mobile/nokia device than my Iphone.

Apps interface is much cleaner and easier to use on my windows device than on my iphone.
Settings menu is clearer and easier to work with and understand on my windows mobile.
My windows mobile/nokia is much harder to damage or break than my iphone which has twice had a broken screen once from being dropped +- 30cm onto a tiled floor.


I have had a number of android tablets and phones and they have all over time got gradually slower and slower and buggier and buggier unlike my windows mobile devices. Also worth note is that my iphone can be buggy and when there is an update it is monumentally persistant in trying to force me to update the phone.

Even when i tell it to ignore the update it immediately asks me to unlock the screen and then takes me to the install screen asking me to accept the update terms and conditions.

Yes windows mobile doesn't have 50 million apps, 49 million 900 thousand of which are minor duplicates of each other . Whooopdee doo.

Before microsoft decided to pull support for windows phone it had all the apps you could need "almost".
Yep, pretty much my experience too. The durability and ease of use are why I got my mum one, her Lumia 820 has been going strong for over 2 years and as she's in her 70s and would freely admit she's no good with technology I'd say it passes the Aunt Tilly test with flying colors smile
