Lumia 630 just died ...arggh!

You have to admit, the camera on the L950/950XL is super awesome.

The latest update added panarama mode from within the camera app (at last!). I've had iphone and Android users comment on the quality of the L950 photos.

I seem to recall having panarama mode in my 610. Didn't find much use for it then either.

Seriously, you guys are struggling to find Windows Phones. Shouldn't that be telling you all something? Like. Maybe wPhone is dead and dying?

Consumer side, but not in enterprise.

My 950 needs a reboot about once a month or less.

The above is because I forgot to charge, else I'd probably be at around three or four months, LG G3S/beat,

And tbh, it all depends on the phone. I am not a fan of any below mid-range android or windows phone, they often lag and I cannot abide lag.
Are windows phones bad? No, they fulfill their purpose and they do it well, it's just that I prefer the android experience as I like the menu system more, I don't like how windows phone has endless scrolling (and I see it implemented on newer android devices as well, I'd probably get a skin that didn't have it).

I was once about to get a windows phone, but at the time there was a bug with the volume, if you set your music on medium/loud, the ringtone when called would share the volume, which would make it quite loud and an instant no for me as I constantly listen to music while on the move.

And by transfer only via One Drive, I think the poster meant sharing/transferring files over WiFi, which is quite simple on android. If you know how to do it on windows phone, please enlighten me, would love to tell a friend who needs it to transfer photos.

enjoy.

Still have a Nokia 610 Windows phone which is still working 4 yrs later.
Thankfully I I upgraded it to Sony M2 which is now also due for upgrade.

Both good phones.
Would I go for a Windows phone again?

Never again, I hated the way it locked a person out of doing extra normal things, web browser couldn't accept a port number. so no Web interfaces for your NAS or router or other services.
Direct File transfer from PC is non existent, you have to use One Drive.
no memory expansion for SD card
Multitasking is a joke.
No Apps e.g. banking and local shops etc. very annoying.
Rebooting about once a week is too often.
The OS is MS ***, pretty UI but rusty old nuts & bolts under the hood.

so OP sad to say but it's time to bite the bullet and go either android or iOS.

Disagree with this. Many people are dismissing windows out of hand, without actually ever owning a windows mobile device, or giving it a try. Both Android and iOS has its limitations, and in fact, iOS is just as bad in terms of locking its users into their eco system.

Im always asking clients, why do you want an Android or iOS device, i never truely get a good enough answer. Fact is, most users dont make use of any device to its fullest, which is why i never quite understand why get a top of the range device, if you only intend to use it for facebook, whatsapp and some emails/browsing.

Due to the nature of my work, i have had virtually every brand of device and OS, from Nokia and Blackberry, Apple to Samsung, HTC and Alcatel, Huawei and Microsoft etc and various OS from Android to iOS, windows to Sailfish to Firefox etc.. im still using Android but on a Hisense device, and have a Windows RT tablet and an HP Omni 10 tablet, but the experience for me personally is that Windows is a fantastic experience on a mobile device.

Unless you living in an Apple ecosystem, ie Ipad,iphone, Mac etc, i would suggest users actually give windows a go on the mobile platform. How many apps do you guys actually use on a mobile device?
