So, If I upload pictures, for the most part I will have used my cell. I bought the Nokia 820 a year ago, the day it came out.
A little back story:
I have always been an ultra Nokia Fanatic! My first phone back in 2005 was a Nokia. Bulky, ugly by today's standards, but I used that thing from age 18-20 with NO problems. It was a prepaid tracfone at the time and purchased the cheapest phone because I wasn't really into the whole cell phone thing. I was just graduating from high school and didn't think it was so important to have one, but my mom insisted.
Then my mom decided she wanted a family plan. I fought it for as long as I could. I was only using about 300 minutes a month on tracfone, didn't think I needed it. But finally gave in, and let my mom get a family T-mobile plan. Because I had had such a good experience with my cheap Nokia, I selected the one that came free with the plan. Not as ugly, not bulky, but still no camera. Loved that phone as much as the first, besides I had been seeing my sister go through phone after phone after phone... (toilets are not a phones friend!)
At 21, I got on a plane and moved to Taiwan. Since phones purchased in America are locked to the company, I purchased a cheap Nokia, with no camera. (By this time, 2008, EVERYONE had camera phones.) I used that phone for 2 years. I dropped it on a daily basis from the very first day, (on which I dropped it twice in 5 minutes, just after activating!) I dropped it in the street and it was run over by a few scooters, My dog chewed it, I accidentally washed it in the washing machine and I dropped it in the toilet! But guess what? Still worked. Yeah it was banged up pretty good, but I was fine with it.
I decided to change only because that phone was 7-11 mobile prepaid and my now husband was about to go into his one year, required term of military service. We decided to get a Ya-tai plan so that we could call each other free. I selected a better Nokia, with OMG! a camera. I used that phone for 2 years and then my husband wanted to change to different company's plan because it was cheaper.
This is when I got my first smart phone.
There was no thinking necessary. I wanted a Nokia. I loved the idea of a windows phone. I had played around with a few friends iphones and samsung s-whatevers and found them complicated and not very user friendly.
At the time I was purchasing, Nokia was getting ready to roll out the 920 and the 820. I decided to wait the extra 2 weeks and get the latest versions, so I selected the 820. (920 seemed a bit big to me!)
Over the last year, I have loved the phone. Yes, Windows phones lack more popular apps, but there are plenty of copy-cat apps to chose from that work just as well. (i.e. Aupeo radio vs Pandora)
I took me all of 20 minutes to learn to use my phone and change the settings to the way I liked.
I can find anything I want via an easy, click alphabetical search or by scrolling down. Many of my friends have commented on how quickly windows phones scroll!
I love the alarm. I can set as many as I like as well as what days for them to go off and it goes off without a hitch everyday.
Another great feature is the camera. Windows phone's camera's are AMAZING. The pictures are so clear. Last month I took a trip to visit my family in the states with my husband and it started flurrying. This was my first time seeing snow in 5 years and my husbands first time EVER. He tried using his $300 optic lens camera and his cell phone but couldn't get a picture he liked. I posted my picture to his mom on the Chat app LINE and he stole it and posted it to facebook!
Another awesome thing: I have dropped this phone.... oh I dunno... maybe 50 times in the last year. No cracked screens. functions all still work perfect. Yeah, Nokia's are bricks man!
The one thing I dislike is the small internal storage level. Feel like my phone is always full and cannot save apps to SD instead. This severely limits my app downloading ability >.<
After a year, I do not yet feel the need to update my phone, but I know, in the future, when the time comes, I will be getting another Nokia.
