Man that will be Killer !!!<\/p>\n<p>So let me just explain few things what I like most about this phone.<\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Slick_Design\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">1<\/span> Slick Design<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#More_Productive_with_few_Clicks\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">2<\/span> More Productive with few Clicks<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Feels_Live\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">3<\/span> Feels Live<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Connected_and_well_integrated\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">4<\/span> Connected and well integrated<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Camera\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">5<\/span> Camera<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#MapNavigation\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">6<\/span> Map\/Navigation<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Tons_of_Apps\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">7<\/span> Tons of Apps:<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Battery_Life_and_Hardware\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">8<\/span> Battery Life and Hardware:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"Slick_Design\">Slick Design<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This phone feels slick when you hold it &#8230; It doesn&#8217;t feel like piece of plastic (my Samsung Galaxy S2 feels like plastic even though its $200 more costly).<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"More_Productive_with_few_Clicks\">More Productive with few Clicks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With Windows OS I felt more productive on Day one&#8230;. My company emails are well integrated, Hotmail , SkyDrive all feels so connected &#8230; Office Hub and People Hub also give me that edge to do things faster with my daya to day tasks. Local Scoute is another Amazing tool in this phone&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Just say or type in Bing e.g. &#8220;Napa Auto Parts&#8221; or &#8220;Subway Sandwich&#8221; and it will show you clean result only what you looking for unlike Google where you see crapy web links where you navigate to find store address\/phone number. From Local Scoute I can quickly navigate to destination or call them or Text Address to anyone in few clicks&#8230;. I am impressed guys &#8230; what a time saver Feature!!!<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Feels_Live\">Feels Live<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I have to admit that this OS is\u00a0very live, full of visual effects, fonts\/colors are consistent through out the OS.\u00a0My home screen is live with latest pictures, friend updates, my coming appointments, weather status, missed calls, unread emails\/sms, traffic report everything is handy on same screen&#8230; I don&#8217;t have to leave home screen to check most of the stuff.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Connected_and_well_integrated\">Connected and well integrated<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most of things in Windows Phone OS feels so connected and fast and fluid .. Which means I don&#8217;t jump back and forth to do common tasks.. e.g.\u00a0Email\/SMS, Get Directions &#8230;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Compared to Android I have multiple apps pre installed for same stuff&#8230; e.g. I have 2 Music Players , 2-3 Maps and Navigation Apps so every time I open something I have to think which one Do I use&#8230; Which one is better&#8230; ???<\/p>\n<p>For me to Simplicity and Consistency is key and I think MS got it right with windows phone this time!!!<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Camera\">Camera<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dedicated hardware camera button on this phone acts like\u00a0pocket camera&#8230; You can take pitures or Movies while your phone is locked using 8M camera (You can turn this off via setting if you don&#8217;t want). I can also play music while phone is locked&#8230; awesome feature!!!<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"MapNavigation\">Map\/Navigation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nokia is leader in Mapping technology&#8230; Not may people know but they are world&#8217;s largest Map Data Provider (They acquired <a title=\"Navteq - Map Data Provider\" href=\"http:\/\/www.navteq.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Navteq<\/a>\u00a0) I was able to Download 2GB worth of Map Data in\u00a0few\u00a0minutes and now I have total Offline GPS Mode available.\u00a0Which means your directions start instantly and if you are somewhere in the woods where you don&#8217;t have data connection or no cell phone signals this GPS will still work just like TomTom and Garmin Dedicated GPS&#8230; Yes that right no need to buy dedicated GPS !!!<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Tons_of_Apps\">Tons of Apps:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Not sure what people complaining about but I was able to find every single App from Market Place what I mostly use for my day to day use on Android Samsung Galaxy S2.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Battery_Life_and_Hardware\">Battery Life and Hardware:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even though this phone is Single Processer you will not feel sluggish &#8230; Multi Core Windows Phone coming end of this year but I am happy to have single core on my Phone coz it boosts battery life by consuming less power&#8230; I know many people talk about lake of processing power when you dont have dual core&#8230; Come on Guys this is not Database Server that you need Quad Core \ud83d\ude42 &#8230; Its just a Phone&#8230;. But I guess MS has no choice other than add multi core support coz that Marketing Gimics !!!<\/p>\n<p>Battery Life is better than Samsumg Galaxy S2\u00a0on Lumia 800 &#8230; I guess its becuase Galaxy Has bigger screen and too many services running in the back ground ???<\/p>\n<p>OK guys &#8230;&#8230;..\u00a0 For now thats it &#8230; Stay tuned on my blogs for more articles and tips<\/p>\n<p>Cheers !!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just received my first windows phone &#8211; Nokia Lumia 800.
