I have started getting bored with my Noka N900 and looking for an upgrade. 3 devices that tempted me the most are...
1) iPhone 5
I was never a fan of iPhone untill I saw one of my colleague who purchased one. Some of the things that I admire and dislike about this device are..
Pros:
a) Design Factor: Very good build quality with stainless steel body
b) Retina Display: I like the fact that despite having mere 4 inch screen. It has massive 1136 X 660 resolution
c) IOS User Interface: I always prefer true multi tasking multi-tasking OS (like meego) don't know how good the lastest IOS supports true multi-tasking. However, after purchasing an iPad 2 for dad, I am tempted with the UI of IOS
d) Siri: Something that I admire the most about iPhone 4S.
Cons:
a) Screen Size: I always love big screens therefore one big reason i dislike iPhone is its mere 4 inch small screen. I prefer screen size greater than 4 inch.
b) Sharing Files: Apple has always imposed restrictions on sharing files using bluetooth or USB, something that I always dislike.
2) Lumia 920
I've been noticing promising Lumia 900 with latest WP operating system. It looks beautiful (specially the white glossy variant). Some of the features that I like and dislike about this device are..
Pros:
a) Design Factor: I like the design factor and build quality. But don't know how good polycarbonate alloy is comared to steel (in iPhone)
b) Screen: Its 4.5 inch screen size and super sensitive touch in which you can use nails and gloves is definately better than iPhone 5
c) Windows Phone: Windows Mobile 6.5 was somegthing I always considered crappy. But after reading about the newly redesigned Windows Phone 8, it looks promising. But don't know how good it is in multi-tasking and since this is a new mobile OS so don't know how much matured it is compared to IOS
d) Camera: I think Lumia 920 has the best camera after seeing numerous videos
Cons:
a) Windows Market Place: Compared to app store i am not sure how much the windows market is matured in terms of number of applications
3) LG Optimus G Lightening:
I've read Optimus G to be the fastest and most powerful smartphone in the world with top end specs. The only 2 things that I dislike about Optimus G are
Pros:
a) CPU / GPU: Fastest quad core and the most powerful GPU ever experienced in a mobie device.
b) Design: Unlike samsung it didn't use cheap plastic but permiumed material thats ceramic.
c) Camera: Not much know about the camera and its sensor but 13MP camera with unique sensors that took 15 months to develop such thing.
Cons:
a) Android: I have 2 Galaxy S2s in my family. One has ICE and one old gingerbread.
honestly the UI of Android looks ugly compared to WP8 and even IOS and the android is buggy every day I have to go to task manager and clear memory in order reduce some load on battery.
b) LG Service: Don't know if LG will provide the kind of support Apple and Nokia does.
So post your openions on these 3 top end devices and cast your votes on it.
