What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Was apparently a pretty quiet night around here, managed to catch up pretty quickly. I think that we are into the holiday slowdown.

Had a quick sticky beak at some Flickr accounts today as part of my initial invesitgation. Not sure if I'd end up using it. Mainly because there is no app for Windows Phone. Thus making it less convenient.
LOL, there is NOTHING for the Windows phone! I forgot, lacking Flickr was a big reason that I didn't use it. Windows Phone claims to be the "photo phone" yet lacks the primary pro photo app. Fail.
There isn't even a Google Drive app, why would there be a Flickr app?

The bigger question... why use Windows Phone then?

I pretty much never installed anything on my Windows Phone. It was pathetic.

Well, the by hangs a tale...
Mrs nadnerB and myself both had an HTC Desire each and they were dying slowly. They had done almost three years of service. Neither of us wanted to go on contract again as the cost to benefit was (and still is) bordering on daylight robbery. As we were going to be replacing both phones we wanted to buy an inexpensive but reasonable phone. Our budget was around $250 AUD each.
The budget ruled out the iPhone and the decent Android phones. So we were left with Landfill Android or a couple of Windows Phones. Initially I was hesitant as I didn't like how WP7 was (mis)handled. However there was never going to be anything decent in the price range for the foreseeable future.
Long story short we picked the Lumia 620. We were looking at the handsets them selves and not the environment that they plug into and at the time, the Lumia 620 was the pick of the bunch in that price bracket. It had a flash, it wasn't bulky, the build quality was good, it was responsive and the camera was decent (deal making/breaking thing for me).
At that time the app store was tiny and that hasn't changed very much but I don't use too many apps. I use my phone as a phone. I'm old school like that. The apps that I have are nice and all but I could live with out them, if I chose to.

My main gripe about the lack of Admin apps for Windows Phone is only really existant because the WiFi performance on my Transformer Prime (Android tab) is worse than
If that had better WiFi capabilities then I'd have no gripes about WP as I would have any App needs met elsewhere.

With my Lumia ICON, I've been on the Developer Preview and now up to 8.1.1 and it has been a fantastic experience and I do not find myself missing anything on my Windows Phone. Ready for the successor to the 1020 and I'll snatch it right up.

The Icon never made it here

Don't get me wrong, I still really love my Lumia 620

And Sadly, the ICON has been put out to pasture by Verizon. They are either going to carry limited, cheaper Windows Phones or wishful thinking, a new Flagship is coming. The HTC M8 doesn't cut it due to the subpar camera.

Good "morning" everyone, just barely I guess. Just getting caught up on today's reading.

Just finished eating lunch. Busy day here.

More packing done today. Probably ten more boxes completed at least. That was mostly Dominica, I just help with electronics and moving things around.
