Oh no. Iphone is not of my taste. I also don't use much apps, but a lot of browsing.

For me Windows on Nokia makes more sense as I do not use Apps, except for Office, PDF and Google Mail.

Iphone is definitely not the best option if the requirement is for browsing and reading. I was on Note1 and now using an Iphone 5 and the one of the few things I miss is the huge real estate I used to get with my Note.

The problem with a big screen is that it is too big as a Phone.

Yeah, that is right and exactky the reason I am looking to know the experience of people using it. Stores are not allowing to use an actual piece for more than a couple of min.

Yeah, but then if your requirement needs a bigger screen there is nothing wrong in going for it. It's a personal choice and nothing can be generalized as too big or too small the way technology changes these days!

Oh man! After almost an year of usage, I just realised there are better browsers than IE on the WP8 platform!

Anyways, installed the UC Browser (link) and it worked well so far. Webpages load much much faster and there are several customisations and tweaks. Any better browsers other than the UC Browser?

Btw I just realised, when a notification appears (for instance, a WhatsApp message or an SMS) we could simply swipe the notification to the right from the home screen and it would go away. Never realised it until I accidentally swiped a notification recently. Previously I used to wait until it disappears which takes a few seconds. Do try it out in case you aren't aware of this!

Guys, today I got around 7 updates on my Nokia Lumia 925. One of the update is related to 'touch' application.

After applying updates, when I went to this touch app, there is a new addition which enables/disables the vibration of the std. windows keys. I disabled it and the std Windows keys (back, home and search) are not vibrating now. This is a good update. Please update your phone asap. Thanks.

Facing an irritating issue with my Lumia 525. Whatsapp was working fine until a couple of hours back when my phone stopped sending and receiving messages. The account settings showed connection status as "not connected" so I just re-installed the app.

Now after the initialisation part, my whatsapp is stuck on the "Creating favs" screen. Tried re-installing again but it doesn't work. Even rebooted the phone twice.


Any idea what to do? I find this very irritating. Tried on Vodafone 3G as well as my home wifi.

Try again. Maybe you were trying during the outage - http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/22/wha...tion-confirms/

Problem solved. Here's what I did.
Removed whatsapp, then removed my Google account which in turn deleted all my contacts from the phone.

Then reinstalled whatsapp and it started running in a flash. Once it was normal, I just synced my Google account again and got the contacts back. Then waited few minutes for whatsapp to get refreshed and now everything's working again.

does Lumia 525 have offline navigation for India? Do the India maps come preloaded or we have to download it?

Yes it does and you need to download the maps. The complete India map is about 800+Mb. You also have the option of downloading maps state wise.

The default Photos application on Windows Phone 8 gives you the facility of Nested Folders. You just need to connect to computer using USB cable and create any folders within Photos -> albums (on phone) that translates to Phone -> Pictures on Windows Explorer. Or you can just dump the entire hierarchy of pics as in your nested folders directly in the Windows phone and it should take it at that and navigate through it nested while browsing on the phone.
