Nokia Lumia 920

Well i think eventually every programmer will build their own personal notes app and start to use it. That's the easiest thing to do if you want to learn a programming language or framework - Home projects. Why I did this ? I used evernotes between 2008-2011. Then bought Nokia 920 and windows Phone at that time did not support evernotes so switched to OneNote and been using OneNote next 7years(same Nokia920 strong phone). Last year switched to Nokia 7Plus Android still use onenote it doesn't have features I want. I basically want to take quick notes and bookmark links and I need a timestamp to say when I did it. So in the process, wrote an app for personal use. It suits my requirement as of now - https://stash.bobbydreamer.com Feel free to try it out. What I used is JavaScript, bootstrap for menus, Firebase for storage & authentication. Next phase for learning ofcourse, 1. Option to write Notes in Markdown 2. UI look like Outlook 3. Not fully load entire db in homepage. Below items I have already in my todos, I am sure I will never do it as I have other personal apps in mind. 1. Export/Import 2. Mark a note as public or private. If public anybody can comment on your notes. Suggest changes.

True. They probably should have used some Lumias and Android phones since there are plenty of those that look sufficiently glamorous for these photo shoots and won't leave observant technical audiences feeling misled. That said, wireless charging doesn't feel to me like a "flagships only" feature. I've been using Qi with my Lumia 920 for 2 years now; this doesn't seem like a flagship phone, but perhaps it was when I got it?

I still remember the Lumia 920 as the best phone I ever used. Snappy, well done OS, intuitive, great camera. What Microsoft mobile lacked, despite having a higher market share than iOS at some point was app support. Developers and companies pretended it did not exist. Banks, your local transport, whatever. I think that was what killed windows mobile phone. Any other just doesn't hold: os and hardware were very, very good.

I loved my Windows Nokia phone (I think a Lumia 920)

To be honest, my current smartphone doesn't feel at all that evolved compared to my 300€s Lumia 920 from 2013.. Pics are slightly better, but I've never cared that much about photos and the Lumia 920 made amazing ones. In fact, if anything, my phone feels slower, more intrusive with ads and notifications..Battery life is much worse too. Things that got better are: - apps supported. Windows mobile was killed by developers sabotaging the ecosystem entirely, many banks/etc just ignored it even when Lumias were outselling iphones globally - screen: albeit it really shows in a very light environments (like at the beach) - external hardware support such as Bluetooth earbuds

I loved my Lumia 920, and if only there were apps, I would not be using iPhone right now. Major things I've missed that were available on android/iOS: banking app - some other banks had an app for WP, but I didn't want to switch banks public transit route planner - there were some, iOS and android had THE app for my city with really good bus arrival estimates official public transit app - I couldn't buy tickets from my phone official city parking app - had to go to parking teller and pay there in friggin cash, now I just set the zone and am done with it even the most popular taxi app was not available Hearthstone - I like this rng card game

The problem with WP was that it was late and offered nothing very special to consumers over android/iOS (and ya, I loved my 920). Consumers had no reason to buy it, developers had no reason to dev for it, a huge vicious circle that would have been difficult to break under the best of circumstances. The war was lost when the WinMo 7 team decided to after Blackberry in 2007, ignoring the iPhone as consequential, requiring that dev/design reset later that was just too late.

I recently switched to the Windows Phone 8 and I freaking LOVE IT. Specifically its the Lumia 920, and oh man is it swish. Really makes the iPhone look dated.
