Windows Phones - Which is the better buy here?

Hey guys i want to get a new phone and im tossed up between 3 different WP. The three phones are;

  • Samsung I8700 Omnia 7
  • Samsung Omnia W
  • Nokia Lumia 710

I read alot of reviews over the internet but i'm still undecided. If anyone has any experiences with either phone, it would be much appreciated.

      Actually window phones are getting up there. I have previously tried both iOS and droid before, droid being the worst; it keeps the OS keeps crashing, and is very laggy & buggy. I have read reviews that the OS of WP are smooth and hence i want to try it out.

      • i've never had a problem with my androids. They don't crash and they're quite smooth. I have a Xperia X8 and Sola

        If the OS keeps crashing and you have performance issues, then its likely that the device you tested on was a low-end mobile phone that wasn't quite equipped to handle Android.

        This is the problem with Android — fragmentation. People buy an Android phone expecting it to be smooth, but when the user experience falters they get the impression that Android is slow, laggy and user-unfriendly.

        However the user experience can vary highly between devices due to their very different hardware, plus the bloatware and custom skins that manufacturers often install onto their devices.
        Android by itself is a very polished product, but the hardware of most budget android phones lets it down.

        Microsoft and Apple standardise everything so that the user experience is identical between each device, and they have strict standards on the bloatware and customisation that can be put into the OS.

    • i prefer android but WP is very smooth. WP is too boring for me, there's not enough customisation

  • None of these phones run Windows Phone 8 so i wouldnt get any of them.

    • Yeah dfyuzer,

      I would wait for Windows 8 on 820 or 920.

      If you have decided on Win7 or 7.5 then Lumia is the way to go.

    • Yup. Suggest maybe a HTC 8S for the low end price bracket. WP8 at 187 pounds from clove plus ship.
