I'll wait for you to explain how the iPhone equivalents to Maps, GMail, Docs etc are better

If you was well versed in all 3, then YOU would be telling us the difference
Am I right or wrong








































Do I even need to continue after that logical beatdown? :ufury:




































Maps, Gmail, Docs you say?


























Nokia Here Maps has been the best maps on phones since 2010
Nokia Drive offline navigation review: taking the Lumia 900 for an off-the-grid spin

But for a direct comparison
The Forgotten Mapmaker: Nokia Has Better Maps Than Apple and Maybe Even Google - Alexis C. Madrigal - The Atlantic

Or you can listen to Apple themselves say there maps suck
Tim Cook apologizes: "We Are Extremely Sorry" about Apple Maps

But here's the thing. HERE maps was ported to Apple, then taken off. And when it was there, it wasn't the full version. Didn't have voice navigation It always did on windows phone.
It also has walking navigation. Then it has something no other map thing has. Bus trip navigation
So anywhere I am, I can hit the bus link and it'll tell me how far the nearest bus stop is, and what time the bus comes




























Gmail, wouldn't a google phone have the best Gmail app?
Maybe not. Since you are clueless on how Windows phone works? I have Gmail pinned to my home screen
So I can see when a new email comes at all times, one press and I'm in instantly
I don't have to go into my gmail, the phone handles that from the home screen
Ditto with things like Facebook. You see the picture of yourself. New message on facebook?
Somebody tag you? It'll show up when my pictures flips.

Then I have a friends block, so if any of them write something or are tagged it shows up in there block
All from the home screen, so I never have to go into facebook to see or reply to post
A pal of mine host poker, does the invites via facebook. Once I clicked on I'm attending
My windows phone automatically puts that into my calender (I just realized it does this a few days ago)
Gmail, most of the other features of gmail are done right from the windows phone home screen



































Documents you say
I have Microsoft Office and Word and Note built into my windows phone
I also have an iPhone 4s, so I have used apples apps and apple is a bunch of bullshyt
Its ok, but the whole platform is for uppity types who are not really tech savy

Ok so, Nokia Maps that isn't available anymore on iOS is a loss and the Maps they tried to put out was a major L. Saying you use GMail on your windows phone is a loss, seeing how I wasn't asking how GMail worked on iOS (who cares about WP) I was asking how they're native app stacked up. But you answered that yourself by admitting you use GMail. I'll give you a tie on docs, because although its not as powerful as Office it works very well and syncs automatically.

 

[The Phoenix]

Fragmentation is overblown. It may have been a bigger deal when they were still doing things with Eclair and then they stepped to Froyo and it seemed just about all the phones out had Froyo on it. But nowadays it seems most carriers are better equipped to handle updates even though there is still room for improvement. Thing is though, if you have users on ICS, Jellybean, and KitKat, technically it is fragmented, but not like Apple is trying to make it out to be. People making apps and features for devices do not have to worry about which of those people have because their apps will perform regardless.

Now you just being bitter and immature
How you gonna say doc's is a tie, then say "well its not as powerful as office"
So your shyt syncs automatically right, is that supposed to be an exclusive feature to IOS or are you being furious?

As for me using Gmail. I have several Gmail accounts. As well as most other email sites
I dont' use gmail type apps, and I don't need to because windows phone has all that shyt built in

Finally, Nokia Maps. Nokia has its own phone line, so it didn't support IOS like it could have.
Just like youtube hasn't supported windows like it could. That's business
The question is which is better. I'm telling you the answer hands down without blinking is Here maps on a windows phone
You wanna know how I know
Because I have a Lumia 521 and an iPhone 4s
I have the shyt you talking about. Is my windows phone better at everything over the 4s? No
But it is more functional than the iPhone is. Easier to do shyt. Does shyt better.
ESPECIALLY the maps and office. Its just a much more efficient OS than IOS is. Even Liquid the mod says the same thing...

 

[ll_simon]

I say its a tie because even though it doesn't have the full feature set, its more than capable of getting the job done for most of the people that need office software. Don't know why you still keep bringing up WP when this is iOS/Android we're talking about so I'm just gonna disregard the rest.

Breh aint nobody worried bout no fukkin MS maps..not saying its a bad product but when you speak of maps you usually mean Google..
Apple is nowhere near BS

Look CHILD fukk outta hurr
Office on windows phone >>> whatever bullshyt you yappin about and YOU know it
Saying its more than capable, that applies to all 3 IOS so you can shut that bullshyt up
As for we only talking about IOS/Andriod? Since when, after you get sonned into oblivion
Peep the OG post, then never speak on things you know LITERALLY nothing about

Breh aint nobody worried bout no fukkin MS maps..not saying its a bad product but when you speak of maps you usually mean Google..

What the hell does that even mean bruh. "When you speak on maps, you usually mean google"
It usually means maps period. Just cuz the HERE maps is the best maps feature, you wanna go "Uh, only applies to google and whatever other map I deem worthy"
Thats basically what you saying. Cool for you in your own universe, bu the discussion was what has the best
Here maps is the best. Hands down. Not even close. Check a review from a tech site like Cnet
I'll be over here in the winners circle
Ask your fellow mod breathren @Liquid he has one. And we all know he was a big windows hater before...

@PS4 stick to video games :takeiteazy:

And you stick to shutting the fukk up :ufury2:

Apple creates great services and then adds some random limitation that has you like

oh all your pics including every level of edit will reside in the cloud along side your backup and mp3, but you only get 5gb and have to pay dearly for any extra

we made the music app better, but now you cant shuffle by genre or within one album

 

[ll_simon]

Article is about Apple and Google, OP added MS. And its true regardless that WP is trying to catch up to both platforms. Having a 521 and a 4s don't impress me tho, lemme know when you have a serious phone with serious hardware.
