No, I’m not exactly bashing the Microsoft guys. Actually they have done quite a wonderful work with Windows Phone. If you read my earlier post, I’m a big fan of Nokia Lumia 800 and Windows Phone platform. But I wont just blindly accep hoopla around the platform. After using it for around strong 4+ months, I’m now finding out some stuff where Microsoft should really put their hands on and improve the platform. That’s why I’ve started this series of Why I Hate Windows Phone. And if you too hate something in your WP and want to send a strong message to Microsoft guys, you can tweet using hash tag #iHateWindowsPhone. In this article I’ll focus on functionality to send contact info via SMS and what is the temporary solution to get around that problem.   (more…)

 The naysayers and tech media critics would have you believe that the impending launch of Windows 8 for tablets and the Windows Phone platform in general are doomed to failure.

  As I’ve learnt moments ago from this post on TheNextWeb, two things are happening. One, SkyDrive app is released for Windows and Mac, and Second and more important if you’re using SkyDrive.com as your free storage of documents, is the free storage is being dropped. For the starters, SkyDrive.com is Microsoft’s cloud offering in which you can store your documents, photos and videos. The familiar folder structure of the Windows PC is present and hence the good experience. As a Windows Phone owner, it’s mandatory to have hotmail id which by default entitles you for 25 GB of free storage on SkyDrive.com. But as just now learnt the free storage is shrinking, and if you don’t act now, only 7 GB will remain as free storage for you account.  (more…)

I recently bought Nokia Lumia 800, Windows Phone OS powered phone after much of research. iPhone was my obvious choice before I came to know about Lumia and from the time I bought this amazing phone, I totally love the experience.

Plus you can Ring it remotely as well as wipe out the data if your phone is stolen. And these services are totally free of cost. Let’s see how.  (more…)

Recently I bought Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phone OS powered smartphone. I was a big fan of iPhone and considering to buy one before Nokia Lumia 800 came out. I was on the verge to buy iPhone but couldn’t because of some personal situations. And then one day I got promotional email of Nokia Lumia 800.
