because apple isn't doing that

i liked my windows phone but i had to eventually come to the realization that it was actually shit. Plus, with the shit plastic cases it had, i had fucked up dented corners from dropping the thing a couple times.

Fpbp

Lagdroids just follow

That's what a case is for, OP

This was definitely the best design language at the time. The matte plastic looked so much better than the gloss they started using later on.

>Samsung had glass back phones while iphones had metal
>iphone now have glass back
ok

>samsung was so far behind they were still copying the iphone 4

>iphone 4s
>released 2011
>glass back

>s2
>no glass back
>galaxy nexus
>ngb
>galaxy note
>ngb


huh

Because that's what cases are for

Too fragile.

I miss Lumias. Still haven't found an Android phone with a speaker as loud as those things. used to be able to have a conversation on the highway with the convertible top down.

Something something production costs

Easier to do generic white and black that limited run colors

Black is more sleek

Because you hide it behind a case anyway

Too fragile? With most phones being made of literal glass now?

because dipshits have to have "MUH PREMIUM SODA CAN PHONE"
>HURRRRR ITS NOT COLD WHEN I PICK IT AT 4 AM AND RUB IT AGAINST MY NIPPLES

is this bait?

um you ok user?

I am user but I am upset by the "if its plastic its not good mentality"
quick on go on a random review of a all metal or glass and metal phone
>premium
>premium feel
>feels premium in the hand
its this premium meme thats making shit boring
"silver and black how professional" when its more like "silver and black how monotonous"

its fucking boring
I have the silver one and its boring
what happened to pic related?

you mean like aluminium?

OwO

I have that exact phone man. Same colour scheme and all.

What is the closest WP8 or WP10 equivalent? I need to know what to switch to, once it finally dies.

This was pinnacle of phone design.

wasted trips
nextbit is dead you dumb retard

plastic is awful material for phones.

as for color, some makers still make decent colors. but you have to order them directly from their website, stores often don't carry it like for example the blue galaxy S8

>i liked my windows phone but i had to eventually come to the realization that it was actually shit.
If you liked it, how could it have been shit? There must have been something about it that wasn't shit if you liked it.

Nothing is dent proof, user. i managed to drop my nokia phone so it dented the edge of the cheap plastic and also the screen's bezel behind the plastic. its extremely cheap and probably the reason that those phones were $50.

I loved my nokio Lumia. But the lack of apps eventually killed the phone for me. The app store was terrible so I jumped to android. Still the best looking phone and interface I have ever used.

Because faggots like you didn't buy despite complaining endlessly about glass and metal phone chassis.

100% agree.

>plastic is awful material for phones.
You know that you can buy different qualities of plastic, and that everything apart from the bottomest barrel is actually BETTER in any way (for a phone) than glass and metal.
Slipery as glass? Not with the right formula.
Shatters as glass? Nope.
Bends like aluminium? Nope.
Fucking faraday cage so that you have to get "clever" with your antennas? Nope.

My N9 is still in better condition than 95% of all the random premium phones I see on other people, and that thing has been with me on blue collar jobs, hiking, climbing and more.

Would you use Windows Phone again if there was a way to install Android applications on it?

it crashed and had a lack of apps. If I had to tab out of a browser into another app, when i tabbed back into the browser it would reload the page and, for example, reset any forms i had filled out.

Just use a skin.

This made me laugh. Good job.

get the next bitrobin, probably the closest plastic sexy phone you can find, if you hurry and order on amazon you may still get some because razer bought them out for some odd fucking reason.

I like the idea of the robin more than the execution.

I get that they're going for a blocky design intentionally, but I think Nokia's lumia 800/900 perfected the contrasting curves and straight edges.

The original 2013 Moto X had the best design of any of the moto phones. I've never held one so I have no idea if they used a decent plastic or not, but I the curved pebble-like back really worked imo

>WP failed
>BB10 failed

Literally the worst timeline.

It's all about that black

Retribution for being faggots and eating shit from Apple's arse
