Windows Phone sucks, always has. 90% of the problem is the hardware support, and not so much the OS itself.
Apple 5.

When I was a kid I remember when having call waiting...beep...beep...was the shiznit on the house phone, and a cord 12 feet long if you stretched it. I've had the latest/greatest best phone tech available ever since. (star trek kid)

It is funny how similar the phone battle resembes the PC battle of apple vs Microsoft. It is exactly the same. Apple markets to the ignorant, other smartphones are for the informed. It is the exact same way with computers.

The new Nokia Lumia 920 looks really nice but Windows sucks they have little to no apps compared to iOS and Android.

Which tablet do you have? I'm trying to get a Nexus 7 soon.

I have a joojoo, but they had a deal for the original purchasers of the joojoo to get the Grid 10 for the cost of processing and shipping ($30). The joojoo was out before the iPad1, and it mopped the floor with the iPad for what I needed it to do.
Now I'm holding out for an A4-workspace tablet of some sort, you know, to finally replace a piece of paper(A4 size, or even the slightly smaller letter size). But I want it in my specs, not what the manufacturer deems "marketable" to teenagers who use tablets for youtube and angry birds. (EI Triton in 4m colors+ or a hybrid mirasol display with IR, USB3, and 14650 ICR cells with an OMAP4+ or Snapdragon 3/4 in 28nm flavor, and if at all possible, a SuperH architectural graphical encoder.
Yes, I want a tablet that I don't have to charge every damn day, thus excluding the entire market of standard amoled/retina displays paired with a PowerVR or the current tegra SOCs.

Had a phone conversation w them last week and just got off chat ( describing all the sht service they been giving me since I bought a new Galaxy III one month ago ) . BOTH times they told me they were gonna credit my account $ 70 for all the terrible service . I just checked my bill . They " credited " my account exactly $ 3.55 . If my math is good thats $ 66.45 they forgot to credit me . My old i560 never worked this bad not even close . Went from good service 95% of the time - to 5% of the time ( when the call actually connects ).
Game over . I'm switching to some other carrier out of the principle of the thing . Plus my phone will actually work again . Sprint sux nowadays and they don't keep their word .

Uh, bullshit on the Joojoo.
My company did support for Fusion Garage, that company was a fucking sham. In fact, they still own my company a good deal of money. Horrible company, horrible product.
Also, Windows Phone is pretty awesome depending on your needs.
And to the goober above talking about app count, are you Special person? Their market hit 100,000 applications a while ago. It's amazing the level of ignorance.

My joojoo was exactly what I wanted, it works perfectly. I put fBSD on it with minimal ports and it is a mobile powerhouse, still is.
Their financial troubles is another story, and I agree. Fusion Garage were total idiots when it came to an aggressive pitch and promise.
And as far as windows phone being awesome. :lol: :roll: Awesome for idiots.

What kind of tablet is it? I have a ASUS Transformer and ICS has been a nightmare on it.

Not running android on the grid10 or joojoo. I have a cheap china knockoff/ipad clone tablet for android called the Aino Novo. I wouldn't recommend getting one, but the grid10 is basically android, but it's more like 2.3 with a different front end(grid 10 isn't very good BTW). I just mentioned the joojoo because I actually use it daily.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Get off your high horse, and you're wrong. You are not a smarter, more informed human being because you don't purchase apple. It has zero relevance to that conversation.

Disagree. I think it has the most well thought out UI design out of the three major mobile OS's. I think it's a really good option for a lot of people.
Plus, with the return/break rates we see on the new Nokias vs the more popular Android phones vs the iPhone, it seems people tend to like them. They also have a really low propensity to call for support or use our self help tools comparatively.
I have an obvious personal problem with Fusion Garage since I handled their reporting and analytics when they were still our customers.

Under a year for decent LTE, I've heard.

Then that's fine. I don't have a problem with subjectivity. I simply don't like when either microsoft or even apple, decide what is best for their users, before the users get the opportunity to develop a market following. The CE 5-6x, like I said before, was a very good OS, but limited to underpowered hardware, therefore the phones were real junk, because they were capable of doing everything under the OS, that any phone can do now, but they didn't have the power like new phones to do it. With Mobile 7-8*, mobile windows, stopped being windows. Personally, I think that was a bad move, especially when they could have easily capitalized on their familiar and popular interface to reign in far better mobile OS.

So I read a little on this but it was a bunch of tech jargon I didn't really understand . In laymans terms , does this ^ mean that my phone should start working better after they get their sht together ?

Depends what you mean by working better. All LTE does is increase data speeds, if you aren't in range if a tower that won't change.
