From the Forums

Information technology's time for another From the Forums roundup and since it'southward a Sat we thought we'd add a slightly humorous twist to this edition - so exist sure to cheque out the miscellaneous section at the end for the feel-expert call out. While not much has occurred during the week in the backwash of the HTC result, nosotros've been able locate popular threads over on our forums for inclusion.

The somewhat competitive Windows Phone market

The Windows Phone market is surely heating up with Nokia lashing out against Samsung and HTC, it's like to iii kids in Toys"R"usa who are fighting over who'due south getting the latest toy. It'due south good to see more options bachelor to consumers and manufacturers pouring effort into the platform, but some may be put off with the attacks and jabs that are taking place.

Forum member Winterfang created a thread to discuss the latest HTC hardware against what Nokia has to offer with its Lumia family, only of class the party crashing and tweets from Nokia were eventually debated.

"Talk about cute pattern that feels like it'south made with Windows Phone in mind. Something new, something fresh, something that stand for the very best on the company. What is Nokia going to exercise now? The 8X is basically a better looking, much lighter Lumia 920 that's available on all major carriers. Possibly if it had existent pureview information technology might differentiate themselves but they blow it hard."

What practice you make of the hardware released by the 3 manufacturers? Do you believe there's a need for Nokia to exist jabbing HTC and Samsung? Caput on over to the "HTC beat Nokia at it'southward own game." to voice your opinion.

High-end HTC Apollo device on the way?

Before the 8X and 8S were announced nosotros were speculating that the company would sport iii new Windows Phones. The 8X isn't high-cease past any ways (though it'south certainly no slouch), so could nosotros still run across the likes of the 'Zenith' to more effectively gainsay the Lumia 920? Forum user stevovr seems to believe so:

"While looking at all the threads comparison the diverse new phones and thinking where is the Zenith/Titan i started to wonder near whats coming before long. Eveyone has opinions about wither HTC is holding back but i idea to myself that what is coming is non ready yet. HTC was keen to bring up the long term relationship with Microsoft."

It's definitely a possibility, and i nosotros'd like to believe. Just what do you recollect? Should HTC stay in the high-terminate business? Provide your $0.02 in the "Hither's a HTC thought" thread.

Miscellaneous: The Tim Cook iPhone 5 lie

iPhone 5 Bruce Lee

Forum userGaichuke decided to create a comparison chart that puts the Lumia 920's PureMotion HD+ display up confronting Apple tree'southward claim that the iPhone five has the "most avant-garde display in the world." Unlike picture edits like the one above, the comparison chart uses specifications of both the iPhone 5 and Lumi 920 to come up to the conclusion that Tim Cook is wrong and the iPhone 5 does not sport the most avant-garde display.

Caput on over to the "Display comparison betwixt iPhone 5 and Lumia 920" thread to leave your feedback. And now we leave you with said Phone v display comparing prototype. Bask!
