Nokia Lumia 820 review: Backup squad - read the full textBack up against the wall, Nokia looks to the launch of the first Windows Phone 8 smartphones as a make or break moment. It’s not essential for the Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 to become bestsellers, but it’s absolutely vital that they convince users of Microsoft’s mobile platform's potential...

They simply aren't fanboys.

All samsung galaxy phone's that comes with TouchWiz launcher are totally "bug" free. Who told u to flash ur rom? A little learning is a dangerous thing. Dont flash roms if ur knowledge is limited. Never root - you will Never face any "issue". Cheap phones may be laggy or slow - but they are "Cheap" phones.

And I'm an Android user since 2009 may be i have bugs in only 1% from type 1 ROMS and 10% from type 2.

Android in JB is completely rocks its so smooth in UI and rich in features and i don't know how you get bored from open source which you can have any launchers even launchers emulate like WP Metro launcher and IOS Launcher, while you say you don't get bored from non changeable launcher in WP Metro and IOS... it completely unreasonable state!

And you also said "An OS (Android) that needs reboot every couple days or factory reset every couple weeks is not a reliable OS for me. Prefer WP and iOS."
This proves 100% you never owned Android phone because me and all my friends have Android we never needed to factory reset, Only when you flash a new custom rom.
Why Nokia fans make up stuff like this to justify Nokia's failure? unbelievable people.

Sure, Android gives you more options but Android is too unreliable for my taste. Flash custom roms just to fix some bugs then you'll get even many more bugs in those custom roms. I got tired of flashing custom ROMs after awhile. WP and iOS are much more stable if you haven't used them.

May be Android lags in phones with Qualcomm CPUs but still it doesn't lag like how Nokia fanboys describe it... Even Windows XP lags if there are several application run in background! Android lags when you run a lot of apps in background without shutting them in an appropriate way, In Samsung devices just hold the center button for 2 seconds and release your hand it will show you all apps, you can close them or you can go though any of them like real computer, even now with latest update for S3 4.1.2 i can enjoy multi-windows view like Note II.
So have fun with the most limited outdated deserted OS ever = Windows Phone

They are faster OS because of restricted hardware and they can optimize the hardware better. Android is way too fragmented with many different SoC and GPUs. Plus Android was not created for touchscreen.

hell try implementing a HTC sense flipclock on iOS....it lags like hell...(after jailbreaking and cydia)

these OS are lightweight OS which dont truly multitask.therefore mid range specs of windows phone and iOS match high end specs of android.

but u have to consider pricing as well....since iOS and WP8 offer subpar hardware in those terms at the same price as top dog android hardware.....so they are in a way making more profit by fooling customers.

and software well android has better functionality and features and is better...PERIOD

How shame a Nokia mid range beating Samsung flagship in every benchmark. ROFL

Unlike the static icons of Android ?! This something where threads are running...and is a tax for the battery juice. Even still then... it is power efficient because, it lasts 2 days ( nearly)...And the way threads for the background execution by volume is different for Android and WP. By the way... how much would an Android phone last with a 1650 mAH battery with the same screen size...probably with your incorrect maths...the answer would be 120 hours?!
