the evolution of Windows phone 7

well well well, havent we come along way in only 2 years microsoft ? i mean in october 2009 they showed us Windows mobile 6.5 which was made awesome by the HTC HD2, but then at MWC in barcelona in february we ggot teased what then , was known as windows phone 7 series (yeah i know a long name for an OS) and i will post some photos of how the original interface of WP7S looked and you will see how the design has majorly stayed the same , and thats not a bad thing because WP7 is sexy.
so very similar to WP7 of today, no ?
but what i'm glad Microsoft did was stardardise the colours of the tiles , instead of having a mash-up of coloured and black backgrounded ones that, in my opinion ruined the perfect, "Metro-UI" concept, because my favourite colour is the light blue on the black background , and if each tile were a different colour, its just an aesthetic thing ,i reckon i might not have bought one.

so that is a few things, but there are more minor ones, like originally the search button only did Bing, now it is context sensitive ,so for instance if you were in contacts you get a contact search instead of a rather useless Bing search, right on.

Should People consider a mid-range phone for their next upgrade?

2013 has been a bit of an odd year,for Smartphones that is, Every year we are basically conditioned to believe that we want the biggest and best phones that are available at that time, but that's actually changing,This year we have seen OEM's create "mini" versions of their phones, and for once, They.Don't.Suck This, is the Galaxy S4 Mini, From Samsung, it doesn't have the most mind-blowing specs , its a dual-core Snapdragon 400 (Krait 300) , it's got an 8MP camera from the Galaxy S III, it's pretty thin and pretty light, it's got a 4.3" qHD (960x540)  Super AMOLED screen, also the Design of the Galaxy S4 and some other stuff. And guess what, it's doesn't lag,and the Minor bits of lag that are there are Touchwiz based,which are being remedied as we speak, same as the Larger Galaxy S4, which ad software glitches which caused it to lag, they are being ironed out as we speak. And yes, the Screen might not be HD, but it kinda does...

Why I'm not a fan of the OnePlus 2

Photo credit from GSMArena To those that Follow me on twitter it's no surprise to you that I was very underwhelmed with the OnePlus 2, but it's hard to explain why in 140 Characters, so here I'm going to expand a bit more on the things I’m not a fan of and why. First up is the USB-C Port. Now as we already know, USB-C the Port isn’t the same as USB-C W/USB3.1, the Damn USB-C, it's there,but not quite there. latter is the all singing all dancing version of USB-C, nothing has this yet (the closest we have so far is the new MacBook and Chromebook Pixel, that use most of this, except at USB3 speeds, or what has retroactively been called, USB3.1 Gen1). The OnePlus 2 though, like the Nokia N1 before it, isn't doing any of this, it hasn't got support for up to 100w, it doesn’t transfer data at the blisteringly fast 10gbps (USB 3.1 Gen2) or 5gbps (USB3.0/3.1 Gen1), no the USB-C port on the OnePlus 2 is USB2 based, that’s right 480mbps, same as microUSB in ph...
