Best AnswerAsker's Choice I'm Kloseanswered3 months agoDari sisi-sisi yang lain:- Office: Windows Phone tentunya lebih baik karena adanya Microsoft Office asli dan resmi.

- UI: Windows Phone lebih unik terlebih adanya Live Tiles, namun banyak orang mengatakan UI Metro di WP membosakan. Tapi banyak cara-cara di internet untuk mempercantik tampilan Windows Phone.

- Multimedia: Android lebih baik, banyak fitur multimedia canggih yang hadir lebih dulu di Android.

- Kamera: Windows Phone menang, tapi untuk seri Lumia saja. Karena Nokia menghadirkan banyak fitur-fitur kamera pada Lumia seperti Cinemagraph, Smart shot, Creative studio, dll dan terlebih saat ini sendiri rajanya ponsel kamera adalah Nokia.

- Multitasking dan performa: Windows Phone unggul. Dari prosesor dan RAM, Windows Phone tentu kalah dengan Android yang sudah mencapai Octa-core namun jangan salah karena performa Windows Phone sangat luar biasa dan mengalahkan Android.

Coba kamu pinjam Nokia Lumia 520 milik orang lain lalu buka aplikasi berat seperti Internet, Games dan Office. Kalau di Android seperti Galaxy Fame, tentunya lambat. Namun di Lumia, semuanya berjalan lancar dan sangat smooth walaupun dari spek lebih kecil. Hal itu dikarenakan UInya yang ringan dan tidak seperti Android.

http://teknologi.kompasiana.com/gadget/2013/06/24/windows-phone-vs-android-windows-phone-juara--568027.htmlWindows Phone vs Android? Windows Phone Juara!REP| 24 June 2013 | 18:47Dibaca:16220Komentar:10Belakangan ini, smartphone menjadi salah satugadgetyang paling digandrungi di pasaran. Melihat minat konsumen yang begitu besar terhadap perangkat ini, produsen smartphone gencar memperkanalkan produk baru dengan fitur yang tidak ada pada produk sebelumnya. Persaingan tersebut memang membawa dampak positif bagi konsumen terutama mereka yang ingin mendapatkan produk terbaik dengan harga menarik. OS adalah salah satu pendukung utamasmartphone. Tanpa sistem operasi, smartphone tidak bisa dioperasikan. Dengan kata lain, OS juga menentukan kualitas dari smartphone itu sendiri. Jika Anda ingin membeli smartphone, Anda juga perlu membandingkan sistem operasi di dalamnya. Android, iOS, dan Windows Phone adalah sistem operasi yang diterapkan untuk smartphone. Bagaimanakah perbandingan antara Android dan Windows Phone 8?Dilihat dari segi popularitas, Android jauh lebih unggul daripadaWindows Phone. Jika dilihat dari market share, presentase Windows Phone memang sangat kecil (hanya sekitar 3%). Perlu diketahui, Android menjadi sistem operasi yang sangat populer karena mudah dioperasikan, didukung banyak aplikasi gratis, dan perkembangannya juga sangat cepat. Android adalah sistem operasi yang cukup user friendly karena mendukug fitur layar sentuh. Hanya dengan menyentuh tombol atau ikon tertentu, pegguna bisa mengakses menu dan fitur Android. Sistem Android juga menjadi primadona karena penggunanya bisa mengakses ribuan aplikasi gratis yang disediakan Google di Play Store. Jika Anda membandingkan Android versi Froyo dan Gingerbread, perbedaan kedua OS tersebut sangat signifikan. Meskipun selisih usia kedua sistem operasi tersebut tidak terlalu besar, perkembangannya cukup pesat.Bagaimana dengan popularitas Windows Phone 8? Windows Phone 8 memang belum lama masuk dalam market smartphone, tetapi perusahaan ini sudah menduduki peringkat teratas untuk sistem operasi bagi PC desktop atau notebook.Mungkin Windows butuh waktu yang cukup lama untuk menarik minat konsumen dan mendapatkan market share yang lebih tinggi. Tidak seperti Android yang digunakan oleh banyak produsen smartphone terkenal, Windows Phone mungkin bisa dibilang sepi peminat.Nokia Lumiamemang mencapai penjualan yang cukup memuaskan, tetapi penjualan tersebut tidak bisa mendongkrak popularitas Windows Phone. Selain itu, penjualan Lumia pun masih jauh di bawah iPhone.Bagaimana dengan perbandingan fitur antara Android dan Windows Phone? Fitur yang telah dikembangkan dalam Android 4.1 Jelly Bean memang jauh lebih baik dari versi sebelumnya. Sistem operasi untuk smartphone ini juga menyediakan akses bagi penggunanya untuk menikmati hiburan multimedia melalui Google Play. Pengguna Android bisa mendapatkan aplikasi, musik, atau film terbaru sesuai dengan keinginan mereka. Pengguna juga bisa mendapatkan game baik yang gratis maupun berbayar. Windows Phone 8 menawarkan akses untuk menikmati musik melalui Xbox Music. Dibandingkan dengan Google Play, jumlah game untuk pengguna Windows Phone 8 masih sedikit, tetapi pengguna bisa mendapatkan game eksklusif yang tidak bisa ditemukan dengan mudah. Jumlah aplikasi untuk Windows Phone sendiri meamng lebih sedikit dari Android.Windows Phone 8hanya menyediakan sekitar 100.000 aplikasi dan Android menyediakan lebih dari 600.000 aplikasi untuk penggunanya. Untuk membuat penggunanya tetap terkoneksi satu sama lain, Android juga memberikan integrasi melalui berbagai social media seperti Twitter dan Facebook. Namun, Windows Phone 8 menambahkan LinkedIn dan Windows Live untuk penggunanya.Sistem operasi manakah yang lebih Anda sukai? Dari segi popularitas, Android memang jauh lebih unggul dari Windows Phone. Dilihat dari fiturnya, kedua sistem operasi tersebut mempunyai keunggulannya masing-masing.Banyak kalangan orang awam yang bingung dalam hal memilih jalur ponsel yang akan mereka miliki. Tapi kebanyakan orang cenderung berpihak kepada kedua sistem operasi ini, Android dan Windows Phone. Karena kedua sistem operasi tersebut lebih menonjol ketimbang lainnya, baik dalam hal fitur maupunaplikasi yang tersedia.Jika kita telaah sebentar,Perbedaan Android dan Windows Phoneyang pertama dari sisi pembuatnya.Android merupakan sistem operasi yang dinaungi oleh perusahaan ternama berjuluk Google.inc, sedangkan Windows Phone dikembangkan oleh Microsoft. Kedua produsen ini sama-sama tenar dan unggul di banding lainnya. Windows Phone cenderung lebih muda ketimbang Android.Perbedaan Android dan Windows PhoneNah, setelah kemunculan Windows Phone yang diusung produsen ternama seperti HTC dan Nokia dengan seri Lumianya, banyak yang berfikir dua kali antara pilih android atau Windows Phone. Oleh karena itu, Tabloid Gadget akan membahas tentangPerbedaan Android dan Windows Phone yang semoga menjadi bahan pertimbangan anda dalam memilihnya,Android dan windows phone adalah salah dua sistem operasi ponsel smartphone yang saat ini menguasai pasar ponsel global. Lihat aja jumlah pengguna ponsel samsung dengan OS android dan nokia lumia dengan windows phone yang meningkat luar binasa. Perbedaan mendasar dari dua OS ini adalah perusahaan yang mengembangkannya, Android dikembangkan oleh Google.inc dan Windows Phone dikembangkan oleh Microsoft. Selain hal mendasar itu, sebenarnya apa aja sih perbedaan antara kedua OS ini?Lets check it out guys!1.Ketersediaan aplikasiAndroid :OS ini berbasis linux,somemudahkan penggemar IT atau programmer membuat aplikasi barukarena aplikasi buatan mereka bebas didistribusikan dengan lisensi open source, shareware atau bahkan freeware. Inilah yang membuat ketersediaan aplikasi android begitu banyak dan mampu menembus angka 700.000 apps di bulan November 2012.Windows Phone :Windows Phone menyediakan Marketplace sebagai tempat mengunduh berbagai aplikasi. Dan menjadi peringkat ke-3 dalam jumlah aplikasi, tetapi aplikasi yang disediakan tergolong sedikit dibanding OS android. Windows Phone hanya mampu menembus angka 100.000 apps di bulan November 2012.2. KeamananAndroid :Akibat dari open source, banyak juga programmer usil membuat malware yang membuat keamanan OS android terancam. Malware ini bahkan dapat menyebabkan kehilangan seluruh data ponsel. Tapi hal ini dapat dicegah dengan berhati-hati menginstall aplikasi.Windows Phone :OS satu ini sudah diakui sebagai OS terama. Sampai saat ini belum ada malware yang mampu menembus keamanannya. Tapi dengan melihat pertumbuhan malware yang begitu pesat, ada kemungkinan OS ini bisa dibobol malware baru di kemudian hari.3. User Interface

Android:Dengan widget dan layout yang dapat diatur sesuai keinginan pengguna, user interface android tidak akan membosankan penggunanya. Tapi, harusnya android membuat user interface baru agar lepas dari bayang-bayang iOS :)

Windowsphone :Windows phone memiliki UI yang unik dan jauh berbeda dari Android maupun iOS. Mereka menyebutnya dengan modern UI yang dianggap UI simpel dibanding android.4. KoneksiAndroid :Memiliki kecepatan akses internet yang tinggi. Bisa terkoneksi dengan seluruh layanan google sepertiGMail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google+, dll. Notifikasi sms, email maupun jejaring sosial. Dan mudah untuk berbagi data, dengan menggunakan bluetooth maupun kabel data.Windows Phone :Memiliki kecepatan internet yang tinggi sama halnya dengan android. Windows Phone memiliki Integrasi yang lebih dalam dengan jejaring sosial karena memberikan notifikasi yangreal time.Hal yang kurang menyenangkan dari OS ini adalah saat ingin berbagi data. Windows phone 7 tidak menyediaan fitur bluetooth, sehingga memaksa pengguna mendownload aplikasi baru untuk memungkinkan mengirim foto. Saat ini fitur bluetooth baru disediakan di windows phone 8. Kendala juga terjadi saat kita ingin mentransfer data ke PC, kita juga harus menginstall zune terlebih dahulu agar bisa terkoneksi. Tapi kalo udah terkoneksi, mengintegrasi microsoft office windows phone ke PC sangat mudah. Hal ini gak bisa disangkal, secara pembuatnya perusahaan Microsoft sendiri :)

With the migration of consumers from feature phones to modern wonders such as theiPhone 5and theHTC One, or even the cheap as chips offerings like theNokia Lumia 520orHuawei Ascend G330, it is clear where the money, and the future lies.We've seen some impressive hardware come and go, quad-cores grace most flagship devices (i.e.Sony Xperia Zor HTC One) and there is even the quad/octa core that sits inside theSamsung Galaxy S4, dependent on your location.Needless to say, all the big guns in the tech industry have some level of input into the mobile OS world. Apple has iOS (just about to reachiOS 7), Google has Android, the most recent version being 4.2Jelly Bean, Microsoft hasWindows Phone 8, leaving BlackBerry with its hopes pinned onBB10.InterfaceThe iOS 7 interface is a radical new look compared with previous iterations. Although with a clean and modern new look, the formula based upon simplicity is one that has been stuck to. Icons have had an overhaul, and there is transparency through apps, giving iOS devices a more unified feel.

Users familiar with previous iOS versions may be in for a bit of a shock, with elements such as the lock screen taking a new look. Elements now seem more rounded, and much brighter than before. On the face of it, things seem very different with iOS 7, but the real changes go deeper.Android is currently sitting at version 4.2, which is another iteration of the popular Jelly Bean OS. Jelly Bean built upon the work done by 4.0Ice Cream Sandwich, with everything being much smoother with 'Project Butter', and the introduction of Google Now.

Pretty much every OEM has placed a skin over the top of Android, take a look at HTC's Sense, Samsung's Touchwiz or Huawei's Emotion UI.That said, nigh on every version builds on the use of multiple home screens populated with widgets, and apps being kept tidy in a 'drawer'.Microsoft's offering bases itself around a system of 'LiveTiles'. These are used in a similar way to widgets on Android, providing information at a quick glance. Users ofWindows Phone 7, orWindows 8on tablets or desktops will feel right at home.In terms of user customisation, much like iOS, Windows Phone 8 is relatively closed. Live Tiles can be resized, so that more important tiles can take up more screen real estate, and the tile colour can be any of 20 variations. It is also possible to change the lock screen, to bring up photos, or widgets and notifications.

Out of Canada comes BB10, with BlackBerry pinning pretty much all its hopes on the OS. In a similar way to Windows Phone 8, BB 10 allows 8 'Active Frames', of which only 4 are visible at one time.These show the most recent apps used, as well as any information that app may offer, be it weather or calendar events.Being a totally different OS to prior BlackBerry OS iterations, BB10 is at first a little confusing to use. Closing apps by running your finger up from the bottom of the screen feeling a little unnatural.The BlackBerry 10 lock screen comes complete with notifications, calendar events and ability to quick launch the camera.CameraBuying GuideBest Android phoneWith the Camera app being one of the most widely used features on the modern smartphone, it is only natural that every OS has given the camera a certain level of attention. One feature we are very fond of, that appears on iOS 7, pretty much every Android UI and BB10 is the ability to launch the app directly from the lock screen. Read our in-depthAndroid Jelly Bean reviewiOS 7 brings in a raft of changes to the camera app. There isn't a whole load of changes deep down, these being limited more to photo effects; varying lens shapes and live photo filters giving you the Instagram look, without having to use the app. Elsewhere, the interface has become more swipe-friendly.The Gallery app has also had a few tweaks, meaning that photo's are arranged by location, being titled 'moments'. Pinching to zoom will re-draw your library, highlighting days out or holidays. Pinching further shows an overview of the year's photos, complete with location tags.Android's camera app is one that gets a lick of paint with each UI that is placed over the top. Also, with the incredible variation in Android devices, each camera is different, the HTC One being most notable for camera tech with UltraPixel and HTC Zoe, or there is Samsung with Burst Mode found on theGalaxy S3or S4.Android Jelly Bean camera appThat said, there is an underlying theme that graces Android's camera and gallery app. Photo filters are common place, even the basic Android devices offer Sepia, Monochrome and Negative effects. Gallery apps are a little more varied, however most can pull down images from the cloud, from Picasa/Google+ web albums, with some going so far as Facebook albums too.Being a unified OS across all devices, Windows Phone 8 camera settings are common. Pinch to zoom has been brought in, and the ability to take photos by tapping the screen making the app feel a little more natural. There is also the idea of 'lenses', that allow you to use camera tools that you have downloaded, rather than via a separate app.Windows Phone 8 camera appBlackBerry was keen to show off their camera at the BB10 launch. The reason for this is something that the Canadians are terming 'Time Shift'. This is a nifty piece of tech that, if selected, allows you to go 'back in time' to find the perfect smile. It even works on multiple faces, however needs good lighting.BB10's other features include standard scene and shooting modes, as well as the ability to use the volume keys as a shutter button.Media, Apps and StorageBuying GuideBest Windows PhoneTheoriginal iPhonelaunch in 2007 put media on phones very much back in the spotlight. iOS7 continues that, given that it will be available on the 5th gen iPod Touch, as well as later iPad versions.iOS 7 now incorporates your iCloud stored media, allowing you to see all your tracks in one place, with a wall of album art in Landscape mode adding a nice look to things.The biggest revolution it brings isiTunes Radio, Apple's much rumoured and talked about music streaming service, previously dubbed iRadio. We are unable to comment on the exact release, with availability confirmed for 'this fall' in the US, with the rest of the world left waiting for news. We can say that there will be both a free (ad-funded) and premium service, though. Read our in-depthWindows Phone 8 reviewAs for apps, Apple's App Store is by far the most famous of all app stores/markets across all OS'. iOS7 brings in some updates, such as being able to search for apps based on age range, or the 'Apps near me' feature, which shows you the most popular apps in your location. Apps can also update in the background.Storing all this media, and all your apps is done in true Apple fashion, with varying sizes of internal storage available. MicroSD is still unsupported, although we never expected, nor ever expect that to change.Playing catch up in the media department, Google has launched its Play Books, Play Magazines, Play Movies and Play Music apps. Whilst nowhere near as popular as the iTunes version, media downloading is now a lot easier on Android devices.Downloading apps is also very easy, as Google's rebranded Play Store has become a very attractive and very functional marketplace, with different sections and lists of apps for you to peruse. Auto updating is available, and disable-able too.The Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry app stores are far less populated in comparison to both the Google and Apple offerings, although we would be doing them a disservice by calling their offerings sparse (BB10 has 120,000apps compared toiOS' 900,000),especially given that the Microsoft OS has Xbox compatibility.Since Android 2.2 Froyo, apps to microSD has been a standard feature, alongside its long supported media storage feature. App installation on microSD is also supported via Windows Phone 8, with standard microSD support also being available in BB10.NFCWithNFCslowly becoming more prevalent across devices, it has been noticed on the lower end handsets that we have reviewed (LG Optimus L5 2,Huawei Ascend G510,Samsung Galaxy Fameto name but a few), OS support is vital.NFC wasn't something that wasn't explicitly mentioned with the launch of iOS7. Until now, previous iOS devices haven't come with NFC chips. We could look into this and say things about upcoming iOS touting devices, such as the unlikelihood of NFC inclusion, with the claim that there's 'No need to wander around the room bumping your phone with others.' That said, apps will be able to share information via Airdrop, provided that it supports Share Sheet.

Android has supported NFC for a while. Android Beam has been used on devices to share data since Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Certain manufacturers have taken it a little further, with Samsung adding it's S title to create S Beam. Google's wallet application is also likely to make use of NFC as mobile payment becomes increasingly popular.Windows Phone 8 also packs in NFC support, with its very own Microsoft Wallet app to rival Google's version, and BlackBerry has long had NFC in its handsets so it's no surprise BB10 also makes use of the technology.Notifications and ControlNotifications are something that are very important across devices, giving quick access to Calendar events, Emails and Text messages. Device control is equally important.iOS 7 makes a big deal out of both notifications and Control. The notifications centre that was accessed by swiping down from the top has become a full-screen affair, also available via the lock screen.The Control Centre is where the real innovation lies, however. Previous iOS versions had a very basic centre, however now quick settings such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can be enabled or disabled, as well as controlling screen brightness, music being played, and access to AirDrop and AirPlay controls.

Android has had its notifications bar longer than Apple, so it has come on in leaps and bounds. Jelly Bean also brings in expandable notifications, showing more information about the top event, as well as being able to swipe to dismiss.Many custom UI's include access to the quick settings (Touchwiz has gotten this nigh on perfect) in the notifications bar. Android also include a Power Control widget that can be placed on home screens, giving quick access to a lot of important settings.Notifications aren't something that ever made it over to Windows Phone 8, however there arestrong suggestions that there is a notifications centre making it over in Windows Phone 8.1. Notifications are viewable from the lock screen. Read our in-depthBlackBerry 10 reviewWith BB10, there is a dedicated Notifications hub, accessed by swiping from the left hand side of the screen, as well as notifications that can be seen for individual apps such as Email, Texts or social networks.MapsGiven the kerfuffle surrounding the launch of iOS Maps on iOS 6, there was a disappointing lack of map based announcements with iOS7, although 'developers have been making great improvements to Maps', which will bring features such as being able to push mapping info from a Mac of MacBook to an iDevice.

There has been no such problems for mapping on Android, given that Google has managed to port across its Google Maps desktop browser application so successfully.Google maps provides one of the most comprehensive mapping apps available, as well as being able to provide information through its Local app, and sat-navving via the Navigation app.Google's recent acquisition of Wazeis going to throw in user based traffic updates as well.Microsoft has also got a decent map app. Bing maps brings over many features that were prevalent throughout Nokia phones of old, including Nokia's turn-by-turn directions from Nokia Drive. Other useful features include downloading maps for offline use, pinning favourite locations and Local Scout (similar to Google's Local).BB10 provides a basic mapping option as well, covering turn-by-turn and traffic updates. The app is a fairly basic affair, with fewer features than the other options available on other devices.BrowserYou would expect, given that it was the key to revolutionising mobile browsing, that Safari on iOS7 would be important. You wouldn't be wrong. The URL bar is now resizable, you can swipe through the history, and the bookmarks and tabs have had an overhaul.Bookmarks now sit on the home screen, drawing in data from your Twitter feed. Tabbing is no longer limited to 8, and is synchronised across multiple Apple devices through iCloud.

Since Ice Cream Sandwich, Google has mobilised its Chrome browser, which now interestingly sits alongside the native Android Internet app. We've not understood why both browsers are run side by side, but it provides a little choice. Google bookmarks can be synced across, and incognito browsing is available too.Internet Explorer is available on Windows Phone 8 devices, with the version being nearly identical to IE10, even if it looks a little different. Internet Explorer is a very accomplished mobile browser overall, and comes with the Do Not Track feature by default, as well as SmartScreen phishing protection.BB10's browser is a minimalist design, with the URL at the bottom of the page, akin to IE on Windows Phone 8. BB10 does pack in some useful features, such as a Reader mode that lifts text and images, making it more readable. We also found that the BB10 browser was lightning fast, which is a major tick in anybody's book.Multi-TaskingiOS7 brings more changes to the Multi-tasking window as well. No longer does a swipe from the bottom bring up recently used apps, but a newer interface that shows information from the app screen, as well as the app icons along the bottom. What to know more? Check out ouriOS 7 release date, news and featuresGoogle's multi-tasking has been handled for a long time through the long press of the home button, if the device has one, or through the dedicated button on total touch screen devices. This brings up a quick window of what was last on the app whilst you were using it, and can be swiped to dismiss.Windows Phone 8 has a similar method of bringing up its multi-tasking window. Long pressing the back button brings up the multi-tasking screen, allowing users to flick across to the app they wish to use.RIM have implemented a multi-tasking action, which is vaguely reminiscent of cards on WebOS. The Canadians call this 'Cascades', accessed by swiping left to right. BB10 also uses the multi-tasking screen on the home page we mentioned earlier, that gives access to your eight most recently used apps, shown four at a time.AvailabilityBuying guide20 best mobile phones in the world todayApple have said that iOS7 will be available on a large amount of its iDevices, from the iPhone 4 upwards, iPad 2 and up, iPad Mini and iPod Touch 5th generation. iOS7 is due to launch 'this fall', and we would highly expect it to launch alongside at least one new iDevice, theiPhone 5S/6,iPad 5oriPad Mini 2.Android Jelly Bean has been around for two years now, available on devices from multiple OEMs, and with devices now being launched 4.1 or 4.2. There is a lot of talk of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean also being released at some point this year, and rumours of theKey Lime Pie(Android 5.x) also being launched this year.It is available on the highest end devices, from a variety of OEMs, such as the five starHTC One, and at the bottom end of the market on devices such as theLG Optimus L3 2.Windows Phone 8 is also available on devices from different OEMs, with Nokia Lumia devices being the most talked about. HTC, Samsung and Huawei also have their own devices out and about.Talk of Windows Phone Blue, or 8.1 has also been bandied about, with an expected release alongside Windows 8.1. Current devices span the market, again from a variety of OEMs, with the high endNokia Lumia 925, or the low endLumia 520.BB10 is unavailable on all new BlackBerry devices, the BlackBerry Z10, Q10 and Q5. Being a whole new OS, it is unavailable on previous BB7 toting devices.As for BB10 on thePlayBook, your guess is as good as our at this point, with BlackBerry's 2012 annual conference stating that it would make its way across, although 12 months later, there is still no update. Being an all new OS, BB10 is now available on theBlackBerry Z10,BlackBerry Q10andannounced BlackBerry Q5.Early verdictBest phone dealsSave up to 40% on your mobile phone contractThe iOS7 launch is arguably as important to the Cupertino-based firm since Steve Jobs first took the stage in 2007 to launch the original iPhone.A number of previous devices (iPhone 4, 4S, 5, iPad 2, 3, 4, iPad Mini and iPod Touch 5th generation) will be getting the update, with the OS also being a major precursor to the upcoming iPhone 5S/6, iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2.Apple therefore has a very large existing customer base ready to upgrade, with those on earlier iDevices also potentially looking to the launches of the next line of products. iOS is also highly successful in the business market, as well as the personal market.It is therefore almost impossible to say that iOS7 will be a flop, after all the trouble that Apple maps gave iOS6, it is still very popular. Android is Apple's biggest worry, with Windows Phone 8 and BB10 making strides through the mobile market, yet still not as firmly established.Android handsets are still the most popular on a world wide scale, but only just over a third are actually running Jelly Bean, with the fragmentation the major negative point against what is a highly versatile platform.iOS7 will be massive, but don't forget it is really just the first OS refresh to launch this year, with Windows Phone 8.1, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and/or 5.0 Key Lime Pie likely to arrive later in 2013. Expect to see the competition really heating up.

ByMihaita Bamburic Published 3 months ago 55 Comments inShare2

Adopting Windows Phone 8, and ditching Android, was one of the most daring decisions that I have ever made in my entire tech life. I am the sort of person who does not warm up to major changes (not my strong suit), especially ones that involve transitioning between two polarizing mobile platforms. But, surprisingly, I gave up the flexibility and versatility of the green droid operating system for the glanceable information and simplicity of Windows Phone. Admittedly, itwas not smooth sailingfrom day one.The problem is that, in order to fully adjust to the change, something has got to give, namely features that I consider to be essential for a modern-day smartphone operating system. For some they may not matter as much, but others -- like me, and maybe you -- are likely to be left wanting for more. And, no, I am not talking about widgets, themes, root or Instagram (it, however, seems to be the tech media's favorite blaming toy even though there are good third-party alternatives), but rather more down-to-earth, mundane ones.Without further ado, here's my list of ten things that I miss about Android.1. In-Depth Personalization OptionsI often struggle to interpret the sounds that my Nokia Lumia 920 makes, and it's not because of low-quality speakers (far from it, in fact). The problem is that, unlike Android, Windows Phone 8 doesn't allow me to set individual notification sounds on a per-app basis. A Twitter mention alert sounds the same as a Facebook one, and there's nothing that I can do to change that.Similarly, Windows Phone 8 also does not allow one to set individual sound levels, for notifications, apps and multimedia content. Android does -- you can have music playing at half-volume and, when someone calls, the smartphone rings at full-volume. Or, mute notifications when you want to hear your favorite tune playing quietly in the background. A simple control panel would get the job done but, at least for now, no such option exists.2. LED Notification LightMost (if not all) Android smartphones feature an LED notification light, which starts flashing in various colors whenever there is a new notification. This way, folks do not have to constantly check their smartphones just to see if there's a new email or SMS message. It's a minor feature, but one that has a major impact over the user experience.By contrast, no such counterpart exists on Windows Phone 8 handsets. That said, the HTC Windows Phone 8X featuresan LED notification light but, sadly, it only lights up whenever the smartphone is running low on battery or the charging is complete. Smartphones like the Lumia 920 offer no such hardware feature.3. Control TogglesAndroid makers, like Samsung, allow users to quickly toggle between various states for built-in software and hardware features through dedicated widgets or panels. Disabling Wi-Fi, for instance, takes only a couple of seconds.On Windows Phone 8, one has to go through the Settings menu and look up the adjacent sub-menu and then flip the switch. It's not as straightforward. Admittedly, there are third-party apps for this but they only provide shortcuts rather than actionable toggles.4. File ManagerEven though file managers may not be as essential as social networking apps, they do hold a special place for Android enthusiasts. Such offerings allow users to handle (move or delete, for instance) locally-stored files, without connecting the smartphone to a computer and performing changes from the outside.While it may seem like an unneeded app, there's a case to be made for it on Windows Phone 8 as well. Any incoming transfers, or downloads that are made on the internal storage cannot be managed without, again, connecting the smartphone to a computer. This oversight also makes sharing files a bit more difficult, as one has to navigate to an app which can handle such content.5. Browser SyncOne of my favorite things about Android was the fact that the Google Chrome app would sync with its desktop counterpart, which made the browsing experience more enjoyable. All my desktop bookmarks, passwords and even tabs would make their way onto my smartphone as well. I could pick up what I was looking at on my laptop on my Android handset, on the go.After switching to Windows Phone 8 I had to give this feature up. When compared to Google Chrome on Android, Internet Explorer is quite basic, only offering basic features like the ability to locally-save passwords, manage tabs and improve the browsing security through external services.6. App Feature-ParityPopular Android apps rarely come without features which are available on other platforms. Evernote, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, to name a few, always bring the latest and greatest to the green droid operating system, while on Windows Phone (if the apps exist) users have to wait months even to get the most-recently added features.Evernote cannot be used to create notebooks, Facebook does not have a security code generator and Twitter has yet to implement any two-factor authentication-related functionality, just to give you a couple of example as to how major developers implement the latest features in their Windows Phone 8 apps.7. Timely App ReleasesSimilarly to the aforementioned point, Android also gets most popular app and game titles (well, at least shortly after iOS), while Windows Phone 8 users have to wait quite a bit of time until even the first installment in the series is released. Older offerings like Pandoraarrivedon the tiled smartphone operating system only earlier this year, while on Android the app was offered since 2009.Case in point to the late game releases is Temple Run, which waslaunchedon Windows Phone 8 two years after the game made its way on other platforms. And, what's worse, newer titles have also been launched in the meantime.8. Contextual And Local Search ResultsAndroid users have Google Now and Windows Phone 8 users have... a robotic-sounding male or female voice that does not respond back. The former provides comprehensive features, from replying with the outside temperature to giving indications to a nearby shop. Meanwhile, the latter can only power up Bing Search and perform a query and, at best, allow users to dictate some voice controls to the few apps that support this.What I find the most troublesome is that Google Now works decently well in the land of Dracula, while the Windows Phone 8 counterpart can't even show me nearby coffee shops, let alone point me to a mobile operator's store in a new city.9. Extensive Browser Sharing OptionsVarious Android offerings can integrate into the browser's built-in sharing menu, allowing users to send links to read-it-later type of apps (like Pocket). When stumbling upon things that I wanted to check out later, I could save the webpage's link for an in-depth reading with Evernote or Pocket.On Windows Phone 8, Internet Explorer only allows users to send the links to someone else or another device, via emails, messages, social networks or Xbox, but not to an existing app like Evernote or Pouch (a third-party Pocket client). As a result, I find that it's best to rely as little as possible on Internet Explorer for such tasks, which is a shame as the browser should allow users to do more things rather then limit them to an established path.10. Notifications CenterAndroid, in my opinion, is the best smartphone operating system at aggregating and managing all notifications from various apps and games, into a single place. Notifications are actionable, users can individually dismiss them and, generally speaking, it's a very well though-out system.Windows Phone 8 does provide some notifications via toasts and live tiles, but it's difficult to pinpoint the source of one at times. The smartphone rings and, if it's not a lockscreen-enabled app (which can show a counter), I have to scroll through the Start screen just to find the information that I need. Sometimes I have to wait a bit for the live tile to update or flip, in order to see what I came to find.Microsoft is undoubtedly working on a notification center, but until that day when us, Windows Phone 8 users, can actually use it we are stuck with lesser functionality. Similarly, Android switchers will have to adopt to the different (and older) way of doing things.Change Can Be Good (Or Not)Windows Phone 8 still has a long way to go until it can catch up with Android, in terms of functionality. But, that's not necessarily a bad thing, as the tiled smartphone operating system is, at least for now, very clean when it comes to its overall design (both under-the-hood and on the outside). The problem, for first-time users coming from Android, is that it can be too stripped-down. Whether you can live with it or not, it's up to you to decide.

http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2013/09/14/windows-phone/So, theiPhone event came and went, people argued onApples innovation credentials, theAndroid vs. iOS debatereared its head again. Another week in this bubble we call tech.Given that the Android and iOS stranglehold on the smartphone marketexceeds 90%, its understandable why they tend to dominate the headlines from a mobile perspective. And with BlackBerry looking set togo the way of the dodo as a smartphone manufacturer, at least that pretty much leaves Microsofts Windows Phone as the onlyrealcontender to the status quo out there (Firefox OS, yeah yeah), though admittedly it languishes far behind in third place.But a lot of change is afoot at Microsoft Towers: Ballmer ismaking way for a new CEO, and it finally caved in andsnapped up Nokias Devices and Services division. One last big throw of the dice for Windows Phone, guided by a new visionary. Perhaps.However, the one giant stick in the mud is apps. Or lack thereof. The issue has been a perennial pain in the posterior for Windows Phone, as it looks to play catch-up with iOS and Android.Few people question the quality of the Windows Phone 8-hosting Nokia devices its flagship Lumia handsets are solid and beautiful, offering arguably the best camera functionality of any smartphone. We called the Lumia 1020 acamera that makes calls. And Windows Phone 8 with its Live Tiles is a refreshing departure from the square-icon-laden interfaces of Android and iOS.Theres no question that Windows Phone is a compelling proposition, but its all about the apps, right?The state of playWe took a quick peruse through some of thetop AndroidandiOS apps, and checked which were available on Windows Phone, and which arent. And were talking official here, meaning that its produced either by the company itself or by Microsoft/Nokia. As youd expect, many are missing in action.What there isntTheres no Google Maps, but there is the home-grownMapsandHere Maps, and while theres no official Gmail app there are some reasonablethird-party efforts, plus you can set up nativeGoogle Sync supportwith your Windows Phone. Theres no Chrome either, though there is abizarre pseudo-Chrome appthat redirects to Internet Explorer.Theres no Instagram app yet, but theres adecent third-party effort, plus thereisan officialHipstamaticapp. And because Googles attention lies elsewhere,YouTubehas arrived on the scene via Microsofts own developersbut due to aseries of squabbles, Google is currently blocking access.They may be coming soon, but still no sign of Vine, Path or Flipboard. Dropbox is missing too, as is SoundCloud, RunKeeper and Yahoo Mail, though a reasonablethird-partyincarnation exists for that. Throw into the mix no Firefox, Airbnb, Snapchat, Uber, Wikipedia and Pinterest, and its clear that many companies have yet to embrace Windows Phone.The point to all this, of course, is that yes, there are many apps missing from Windows Phone. But you knew that already. On the flip side, however, there are probably more first-party native Windows Phone apps than you thought, and Microsoft has the financial clout to try and push for more.What there isThe likes ofSkype(naturally),Twitter,WhatsApp,BBC iPlayer(UK),Amazon,Amazon Kindle,Angry Birds,TuneIn Radio,Shazam,Spotify,Netflix,Evernote,PayPal,LinkedIn,Tumblr,WordPress,Foursquare,LivingSocial, andRuntasticare all present and correct. So iseBay, though its lacking a little functionality.IMDb, too, has an app but it hasnt had much in the way of updates for a while, similar toGoogle Search, whileRdiolacks some basic functionality compared to its iOS and Android bretherns. But there is a fully functionalWords With Friendscourtesy of Zynga, which will please many would-be defectors. The less said aboutFart Machine, the better.Whatno Facebook? Actually, there is Microsoft has taken the troubleto develop an incarnation off its own steam, given that Zuck & Co. havent bothered. As for Groupon, well,Nokia sorted that one out.There are are many, many more little ditties on the Windows Phone Store too, fromcalculatorstoflight search engines. And when you consider that all you really need is an Internet connection and a mobile browser, theres no real reason why Windows Phoneshouldntappeal to large segments of the smartphone-buying population.So whydoesntit?Self-fulfilling prophecyFor me and many reading this, the lack of so many native appsisof course a problem. But Id go as far to say that many if not most people dont really care about a large percentage of these apps.My mum, girlfriend, buddies, postman they would all get by absolutely fine on Windows Phone. They dont use Vine, Uber or Snapchat on their iPhones and Androids. Working in the technology industry, be it as a programmer, marketer or journalist, this can blind us to what people actually want from their smartphones.Windows Phones big problem is a lack of apps AAANND repeat. We seem to have repeated it so many times that its become a self-fulfilling prophecy.Id posit that a good browser, Facebook, Twitter, Kindle, YouTube, Spotify, email, maps and directions, camera and perhaps a few others are ample for many people. But the fact remains peoplearentditching Android and iOS for Windows Phone, so Im not convinced its entirely down to a lack of native apps. Not directly, at least.Word-of-mouth plays a big part in the gadgets that non-techies buy, and Microsoft cant quite get that mindshare among the general smartphone-buying populace because the message thats trickling down from those in the know (developers, techies, journalists and so on) is that Android and iOS are the only worthwhile mobile platforms because of their app-count. And thus, in a roundabout sort of way, a lack of apps does indeed become one of Windows Phones biggest problems. Just not for the reason everyone cites.Its understandable why more developers dont pay a lot of attention to Windows Phone it doesnt have the user base to justify it. But Microsoft could conceivably get all the missing in action apps we mention above and it wouldnt make a difference what it has to really do is get inside the minds of the general public, and keeping things simple is key.Keep it simple, stupid

Despite Android being the most dominant mobile operating system, itstill plays second fiddle to iOSfrom an apps perspective.Its very unusual foranyapp to hit Android before iOS, and some apps can take their time to make it to Android at all. Vinetook six months to hit Androidafter iPhone, whileInstagram took more than a year. Nike+ Fuelband?18 months on, were still waiting. And there aremany littlenon-big-brandindependent appsthatare fantastic, but will never see the light of day on Android. Its also worth adding that Google is far less stringent on the quality of apps that pass through its gates compared to Apple.Yes, Android has app problems of its own. Much of this has been put down to the fragmentation of Android devices a myriad of form factors and OS versions are difficult to cater for, with iOS theres really just the iPhone and iPad. So why does Android flourish? The answer is simple Google.The Internet giant had already emerged as a dominant online player while Microsoft was still resting on its Office and Windows laurels. As such, it was well-positioned to embrace the cloud, with Google Docs, Maps, Earth, Search and an innovative new email service called Gmail. It also saw the future of mobile andacquired Androidway back in 2005. Throw everything together into a giant melting pot, make it open source so any OEM can use it, add a pinch of Google+, and you have one mighty mobile giant.Microsoft has elements of this too it has taken Office to the cloud, given Hotmail the elbow for Outlook, introduced Bing Maps and Search and has Windows Phone. But it all just feels a little too late Google had gained the mindshare of the mobile online masses establishing a firm foothold and, well, thats difficult to budge. As for Apple, well, the quality of its hardware was ahead of the competition from the start, and it pretty much kickstarted the app ecosystem we all see today.But now that Microsoft owns Nokias mobile business, it has to start simplifying its device-range. I startedlosing trackof thenumber of handsetsNokiasent to marketthis year alone, some featuring Windows Phone, some not.Under Microsofts stewardship, it should phase out many of these devices at least from a marketing perspective. It should also lose theS40operating system. It needs to keep things simple, focus on a handful of low-, mid- and high-end phones. If it can strike the right balance between the singularity of iOS and fragmentation of Android with 3 or 4 really notable devices, it can simplify its marketing message and hopefully see some growth. This may even mean restricting Windows Phone to Nokia devices, letting HTC, Huawei and Samsung put all their eggs in Androids basket.Also, if theres one thing Microsoft has, its money. Armed with a few flagship phones, it can strike more partnerships with high street retailers to position its handset(s) front-and-center when people walk in-store.So yes, Windows Phone needs to get more quality native apps, but that isnt the root of its problems. Its merely a symptom of the overarching problem, which is this perception thateverybodyneeds tonnes of apps on their smartphone. If all those people who are content with just a few of the big-name apps, Internet Explorer and a good mobile camera got on board with Windows Phone, the native apps would take care of themselves in due course, once developers realized it was a viable platform.But over and above all this, theres one thing Microsoft certainly shouldnotdo. Itshouldnt mock its competitors in such a crass manner, because it smacks of desperation and doesnt reflect well on the company. Does it really believe that by bad-mouthing Apple it will tempt people on board with Windows Phone? Its crazy, and whoever takes over the reins from Ballmer should put their foot down fast.Photo credit:Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images

http://www.gadgetasli.com/article/perbedaan-blackberry-ios-android-dan-windows-phone/57/Perbedaan Blackberry, iOS, Android dan Windows PhoneGadgetAsli.com- Setiap gadget menggunakan operating system (OS) atau sistem operasi agar dapat bekerja optimal dan memberi keunikan kepada pengguna gadget dengan beragam fitur yang ditawarkan. Pengembang OS berkompetensi dengan waktu dan pesaing mereka agar dapat merebut pasar pengguna gadget yang terus berkembang.

Pada awal abad ke-21 kita hanya mengenal Windows sebagai satu-satunya sistem operasi terpopuler untuk perangkat komputer. Saat ini kita mengenal setidaknya lima operating system terpopuler di dunia yang dibenamkan dalam perangkat komunikasi seluler, yaitu Blackberry, iPhone OS (iOS), Symbian, Android, dan Windows Phone. Mari kita bahas perbedaan Blackberry, iOS, Android dan Windows Phone.Blackberry OSSistem operasi Blackberry dikembangkan oleh perusahaanRIM, Research in Motion, untuk ditanamkan pada semua jenis ponsel Blackberry (BB) produksi mereka. Blackberry OS hanya bisa dipakai pada smartphone Blackberry, tidak bisa untuk gadget lain. Blackberry OS bekerja secara multitasking dan dilengkapi fasilitas trackball, touchscreen, trackwheel, dan trackpad.Fitur unggulan dari Blackberry OS adalah Blackberry Messenger (BBM) dan Push Mail. BBM adalah fitur komunikasi BlackBerry yang bekerja serupa dengan Yahoo Messenger (YM) dan Google Talk (GTalk). Sedangkan Push Email memudahkan pengguna gadget BB untuk membuka email secara mudah dan cepat dari smartphone mereka.iPhone OS (iOS)iOS dikembangkan oleh perusahaanAppledan digunakan secara eksklusif pada gadget produksi Apple. Sama seperti sistem operasi Blackberry, iOS hanya bisa dipakai pada perangkat smartphone tertentu. Saat ini teknologi iOS mendukung performa perangkat mobile seperti iPad, Apple TV, dan iPod Touch. Versi terbaru operating system ini adalah iOS 6.iOS mampu menjalankan perintah suara (Voice Commands), reading list, call filtering, call reply actions, dan video chatting dengan koneksi 3G maupun WiFi. Bagi Anda yang menyukai aktifitas berjejaring sosial, iOS mendukung integrasi akun Facebook dan Twitter Anda sehingga lebih mudah berbagi cerita menarik ke teman-teman dan relasi.Android OSAndroid Operating System dikembangkan olehGoogle Inc. dan merupakan open source (platform terbuka) yang memungkinkan pengguna gadget Android menciptakan beragam aplikasi sesuai kebutuhan. Saat ini Android tumbuh sebagai OS yang paling banyak digunakan pada perangkat ponsel pintar (smartphone) di seluruh dunia. OS Android memiliki ribuan aplikasi dan jumlahnya terus bertambah.Upgrade OS Android terus berjalan dengan versi terbaru Android 4.0. Versi OS Android memiliki nama-nama unik berdasarkan menu makanan, misalnya Android 1.5 Cupcake, Android 1.6 Donut, Android 2.2 Frozen Yoghurt (Froyo), Android 2.3 GingerBread, dan Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Karena bersifat openSource, OS Android bisa diterapkan pada beragam gadget yang mendukung komunikasi mobile.Windows PhoneWindows Phone pada awal kemunculannya bernama Pocket PC lalu berubah nama menjadi Windows Mobile (2003) dan Windows Phone (2010). Sistem operasi ini dikembangkan olehMicrosoft Corp. dan digunakan untuk perangkat mobile buatan mereka. Versi terbaru OS smartphone Microsoft ini adalah Windows Phone 7.5 dan mendukung fitur Photo Streaming melalui SkyDrive.Sama seperti iOS, OS Windows Phone memiliki fitur content sharing, Facebook integration, dan Twitter integration. Windows Phone dikembangkan menurut Cloud Computing (komputasi awan) dengan sejumlah layanan menarik seperti SkyMarket, SkyLine, dan SkyBox. Cloud Computing dapat berjalan dengan optimal pada jaringan internet dengan kualitas andal.Itulah perbedaan mendasar dari operating systemblackberry, ios, android maupun windows phone. Jadi pilih gadget apa, sudah tahukan operating systemnya?

http://portal.paseban.com/review/8990/perbandingan-smartphoneSekarang ini ada banyak merek smartphone yang beredar di industri mobile Indonesia. Semakin hari pembuatnya bertambah dari waktu ke waktu karena semakin hari peminatnya juga semakin meningkat. Smartphone terkenal seperti BlackBerry, iPhone, Android, dan Windows Phone inilah yang banyak digemari.

Dalam artikel kali ini Paseban akan melakukan perbandingan smartphone antara BlackBerry, Android, iPhone, dan Windows Phone. Jika dilihat sekilas semua smartphone tersebut serupa tapi tak sama. Setiap merek memiliki keistimewaan sendiri-sendiri, yang akan menunjukkkan perbedaan yang jauh berbeda satu sama lain.

Berikut ini perbandingan smartphone tersebut ditinjau dari segi kelebihan dan kelemahannya. Mungkin dengan hasil komparasi ini akan dapat membantu menentukan pilihan smartphone yang sesuai dengan keinginan Anda.

BlakBerry

BlackBerry merupakan produk buatan Research In Motion (RIM). BlackBerry adalah smartphone bisnis yang dilengkapi dengan ratusan aplikasi yang tersedia di BB App World.

Keistimewaan BlackBerry terletak pada Messenger-nya, sehingga smartphone satu ini disebut sebagai mobile instant messenger. Meski sebenarnya messenger ini juga tidak terlalu unggul jika dibanding dengan messenger lain yang sekarang sudah banyak tersebar seperti Whatsapp, Viber dan Skype.

Aspek bisnis smartphone BlackBerry ini terlihat dari serangkaian fitur keamanan yang ditawarkan seperti enkripsi data dan smartcard. Dilengkapi dengan fasilitas push-mail, yang memungkinkan Anda untuk membuka email dengan cepat melalui smartphone secara otomatis. Tapi tampaknya sistem operasi lain juga sudah banyak yang menawarkan fitur yang sejenis.

BlackBerry adalah smartphone untuk komunikasi real time. Jika Anda menginginkan ponsel multifungsi dengan fitur chatting maka BlackBerry adalah pilihan yang tepat. Smartphone ini juga cocok digunakan untuk semua umur dan profesi.

Android

Android merupakan sistem operasi besutan Google Inc yang berbasis Linux. Android menyediakan platform yang terbuka bagi para penggunanya untuk mengembangkan aplikasi mereka sendiri. Syarat dan ketentuan bagi para pengembang aplikasi di Android jauh lebih ringan daripada Apple, sehingga wajar jika sekarang aplikasinya lebih banyak dari Apple. Browser yang dimiliki Android tergolong cepat, termasuk saat membuak website dengan flash. Produsen penyedia smartphone ini juga banyak sekali seperti Samsung, HTC, Motorola, LG, dan lain-lain.

Sayangnya, Android memiliki fungsi pencarian yang kurang akurat dan masih banyak ditemukan aplikasi yang kurang berguna. Untuk membeli aplikasi berbayar pada Android market juga hanya bisa dilakukan menggunakan kartu kredit.

Pilihan terhadap Android jatuh bila Anda menyukai smartphone multifungsi dengan browser yang baik. Android biasanya banyak digunakan di kalangan mahasiswa, eksekutif, profesional, pegawai, dll.

iPhone

iPhone yang menggunakan sistem operasi iOS adalah smartphone buatan Apple yang sangat populer. iPhone unggul dalam hal penggunaan sistem yang mudah dan aplikasi third party yang selalu konsisten dengan Apple. Dengan adanya iTunes membuat pengelolaan file di iPhone semakin mudah ditambah dengan pencarian aplikasi di App Store yang hingga saat ini masih menjadi yang terlengkap. Salah satu keistemewaan iPhone adalah sebagai mobile multimedia player yang terbaik.

Meskipun iPhone terkenal sebagai smartphone yang user-friendly dengan interface-nya, iPhone kurang fleksibel dalam dalam melakukan penyesuaian tertentu bagi penggunanya. Interkoneksi di iPhone juga lumayan merepotkan. Pihak Apple tampaknya memang tidak merancang iPhone untuk saling menukar lagu atau video ke sesama penggunanya dengan mudah.

Jika Anda sedang membutuhkan multifungsi handphone digandeng dengan fungsi game player, photo viewer, music player dan video player, iPhone adalah pilihan yang sempurna untuk entertainment.

Windows Phone

Sepertinya belum banyak yang tahu bahwa Microsoft juga memiliki sistem operasi untuk ponsel yang diberi nama Windows Phone. Aplikasi Windows Phone sangat jauh berbeda dengan iPhone dan Android. Jumlah aplikasinya juga masih tergolong sedikit karena memang masih baru di industri sistem operasi ponsel.

Yang menarik dari Windows Phone ini, user interface nya yang modern dan relative berani sehingga tampak berbeda dengan lainnya. Diferensiasi ini sengaja dilakukan agar terlihat berbeda diluar pesaingnya. Namun hal ini belum tentu mendapat respon positif apalagi untuk pengguna yang sudah terbiasa menggunakan iPhone dan Android. Selain itu, Windows Phone memiliki document explorer yang lebih mudah dan ringkas.

Karena memang masih baru, banyak potensi pada mobile platform ini yang belum optimal. Misalnya aplikasi third-party tidak bisa berjalan di latar belakang, tidak ada folder, dan akses multimedia yang harus melalui Zune.

Windows Phone adalah smartphone untuk keperluan office yang handal. Pilihan terhadap Windows Phone akan sangat tepat jika Anda menyukai smartphone dengan fungsi dokumen editing.

Ringkasan

BlackBerry adalah smartphone instant messenger yang paling detail. Android memiliki mobile internet browser yang paling solid dibanding lainnya. iPhone unggul dalam multimedia player yang dimilikinya. Sementara itu, Windows Phone adalah smartphone dengan document explorer yang paling komprehensif.

Dengan perbandingan smartphone diatas, jika Anda menginginkan fitur yang lengkap maka mempunyai smartphone lebih dari satu bukanlah hal yang berlebihan, mengingat adanya banyak perbedaan dari tiap smartphone. [RK]
