    100+ reasons not to buy a windows phone 7.5

    I hear people ranting about multi tasking... you have background agents which do that..the application needs to be developed using that in mind. What's the point of having a program run in background when you cannot see it or use it? I wrote a program which tracked location of the user at a...

    if you are a budget user then try for samsung focus (from ebay) which is less than 15,000 or the Omnia W for 17500. If you want to go for an awesome phone just go for Lumia 800, it is just gorgeous.
