Another thing you won't see on fanboys sites like engadget, the verge, gizmodo, and gsm arena - The N900 whipping the GS2's ass even before it's official release
Isn't this a "which smartphone is better" poll? so.... what happened here? because even the Windows lovers know the nexus is a way better phone, it may not be for everyone but that doesn't mean its not better. I don't like Porsche, but i know its better than a Honda. What a joke of a poll.
iphone MASRERRACE
You Android fan boys make me laugh.
Low-end phones give Android a bad name?
For crying out loud, the VAST MAJORITY of Android phones are low-end. A Galaxy Nexus may point to Android's potential, but the the Android reality is of buggy low end phones whose owners ask people like me for help to use. I am left with the dilemma of hanging my friends out to dry or subsidising Google by providing free IT support to their bewildered owners.
Take for instance, a colleague of mine. Having seen me fly with my HD7, he wanted a similar experience so went for an HTC Desire S. The first phone would, on occasion, boot up before crashing - the poor man couldn't even put his owner information on the thing. So, while still paying the increased tariff for the Desire S, he had to go back to his dumb phone.
A week later No.2 arrived and I was asked to help with the calendar function. It turns out that the calendar on Android devices can't even handle a rotating shift, which MILLIONS of people across the world have to work. No, he has to pay for a shift worker app, which may or may not upload his entire address book and any financial details to a Russian gangster intent on identity theft, because Google do NOTHING to stop such malware getting on to even its own marketplace. Not to worry though, because phone No.2 started to crash a week in after my colleague had input his entire contacts list in BY HAND.
Another week, at full tariff, phone No.3 arrives and this is the good one in that it doesn't lose the data when it crashes. My colleague is tired of complaining and is putting up with it and it crashes less often now he's taken my advice and restarts his phone every week. The phone is littered with apps he never uses, chews the battery like electricity is going out of fashion and the look of bewilderment on his face when his internet access was throttled, because he'd gone over his allowance will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Contrast that with my HD7, which in 10 months use has never crashed and despite a tiny 1000Mah battery easily lasts all day despite heavy use. I have fewer apps, but they all get used and I have reason to believe my data is secure, because like Apple, Microsoft perform tests before allowing an app on to their marketplace. The interface is still sugar-smooth and constantly updates, keeping me in touch with my friends and interests. I didn't need to buy a special app, because the Microsoft calendar can handle repeat appointments and I can check in seconds whether I'm free on any particular day; instead of using two different programs.
Most people are not geeks and don't care how many cores their processor has. They want functionality and don't want to pay extra to get it. They want a phone which is reliable and does what they want in the way they want to do it and they want their business to be exactly that: THEIRS without being snooped on by Google and whatever nefarious criminal wrote the app they are using.
With a Lumia 710, that's what they get. Microsoft don't sell advertising, so if you want to be spied on you have to load a Google app. A Windows Phone doesn't require you to interpret and remember and icon, because it speaks to you in your own language.
That's how a Lumia 710 can be better than a Galaxy Nexus or even an iPhone, because it works for its user, not its maker.
Samsung has no great mark in the history when it comes to build quality. Of course that doesnt mean that they break easily, but its true. Nokia has a lot of reputations when it comes to build quality. Seriously talking when it comes to build quality, iPhone is the only (extremely) serious rival. So I feel the pole is fair.
The final of this is just funny. The nokia fan boys must have been up all night as it still wasn't close yesterday when I left work. The only reason this happened is because Android people didn't give a crap about this survey and WP people saw it as their moment to shine.
Awesome! An all Nokia dnd Windows Phone final. And to all those sour people who thought the poll was rigged just because they lost. No it wasn't rigged, support was got from all Nokia fan sites and Twitter. Go figure!
This wasnt rigged, this poll has been posted on almost all Nokia pages (by me mostly :P) on Facebook and people have voted for the phone they support. That not "cheating" and it certainly doesnt mean the poll is rigged...
Wow, didn't no you could rig a poll this bad. Nexus had 7000 votes by noon yesterday and apparently got no votes for the rest of the day while the Lumia at that time had less than 1000 and made up 6000 votes?

@RicHkiDD You are so rude man.. You are kinda racism! Please respect everyone regardless race, language or religion. I am Apple fan and I know how to pledge myself as one united nation. I am not that rude as you!!!
Its true...
It ridiculous to see Nokia LUmnia 710 competing against this superb galaxy nexus..
Really this is not fair..
I had an opportunity to hold HTC HD7 a window phone
I explored it for 8 HRs.. Its as empty as an empty vessel... Its too borin...
You can't compare any Window phone to android phone...
Even if the android is a loe end phone...
The Os itself has condemn any window phone..
And I expect lumnia to have such votes cos I know Indian people will come vote for their beloved nokia...
Indian people are still blind to see life has gone out of Nokia!
I have the Lumia 800 and used to have a Nexus S (previous model of the Galaxy Nexus fyi).
Both operating systems (WP 7.5 and ICS) are beautiful and full of features.
So deciding which is better is very hard- I have chosen the WP Phone, sacrificing some features but liberating myself from the paranoia of Google (thrown out Facebook-integration...). I need a phone that works and where everything is seamlessly combined together. And my Lumia does that.
And Nokia Drive is a great GPS software. Please don't compare it to Google Maps. With Nokia Drive, you can actually do everything offline (!)- like a normal GPS for the car. A program you normally pay 50$+ for (with Maps all over the world included!).
i HAVE A NOKIA LUMIA 710. AND IM SO HAPPY WITH MY PHONE. I HAD A LOTS OF GREAT FEATURES. I REALLY LOVE MY PHONE. NOKIA LUMIA IS AWESOME. YOU SHOULD HAVE TO TRY.
"We weren’t trilled with the stiff front buttons and the lack of a front-facing camera, or with the grainy photos we took in low light, but the Lumia 710 does offer free GPS navigation." Really,... why is this phone even allowed to go up against the Nexus, LMAO...
Mark- my galaxy nexus does not look anything like an iOS device. Apps are in a drawer, not on the desktop. Android itself is a feature rich OS. Freeware and open source are different. Do some reading bud. There is still licensing involved in manufacturing an android phone. Have you owned a top tier android device? Guessing not. If you had you wouldn't be babbling. Everything is perfectly synced to your Gmail account. I laugh when I here iOS users talk about loosing their contacts after a factory reset. The galaxy nexus will win this contest. And yes I've used phones with all different operating systems, including bb, windows, and iOS. The only thing bad I can say about android is the fact that there are some real low end phones that give it a bad name, because they lag balls with the feature rich android OS and sub par hardware. Trust me when I say the galaxy nexus is no slouch and will stomp on windows phones for a while.
For all of you who've never felt, touched or used a Windows Phone....STFU. You have no basis for comparison or discussion. What you need to do is go to a site that you trust, and see a synopsis of the device in question. I'm tired of hearing all these comments about the 710 which are flat out untrue by misinformed people who cannot take the time to do a little bit of research and actual find out what they care commenting on.
Hold on I got to kill some background processes.
Sent from my infected 17 core android phone that's still laggy as crap.
Android cracks me up. Anyone who uses a freeware that is written by an ad agency is the funniest thing ever. We got this here free thing called android. Its free I tell ya. No apparently there aren't any hardware requirements, sure it looks like that fruity ios thang where all the apps are just thrown up on the screen, like how your uncle Billy bob saves everything to the desktop. Heck I think he got like 27 panels of apps. I hear them smart boys at Microsoft has a fancy OS. It doesn't need all them apps and everything is fluid and all the information is aggregated into these fancy live tiles. And where all the apps look like they were made for the phone, not like the crapshoot over at android. But I hear they actually have to pay for a license. I wonder if that's because it's not a cheap rip off of that that apple look. Maybe someday when we can upgrade from 4x4 el Camino well get ourselves one of them fancy Nokia phones. Until then well just manage the memory and stray off that that malware. Gosh golly.
Don't you all understand what is going on here? The I-Sheep are all retreating into their little I-closets with their almost prehistoric I-Phones so they can all envy each other in I-peace & I-Harmony. The Android idiots are beginning to realize how bad of a user experience Android really is when compared to the amazingly elegant and contemparary Windows phone interface. The reality is that when you take the cream of the crop hardware from Nokia and blend it together with Windows you get the very best of all worlds. The Lumia 900 should win this thing by a mile.
lol... looks like a joke Galaxy Nexus comparing to Nokia Lumia 710.... Android is a professional software not a basic kids software like iOS or WP.. Please stop these comparisons. This looks like Lamborghini comparing to Toyota Corolla.
Androids arent meant for every day users? So people go a day or so w/o using their phones? Makes no sense. What would make a windows phone more every day user friendly that the Galaxy Nexus doesnt posess?
What's the big hullabaloo about Android users? wasn't this expected? the 710 is a lower-end WP7 device which is a better cost value but overall feature set especially for these "hardcore" users of course the Nexus would be better. What's interesting will the the Lumia 900 vs GNex. UX vs. Feature set
I have used BB's for years and moved to Android. Waited 3 1/2 months for the Nexus. The MOST AWESOME phone I have had. Rooted and raging!!
Nokia is only surviving because all the kids who know about the Nokia meme are coming in here from forums to troll the other phones...just saying
This result war expected! How will the Nexus fear against the Lumia 900 on Friday? An ass wooping I see!
Galaxy Nexus kicks Windows Mobile ass any day. With over thousands of Apps on the Andorid Market, well now Google Play Store.
Andriod... is not meant for everyday users. Windows Phones are.
Samsung galaxy nexus is most elite phone of this year and they are trying to compare a nokia to a killer shark! Wow that's is insane!
Nokia still makes pones? THAT is hilarious.
The lumia 800 and 900 are the best phones I've seen for a while but the iphone 4S out in the first round? makes this whole thing a joke
Oh snap. Nexus killin the L710. Looks like it's going to be a very interesting final round. Lumia 900 FTW!
Android in general is hilarious.
This whole thing is extremely suspicious when Blackberrys are beating out top of the line Android phones and 4 of the final phones are Windows Phones. I smell a rat.
Nokia Lumia 710 mustn't stop here. Nokia Lumia 710 should knock the Samsung out! How could this happen? To me, Lumia 710 is much affordable although it has a great performance and camera. With its sleek design and cool unibody, I can't imagine how could you guys push away the Nokia :(
^^
Galaxy Nexus should have got byes all the way to the finals bitches
