2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

I actually do kind of miss my windows phone LOL
My nokia windows phone was the best. Stylish, great battery, great camera.
Windows phone with the tiles remains the best phone interface by far. Since then i've had to make my own custom interface because i can't go back to ugly ass icons.
I love the concept of that launcher, so much I've tried it numerous times.
In the end, a launcher just doesn't work for me. But that tiled UI is definitely the best approach I've seen.
The Nokia Lumias were really interesting
i wish they'd bring those back, i totally missed that era
Me too. I didn't even have famcy ones. I had the cheap $20 Nokia 520
Same, and it was still a solid little phone, I used it until most of the apps stopped being supported, and even then, it was my backup phone for years, until the networks stopped supporting it.
Nokia with Windows Phone is great. It is still the best interface just right before MS made it worse with WP10 IMO. It is still amazing to me that when I gave one to my mom back when she was changing from a normal non touch screen phone, she immediately gets it and I don't have to coach.
And I personally also like the design philosophy behind WP 7 up until 8.1. I just can't get behind WP10 and later.
I had windows mobile 5.0 😆
My Lumia is still the best phone I've ever had. It still works, to an extent, despite having fallen out of my pocket at biking speed multiple times. Unfortunately everyone and their dog uses WhatsApp now so when WhatsApp decided to stop supporting my model, it became nearly useless. I'm still angry about it.
One of the few benefits of being American, no one is using whatsapp
Same. It was SHIT but the battery was epic and i used to spend time on it playing shite games on long train journeys.
Omg you know what, when I had one it was still called Windows Mobile, not Windows Phone yet. Games weren't really big yet!
Haha. It was backgammon, don't think I had the option for anything more high end.
Seemed so bizarre at the time, but the changeups it had made for a fun experience
