I barely use more than 3-4 apps. Facebook, Whatsapp and something for office notes etc but Windows Phone has that covered beautifully.

Basically ... how bad are Facebook and Whatsapp on it. Reading this thread sheds a bad light.
They're quite atrocious compared to Android.

I checked with the friend of mine who is using a 535, as well as a colleague who is using a 925 and both the apps are working fine.
Even back in November, I don't remember having many, if at all, problems with either of the apps.

Skype is crashing on my phone. Refuses to launch. It happened even before the Denim update got applied. Anybody else experiencing this?

No offense to any windows phone user but my experience with WP is plain bad.

Bought a HTC 8X for my mother. Cause i was told that Windows phones are generally easier than android. And BOY I was 'wrong'. Even Dialing a phone call is a headache in Windows Phone. Dialer app directed me to Call log instead of keypad. So i used a thirty party rapidialer. Sure it brought keypad to a single tap away. But you have to Dial the number first. Then confirm it. As per windows conditions.It doesn't allow any third party app to Dial a call without asking each and everytime. I mean that was kinda BULLSH%$. Don't you think? :p

So after 2 days of torture. Returned the phone to the shopkeeper.

HTC 8X Brand new is available in market for 10.5K ^^. So no Lumia 535 isn't the best option. Buy a 8X instead.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
