30 Day Challenge: From Galaxy S3 to Nokia Lumia 822


Hi everyone, I will be updating this post with new information from time to time. I wanted to try my own Windows Phone 30 Day Challenge.

Background Story: I work at a Connection Center where my job is to activate phones for people. Both contract and pre-paid. I have used Android for the past 3 years, Blackberry for another year, I'm very familiar with IOS and the iPhone, and I know nothing about Windows Phone 8.

I went searching on eBay for used cellphones one day because my contract is coming up and I want a new phone without using my upgrade since I still have unlimited data. I came across the Nokia Lumia 822. Bought one, had it shipped, and switched over to it.

First week of my 30 day challenge with WP8 and the Nokia 822:
1. Having an Xbox 360, Xbox Live integration with player game notification is really cool to have. I get a notification message every time someone gets online and starts playing a game.
2. Hands free texting with supported headphones. I like how it reads me my text, and i can respond and answer back, all hands free.
3. Automatically converts videos when sending them via MMS text message. My Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn't even do this without the help of apps for cutting and shrinking the video.
4. Videos automatically play in landscape. Because who watches videos in portrait mode?
5. Camera quick shot unlock. From a sleep state, you can press and hold the camera button, and it turns on and is ready to take pics in less than three seconds. Better than lock shortcut on Android.
6. Everything is buttery smooth. From the menus all the way to Facebook. Loads fast and doesn't lag or miss swipes like my Galaxy S3 does every so often.

There you go. Six things I love about my Nokia Lumia 822 in the first week of my 30 day challenge coming from a Samsung Galaxy S3 android user. I'll post again next week with even more things I find out about WP8! So far it's pretty awesome!
