Hi all,
I thinking about getting a Nokia lumia 820 and just really concerned about certain apps i use all the time with my android like gtalk, gmail, youtube etc… and i cant seem to find alot of info that google products are not supported by MS. only reason is that I travel alot and nokia drive has the dedicated gps without data support its a win on my travels abroad..
anyone used w8 with google talk with the support of voice and video talk.
cheers
yeah..i still getting put off by certain restrictions on W8 phones. just the international roaming is a killer when i need it when i get lost in a non English country this is when google maps and translate are my saviors.
Or hotspotting, found that was not so easy on a w8 phone
Do you realise you can save areas of maps on Google maps so that they can be used without a data connection? It would seem that this would solve your problem and allow you to keep using android. It's a bit of a hassle but you can cache maps of the places you are heading while on Wi-Fi before you go.
Only in Jelly Bean and it is very limited. I use a separate offline maps app instead (try anything that uses OSM).
Sounds like your getting it for one feature ie nokia drive.
Personally i would be getting another android or blackberry (personal pref)
I use and test all the latest phones for my work and iphones are okay android is exellent and blackberry is good. Other than that i stay away from windows 8 all together.
