End of Life

For around 2 years I had a Lumia 630 business phone with M$ Windows Phone 8.1. It was a phone you got for €1 with your contract. After it got a spider web app I got a new business phone around 1 year ago. It is a Samsung Galaxy A3 with Android that you also got for €1 with your contract. I must admit that the Windows Phone was muuuuuch better! Especially the mail app I used most was so much more convenient than the mail app on Android. Even the new Outlook app for Android is far less convenient than the old mail app on Windows Phone. Very surprising was the web browser for me. Compared to the one on the Samsung phone the Windows Phone browser behaved much better.
But the most disturbing difference is traffic. I had a contract with 100MB data volume per month with the old phone. It was always enough for email and reading some news on the way to office until the last week of the month. With the new phone I got 200MB/month data volume, but after 7-10 days the Android phone consumed already everything. :facepalm

Am Dienstag ist der Support für Windows Phone 8.1 ausgelaufen. Smartphones mit der letzten Windows-Phone-Version erhalten ab sofort keine Sicherheits-Updates mehr. Besitzer einiger jüngerer Lumias können noch upgraden.
