What I Use- May 2014

It has been a while since I updated the list of devices I use. In fact, I haven't updated it since February. A lot has changed since then in terms of my devices, and also in terms of the format of this post. Let's begin with the May Edition of What I Use.

8MP camera

1800 mAh battery

Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview on T-Mobile.

Changes from February 2014:

• I upgraded the OS to Windows Phone 8.1 from GDR3.

Wishlist:

• My next phone, which I will get on November this year, is either going to be a T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 930 or 1030, or a high end Android. 

(NEW) Development Phone- Nokia Lumia 520-

• 512 MB RAM
• 1 GHz dual core CPU
• 8GB storage space w/ Micro SD support
• 4" 400x800
• 5MP Camera
• 1430 mAh battery
• Windows Phone 8.0 GDR3 with no service

This is a new device. I just purchased it this Sunday, and it just arrived today. I really like it, especially for the 50$ price that I purchased it at. My only issues with it is how dirty the screen tends to get, but that can, and will, be solved by a screen protector.

I will use this device for testing Kerinova Software, and I will keep it at Windows Phone GDR3. An interesting thing to note, is just how primitive 8.0 feels coming from 8.1
