Windows Phone - what to buy (today)

I wanted to buy a phone with Windows Phone, try it in real life, and not twist in my arms at exhibitions and in stores. Therefore, I collected a small selection of what is now officially sold in Russia (well, or it will start to be sold in a week or two). Maybe someone will need it. Under the cut heels of pictures and a little bit of text - I will not write full TTX devices, because everything is about the same, I will focus only on the features.

My personal requirements:
1) a screen up to 4 "(otherwise it doesn’t fit in my hand)
2) memory from 16 gigabytes (although eight will work on the phone)
3) a removable battery (communicators are few now)
4) a normal sim card ( not micro - I have several devices between which SIM cards roam)
5) the flash is like a flashlight (see the note on the memory item).
6) lower price

HTC

HTC 7 Mozart

_{Photos are dusty here The}
average index price is 11 thousand (in my area - 14 thousand in the Connected), a 3.7 "screen, a 1300mah battery, replaceable.
8 gigabytes of memory, but you can open it (having lost the warranty) and increase the memory - it uses the usual microSD Class 4. At the same time, you can speed it up if you put a card in a higher class.
Xenon flash, like a flashlight, can’t be used. Everyone else has LEDs.

HTC Radar

_{Photos are full here}
Updated Mozart. Average price is 17 thousand, the camera is better, memory and battery do not change. But there is a flashlight. The screen is 3.8 ". Battery 1500mah.

HTC Titan

_{Photo Tired here}
4.7 "diagonal bast shoe, costs around 26 thousand. 16 gigabytes of memory, a 1600mah battery, replaceable. I don’t even look at it.

HTC HD7

As far as I know, it is sold semi-officially in Russia, but it is still sold. Although also did not consider - the 4.3 "screen is too big for me.

LG

LG E900 Optimus 7

_{Photo dusted here The}
average index price is 13.5 thousand, 16 gigabytes of memory, there is a flashlight. The battery seems to be replaceable.

Nokia

Nokia Lumia 800

It will cost about 21 thousand. The phone is quite interesting in terms of design, 16 gigabytes of memory, a 1450mah battery is not replaced. microSIM. How to “try” the device is a little expensive. But beautiful. If I took the main phone, then I think it would be one of the main candidates.

Nokia Lumia 710

_{Photo typyreny here}
The same Mozart, only from Nokia. microSIM, flashlight. The battery is non-replaceable, in my opinion.

Samsung

Samsung Omnia 7

_{Photo dusted here}
Screen 4 ", 8 gigabytes of memory, replaceable battery.

Samsung Omnia W

_{Photo dusted here}
Screen 3.7", 8 gigabytes of memory, replaceable battery.

At a price close to mozart, that first, that the second. AMOLED screen. Omnia W has a faster processor (and indeed - it replaced Omnia 7, so the previous model will disappear soon, if it has not disappeared).

Conclusion

In addition to those mentioned, there will certainly be phones - Acer is preparing something budgetary, for example. But I just went over what Yandex.Market offers.
What can I say at all ... Devices differ very little - the strict requirements of MS to hardware are affected. For one thing, it’s right - there will not be such a zoo as with androids, it will be easier to release updates to the OS (see iPhone :)). The disadvantage is that for some time there will be really no budget devices (bucks for 200-250), like on an android. Prices so far start at around $ 400.

I haven’t bought anything yet, but I am inclined to mozart - a replaceable battery, the ability to increase (and speed up) the memory - if you suddenly want to use it as the main phone. I’ll manage without a flashlight, if that.
