Reasons To Switch To Android From Windows Phone
Recently I wrote an article about how Apple can "steal" a few customers from Android.Well,that will be a bit too harsh upon Android,I think.But don;t worry apple fans I am not gonna post the opposite. Obviously,because i think its almost impossible to detach Apple fans from Iphone.So I am gonna post reasons to switch to Android from Windows Phone.




1.Customisation
One of the things about Windows Phone is that it’s designed not to require heavy tweaking like the old Windows Mobile did. Instead, its customizations are designed to be more automated and content-based. For example instead of you having to go in and change a background image for a hub or live tile, things change automatically based on what’s going on. A lot of people still really like all of the power to dig under the hood and change things that other people probably wouldn’t have the time or desire to get into. This is another big reason why many of the old Windows Mobile users, who loved all the customizations they could do, have switched to Android which offers a similarly high level of manual customization options. Of course, you don’t have to tweak everything in Android, but then you might get bored with it pretty quickly.
2.More Apps
This is the gold standard complaint for new operating systems and it’s an especially prevalent mantra for Windows Phone even though in reality Windows Phone may very well support all of the apps you want. Of course there are instances where it does not, and for those you’ll probably have to switch to a different platform like Android.
3.More Features
Android has a lot more “innovative” yet perhaps not so useful features. If you want to be on the cutting edge of experimental stuff, Android is what you need. The whole 3D screens and cameras thing didn’t exactly catch on, but Android certainly had it. Maybe you think it’s cool to move icons around on your screen, by holding your finger on one and then turning your whole body to the left or right. Maybe you want to launch the camera by turning on your phone, holding a finger on the screen, then holding the phone up vertically and rotating it. Or maybe you think pressing a button to make a call is for suckers and would rather just hold the phone up to your head to start a call. There’s so many more of these strange new features coming to Android, where as Windows Phone still keeps things pretty simple and doesn’t add something unless it’s a little more thought-out first.
4.Maturity
Well,everyone needs to admit that WP is still quite young,whereas Android is the elder brother.The project butter in Android has made things smoother and faster.So obviously,if you want an OS with experience,Android is your choice.

60 Beautiful Wallpapers for Your Android Phone
The wallpaper is one of the most basic customizations on any computing device, be it your computer screen or your phone. It is the one thing most of us change the moment we get our hands on a new device. — and, if you’re like me, every few days.
Unfortunately, it isn’t difficult to get bored by the stock wallpaper collection, and finding good wallpapers for Android phones on the web is not the easiest of tasks. Let us take that challenge, then, and present to you a collection of 60 kick-ass wallpaper images to spice up your home screens.
Note that the wallpapers in the list below are in two different sizes, which are most common across the huge variety of Android phones out there. It is virtually impossible to have different versions of every wallpaper image to match all the devices out there. It shouldn’t matter much though, since Android will let you crop an image to fit the device resolution when you select a wallpaper.
Patterns
Chic Pattern :: 960×854 pixels (+ more)Photographs
White Trees :: 960 x 854 pixelsArtwork
Abstract Swirls :: 960 x 854 pixels
Where do I get more?
Okay, so for most people, these are more wallpapers than one would need for a very long time. But what if they’re just not your type? Or if you just like changing the look of your phone screen every couple of hours?! Don’t worry. There are many many more where these came from. Here’s a consolidated list of sites from where we picked our favorites. Go find yours!- Vladstudio
