Well, not as my main phone. For now, that's a Nokia Lumia 925. However, my Nokia 808 Pureview is still raking up mileage.
Obviously, the camera is still its main use. Most of the photos and videos on this blog were shot with it. I found the Lumia 1020 too much of a lateral move from the 808 to purchase it. Looking forward to the 1020 successor.
I prefer to use twitter on my 808. Gravity is (thankfully) still being updated and I find it the easiest way to browse my multiple accounts and lists. Windows Phone still has no app that can match its ease of use, speed and features.
The 808 is still amazing when it comes to GPS. I drove for an hour yesterday with no cable plugged in and my battery was only down to 75% . If I use my Lumia 925, the battery would have drained in 30 minutes. Even plugged in with my old 1amp car charger, it still ends up dead after 3 hours. Never had a problem with the 4-5 hour drive to Vegas with my 808.
GPS on Symbian works great. Route commands come through the phone's
speaker. This is great on the 808, since the speaker is quite loud.
Route commands will only use the car stereo if I am connected in BT
Audio mode and have music streaming from the phone.
Car navigation on Windows Phone sucks in my car. It connects over bluetooth to my car stereo very strangely. Route commands break the audio and use my car stereo's BT Phone mode. This means the audio quality takes a major nosedive. It is a really jarring experience because route instructions are delayed about 2 seconds. Half the time, the route instruction doesn't even play because of that delay. Even connected in BT Audio with music streaming, the route instructions still come over BT Phone mode. Maybe it's my car stereo's fault this experience sucks.
If I only have the 925 on me when driving, I shut down its bluetooth connection and just use the phone's speaker. This isn't too bad. I can use Cortana and get directions to where I want to go easier. Cortana over my car's bluetooth can never hear me.
