3 Reasons why you should switch to Windows Phone on the Nokia Lumia 830
The mobile world seems to be divided between Apple and Android fans: but have you ever considered going down the not-so-trodden path of Windows Phone? We’re here to explain just why Windows Phone, and more specifically Windows Phone on the Lumia 830, is well worth the switch! Our Nokia Lumia 830 review reveals all there is to know about the famous Windows Phone OS…
Windows Phone Live Tiles
The first reason why you should switch to Windows Phone on the Nokia Lumia 830 has got to be its colourful take on your typically boring home screen. Compared to Google’s Android and iOS on the iPhone, Windows Phone lets you customise your home screen to suit your personal taste and phone usage.
You can change the colour of the live tiles, as well as pinning your most-used Windows Phone apps to the top of the screen to make it easier than ever to navigate around your phone. Love Facebook? Pin it to the top! Can’t get enough of WhatsApp? Just resize the tile so it’s bigger than all the rest. Plus, Windows Phone’s live tiles update in real time, bringing your messages, Twitter notifications, and images right to your home screen.

Another reason why the Windows Phone OS is one to watch has got to be its array of connectivity features. If you’re used to using a Windows PC then the Lumia 830 is your perfect companion, allowing you to sync anything- from photos, videos and documents- using OneDrive storage. So wherever you are, or wherever you go, you can rest assured that everything you need is at your fingertips thanks to Microsoft’s free online file storage feature.
And this is even better news for all you photography enthusiasts out there! With the Microsoft phone boasting a 10 megapixel camera on board, you can share your perfect shots with all your mates with just a touch of a button. Whether you’re looking to post your pics on social media using the Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Vine app, or just pop it in your OneDrive to glance at at a later date, the Lumia 830 has got it covered.
