I picked up a Lumia 535 cheap mid/late 2015 and am still using it today, with W10, like a dream. I love how simple it is compared to when I see family members and they throw their phone at me wanting me to have a look at it to fix something.

I spend 2 hours yesterday morning trying to get screenshots off of my mothers Samsung galaxy something-or-other android phone and the thing is just a complete mess, photos stored in 3 separate places, some pictures in one place but not another, some available but when trying to BT to me her phone "cant fetch" the photos.. I almost had a breakdown. She also had a malware problem about half a year ago where when she turned on wifi it was uploading for hours sucking up the entire internet connection and my brother couldn't play his online games. Could not find out what was uploading or where it was uploading to but it required a complete reset. Even when working correctly she cant do tasks because she is at times bombarded with notifications from apps that fill her screen up and just seem to stress her out.

Problems like this are common with my family and mother unfortunately, she had a windows phone (back when it was Nokia making them) and never had issues apart from "lack of apps" which is why she switched when her contract allowed.

Hope you enjoyed my rant/blog-post.

I loved WP back when I used it. It got out of my way. Its auto-complete was better than anything I'd used before or since (though a friend has it, and he says this has degraded over time?) Anyway, I use Android now because of Republic Wireless. It is a real shame that Android took off instead of WP.

>> The lack of apps has a flip side... I'm not terrible worried about malware. ;)

Is this something people should be worried about on a phone?
