They full news : Microsoft is loosening its strict spec standard to push some highly affordable Windows Phones to the market . The big news ? Those phone are blend to be gimpy little skank boxes . But hey , that ’s via media .
Nokia and ZTE are going to be manufacture Windows Phones with just 256 MB of RAM curtly , but they ’re go to have to leave out certain aspects of the WP Tango experience . Specifically , “ central processing unit intensive ” apps ( your favorite games ) wo n’t work , you wo n’t be able-bodied to supervise podcasts , dissipated app switching is numb , some HD TV codecs are dead , Bing Local Scout is dead , ground agents are dead , automatic SkyDrive photo uploading is bushed . Dead , bushed dead .
We ’ve beaten theRAM - doesn’t - matter drumbefore , and it really doesn’t — after a sure level . That point being , plainly , around 256 Mbit . And while I appreciate Microsoft ’s drive to get its nomadic confect in more people ’s gullets , the fully abled Lumia 900 will reportedlyhit the US for $ 100 . That ’s a third of what you ’d pay for a top Android handset , making it a pretty solid bargain already ! So maybe just stick with that .
