They say, there is a little bit of Steve Jobs in everyone's life. However, I did not own even an Ipod Nano till now. Ipones were very critically analysed by me for their extremely poor VFM proposition vis-a-vis features on other contemporary smartphones.
The Iphone 5C was my first Iphone and frankly with the larger screen its really worthwhile now. Lack of bluetooth file transfer and inability to make 3G Video calls pinches a lot. Video calling over facetime thru internet is provided over wifi. It also says thru mobile network but yet to try.
However, its interface is as as smooth as hot knife in a butter brick.
Maps, Whatsapp, FB etc are really very smooth. Transferring your own song library to the devise thru itunes takes a lot of technical DIY-ness. Simpler in Android to just copy paste them in the drive/card/folder. Even in Windows Phone its very cumbersome to transfer music. Further your playlists should be made on PC. You can't add songs to playlist in WP(Laughable).
Why this nano SIM business, I fail to understand, How much weight / space can you really reduce. ITs really cumbersome to prepare the SIM to fit and then its of no use in another phone, should you need to switch for any reason.
The phone was a present to my wife and she's quite happy with her limited usage of social media which is excellent. The color & rounded long slender shape went well with her. However, I will not buy an Iphone for myself till it allows Bluetooth file transfers, 3G Video Calling & easy music & file transfer from PC to Phone as lot of data travels in phone(what's the big deal?). It appears Apple is purposefully giving lesser services then contemporary phones and adding bit by bit in every new addition.
Flipkart's offer of 10% cashback with HDFC Card at Beginning of 2014 was excellent and with the receipt of cash back in my account, the price really came down to a sane level of 36500. Delivery was also quite fast. Excellent big bubble packing too.
