Android vs. Windows Phone: Which smartphone is simply faster?

We offered Android fans $100 if their smartphones are faster at everyday things, like searching for a restaurant and getting directions. http://newwp.it/zVXn07

Uhh. What kind of fan boy comment is that, I mean, you didn't even state any facts, you just, blurted out garbage. And I have an android phone. You make us all look stupid, This windows phone ain't bad mate, ain't bad at all. I think I'll get it, so I have both. Because I'm not a closed minded retarded fanboy. :)

It is fair. Its random people doing things how they normally do it. People who have raced against the windows phone have won before. Typically the windows phone wins. Yes it is based on UI features. That's the point they are trying to make. Hey here is this nice feature that may be easier or simply faster then other devices. I remember when ios n android didn't have certain "short cuts" that windows phone did until they got updated later. Yea I know this is a month old but oh well.

What ? People have been doing these tasks for like forever.

See Flickr , iPhone is the most popular phone.

Searching for local restaurant is also popular , Yelp was there on iPhone even before Android came into existence and people praised it back then.Even though its not as good as local scout , it was great for that time.

Similarly , every challenge is a basic task done by millions of users everyday.

So , basically what's point of smartphone when u don't use maps , camera or sharing ?

The dude using the windows phone made up the challenges beforehand and probably practiced them for hours... Of course he won against people who were just suddenly asked to do it

i dont mean to sound like im easily bought by this, but iv not been convinced by android because of the hype and my own experience with it. if windows phone 8 is faster, more stable and to the point then im switching for sure

dude just check the date of the video... if the android version was old so was the the windows version..that was old win 7.5... you wanna race your s3 race it with nokia lumia 920 with win 8...that is the fair comparison....posting random comment just bcoz you wanna win a comment war is not going to change the facts....

[Trevor Dierdorff]

I kinda wish my Samsung Focus Flash would break so I could justify getting the new Nokia 920. But the damn thing still works great. Even though it is WP7 it is still a great device.
