THE RISE OF WINDOWS PHONE
Last winter vacation I spent one month in Russia as a volunteer and unfortunately enough, my faithful iPhone 4
quitted its job two days before I went home. My parents wanted me to buy one myself but it was really a hard
task for me who always claimed myself to be well-organized. I didn’t want to buy the latest hit as I did in high
school when I bought iPhone 4. Wasn’t saying that it wasn’t good but I wanted to act more wisely and
thoughtfully to get myself the best one. Therefore, I conducted a research on the various options of smartphone
at hand and made tables presented as followed.
