Switching To a Windows Phone

As you all know I've been in love with android since '09. I switched to iOS once but the openness of Android pulled me back. The love for Google Services was what actually pulled me back. I was using almost everything GOOGLE !

I have had a lot of android devices and I even got a companion for my daily driver. The new thing in the android world was Android Wear so I ordered a LG G Watch as it was being sold for approximately $100.

My experience with Android Wear was great, I received a few updates on my watch and Android Wear 5.0 was fabulous. I had a huge collection of watch faces and some classic games on my wrist. I could even match the color of my watch with the color of my dress. I was in love with it, Android Wear became an essential part of my life
BUT!! ... .

Windows Phone, I've never thought of it until a few days back. I've been all over YouTube, searching for everything related to Windows Phone. I even went through the detailed Build Videos posted by Windows. I was in Virtual Love with Windows Phone. I had urges running through me, I was being compelled to purchase a Windows Phone because no matter how much I loved Android, it was like the girlfriend who you love a lot but there are a few things that she does which you hate and would eventually lead to a BREAK UP!!

It was time for a CHANGE. I was going to keep my Android device as a second phone because you can't go ahead and break up suddenly with someone you've been in love with for years. So I guess I was going to date Windows phone behind Android's back, is this called CHEATING?

So I started searching for a nice affordable Windows device, I didn't want anything too damn powerful and I didn't want to spend a lot of money because I don't know if this new relationship would keep me happy in the long run.
 

I searched a lot and I found the right girl/smartphone for me and it was the Microsoft Lumia 640 and I ordered the Cyan color because it was like 'Love at first sight'. My device is incoming and I'll post updates about the new journey I'm about to start soon ... So stay tuned.

You can check out the Microsoft Lumia 640 below:

Moto G 1st Gen Lollipop Update [coming soon]

The Moto G 1st Gen was the phone which changed the budget market forever. Earlier this year Motorola announced that the 1st Gen moto g would be getting the Lollipop update. Thank you Motorola. 
But recently there has been no news about the update for the device.  But today I got a notification saying that 1 app needs permission to update and the app that needed my permission was "Motorola Update Services"
It said that you need to update this app in order to get the next Android update i.e.  Android Lollipop 5.0
This update is basically an update to the OTA updater that is already on the device..
Here are a few screen shots:

I even received an email from the Motorola Feedback Network, so it looks like the Soak Test is also about to being.

So seeing this it looks like the Android Lollipop update is getting closer day by day and I'll tell you I'm eagerly waiting for it. 
What about you?  Are you excited? Did you update the Motorola update services app??

Moto G White Grip Shell Unboxing and Review

I purchased the Moto G White Grip Shell from Flipkart and in my view it's the ultimate way to protect your device and it doesn't add a lot of thickness to the device. It looks like it can take a number of bumps and falls easily. The white color isn't as rubberized as the stock shell (to prevent the shell from getting dirty) but provides a good grip and premium feel to the device and it's easily cleanable.

The black and white color combination gives the device a STORM TROOPER look and I have to say I'm in love with this color combination. The cutouts are super precise and that's what I expect when a manufacturer creates their own cases/cover. The volume rocker and the power button are also covered with the rubberized material, the power button has a design over it and I think the buttons now feel more sturdy and provide a better feedback.

I would recommend this Grip Shell to anyone looking for a great way to protect their devices from those SCARY bumps and falls :D

Here are the links to the device and the cover:

Moto G 720p Video Sample:

So here's the video go ahead see for yourself:
