The hunt for a stable, handy, amazing, full of features smartphone continues. If you are planning to move from Symbian Operating system, then obvious choices are either of iOS (iPhone), Android Mobile or Windows Phone (we ruled out blackberry). However choosing between the two (android or windows) can prove to a big task. We thought to compare the two so as to help our readers make a choice.
The most easiest way will be to compare between the two operating system or between android mobile phone vs windows mobile phone. However this cannot be just one comparison, it has to be a series of comparisons.

So we will do a comparison between these two (android and windows) in different segment of phones.
Today we decided to take the top level (as of today) of both the categories. This is a windows mobile os Vs Android Mobile OS in high range device's. Or we can say : its Samsung Galaxy Note Vs Nokia Lumia 900. We will rate them on number of factors.
I guess girls won't even prefer this big phone. Nokia Lumia 900 has some classy touch and feels different.
