Not trying to start a flame war. I am finally switching away from my trusty Nokia Lumia 920 because the browser wouldn't load m.uber.com and WhatsApp says app will be gone at the end of the year. I like the snappiness of Windows Phone and iPhone UI. Haven't checked Android phones recently but years ago the UI was laggy and no one except I seem to notice. Also know that sideloading apps, blocking ads in apps etc. is much easier on Android so I am hard pressed to decide between the two.

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: “Contact us for pricing” nonsense
Ask HN: “Contact us for pricing” nonsense
28 by gesman | 30 comments on Hacker News.
I am looking to purchase advanced communication device manufactured by specific vendor - but every single website has this "Contact us for pricing" links. This certainly is an invitation to sales dance and subsequent spam. I'd rather avoid that and buy from reseller/store that is clear and opened about their pricing. This "contact us for pricing" approach certainly doesn't help to win business (at least mine). Just wonder if this kind of policies are dictated and enforced by actual manufacturer or is that a habit of a specific industry?
