Why don't android devices pin the important stuff (homepage, contacts etc.) in memory?
Yea..there certainly enough ram..although that would thrash the battery though wouldn't it?

Just went to BB and played with the Lumia 900, Galaxy S3, and Note. The Lumia was CLEARLY smoother than the other two. Note was pretty good, S3 was surprisingly laggy (maybe people had been playing with it more and installed extra software?). Hopefully Sammy release a Note w/ Win 8 - I'm getting one if they do!
WP UI is incredibly smooth but its also slightly misleading. Its by far the slowest when it comes to launching third party apps
how so ?
I can get to all my just as fast as my gf can and i'm on the arrive and she is on the epic.
But the original poster was comparing a Lumia 900 (2012 product) versus a Galaxy S3 (2012 product). The difference in launching apps like facebook and whatsapp are like night and day even if the Lumia is faster in the UI
Sure looks itNight and day?

Sure, the result wasn’t surprising. The Galaxy S3 beat out the Lumia 900 is most of the tests (by bigger margins too, compared to when the Lumia 900 won)
I don't really understand the comparison that's trying to be made here, where two (randomly chosen?) phones are put to the rest running completely different codes.
It's pretty simple mate, wp runs nearly as fast and in some cases faster than android running vastly more powerfull processors ram and gpu.
But running different codes, like I said (with different Wi-Fi and/or cellular, since all tests I saw used the network).It's pretty simple mate, wp runs nearly as fast and in some cases faster than android running vastly more powerfull processors ram and gpu.

It seems fundamentally flawed as a comparison. Two Androids or two WP7s maybe, but the cross OS comparison is a bit nuts. You've also no idea if the apps are single or multi-threaded. I could go on and on.
