Over the past two years I have bought and used every type of phone OS that I could imagine to be useful. I have an Iphone 4, Droid 2, Blackberry Bold 9930 and most recently my HTC Trophy. I am pleased to report that I have finally found a phone and an OS that I can truly stick with.
I used my Iphone 4 for a while and although I do think it is a good phone, it just wasn't right for me. The OS seemed stale and the whole Apple phenomenon has just annoyed me. It definitely has its fair share of apps, buy I have come to realize that apps are not the bread and butter of an OS. They are cool at first, but the wow factor of them wares off. Plus I don't like being locked into the whole Apple philosophy.
The droid 2 was my least favorite phone of them all. From the poor battery life to the sluggish operating system, Android to me is just a mess. I don't want to buy a phone just to realize that I have to root it in order to get the latest version of the OS. Although it has a lot of apps, most of them to me are of poor quality.
The Blackberry Bold 9930 is a decent phone, but the best thing it has going for it is the keyboard. The browser would randomly force close, the phone would restart, the apps that I do use are no where to be found. Thank god I didn't have to deal with the whole bricking issue.
Now I have the HTC Trophy and I am so happy that I bought it and I will not look back. It easily trumps the other three phones that I have and used. Sure it doesn't have the best camera (although I do think it is a good one), or the longest battery life (lasts almost all day for me), but the OS seems so fresh. The OS handles everything in a fluid manner and I have yet to see it slow down at all. It has all of the apps that I would use except for words with friends and hanging with friends, but the Xbox Live games more than make up for the lack of these few apps. It is extremely intuitive and easy to use. I am so happy that I have finally found a phone OS that I can call my own.
So to all of you other Windows Phone users out there, I am happy to add to your ranks and expect great things from Microsoft in the future. I have finally come to realize what you all have known all along!
