Hi,
I have been doing some serious reading here on WPCentral and am having trouble pulling the trigger on a WP8 purchase. I have bounced from OS to OS (Palm Pre, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, HTC One X, and Nexus 4) but haven't really been satisfied with any of them. I have no interest in going back to Apple for a variety of reasons and I am relatively happy with my Nexus 4 running the nightly CM10 rom. I am wanting to try out the WP8 OS, potentially on a Lumia 521 as a media device for the cheap price, a 920 or 1020/EOS with AT&T (current provider), or the 925 when it comes to T-Mobile. I understand the app selection is smaller and some of the big name items are missing. Based upon the feedback of individuals like yourselves who use this software day in and day out, I was hoping you could fill me in on whether or not it seems like a reasonable decision to make the jump. My wife is also needing a new phone in the near future, so a switch from iPhone for her is a possibility.We pretty much use our phones for the same thing but she is more of the photo taker.
My daily use:
-Checking a personal Gmail e-mail account
-Checking school Outlook e-mail account
-Viewing and posting status updates, photos on Facebook or Instagram
-Catching up on news with Pulse app
-Checking bank account (PNC) or 401K info (Fidelity)
-Use of Google Maps for navigation purposes
-Watching videos on YouTube
Thanks for the feedback, I understand that every persons experience is different but I appreciate it!
