    Windows Phone to Android

    Save it all to OneDrive. There is a OneDrive app for Android. I use it to automatically archive my photos just as I did with my Windows phones.

    You can still have both of these features on Android with Launcher 10. I do.

    Voice texting via car Bluetooth?

    Android requires you to have your phone selected as the current source, at least with my non-Auto headunit, for this to work. Cortana did not. She would chime in even if you were listening to FM or AM radio, or any other source.

    Voice texting via car Bluetooth?

    I was amazed to find this capability missing when I finally switched over to Android. I never realized how good we had it with WM10. Apple doesn't do it either, btw. It seems like such a basic function for it to be missing. Perhaps Microsoft has it patented. There is an Android app that is...

On three different occasions I had sales associates, two at AT&T and one at Verizon, actively try to talk me out of buying a Win phone when I went in specifically to get one.

    Who is still using a Windows Phone? Honest Question.

    Download Launcher 10 and try it out. You can make Android look almost exactly like Windows Mobile. And if you use Textra for SMS, it can look just like the Windows Messaging app. And of course you can still use Outlook for email and calendar. My Android is a better Windows experience now...

    Any Android users use Launcher 10 on their phones?

    Yes, set wallpaper in Launcher 10, choose Live Wallpapers, then Bing. Cortana can be the digital assistant with or without Launcher 10, but it's nowhere near as functional as with Win Mobile.
