My daily phone is still an iPhone but on a daily basis I find myself using my Lumia 822 now.
One of the things I have always enjoyed about Apple is everything goes together. Apple TV, iPhone, iPod, iPad and Mac all work together and for the most part it's pretty reliable. I've always been a fan of trying to stick with one company such as Apple, because of the association between devices. Up until Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 Microsoft didn't have that, they had all these devices but none of them worked together. That's probably why I have accumulated so many Apple devices, I loved being able to go to one company for everything and it worked together. Apple has big down falls though, PRICE, everything is soooooo expensive. Another to me is serviceability, I'm in IT and if I need more RAM or the hard drive goes bad I want to be able to open it up and do what needs done. Same thing with expand ability it's not there. From a business model it's brilliant but from a user model it's terrible.
Microsoft is opening new doors, they're becoming a devices company which I love and they're all working together. It's not quite there yet but it's getting closer. I am concerned about how user serviceable all these new hybrids and all in ones will be, if I'm paying 1k for a device I want to fix it myself.
So now that I've written an essay, I got into WP8 because I wanted to go all into one company. Microsoft was my choice because they're more complete (business and home, Apple lacks big in the business dept) and for the most part affordable. I like the idea of my phone and computer being the same and streaming my phone to my Xbox or computer. However I think WP8 would be more attractive if it ran Windows RT on phones.
That's my never ending 2 cents.
