Back in 2010, I had an Android phone (HTC Hero) for a few months, but it broke and I replaced it with a very cheap Nokia 5530.
I was looking to get a new Android phone, since Symbian OS was terrible, but when Windows Phone was announced, I changed my mind immediately. Looking at Windows Phone and Android side by side, I saw what Android truly is: an iOS clone. Windows Phone was simply completely different, beautiful, faster and it just clicked with me.
Still, I held on to the 5530 for almost a year, waiting for the prices to lower, and by the end of summer 2011, I reached my breaking point, I had to get rid of the 5530.
I still looked into buying an Android phone since they were cheaper, and had my mind set on a Huawei Ideos X5, which was a very good phone for the price. But then I saw a brand new Optimus 7 at eBay for about the same price, and it was a no-brainer. Got Mango a little while after, been very happy ever since. Best purchase I made in years.
Still, looking back, it's true that I had to wait for the prices to come down, and if I hadn't found this Optimus 7 at such a great price, I would probably have joined the Android club. Windows Phone really needs lower priced phones, glad Nokia is already on it with the Lumia 610.
