The Nexus 4 announcement is IMO the most significant event in mobile phones this year. The Nexus 4 is a top-end device (albeit without LTE or expandable storage), with an OS that's immune from carrier interference, at an INSANE price (half the price of comparable phones).
The second-most significant event is of course the release of the new WP8 phones and Microsoft's push on all fronts (Windows 8, WP8 and Surface) to give the MS ecosystem a fighting chance.
Currently I'm still using the iPhone 3G so pretty much any modern smartphone would be a huge improvement. That also means I'm not really familiar with the user experience of the latest Android phones and how it compares with WP7/8.
I would like to ask any current Android users whether they think the switch to WP8 is viable. I would especially like to hear from those that make heavy use of their Android phones as to whether WP8 can match or exceed Android on features and user experience.
