I was an iPhone 3G user (never made it to the 4), but as soon as I heard about WP7, I knew I was going to want it. I liked the look of the OS, compared to iOS or Android, and I just liked the idea of using an OS made by MS, as I've always been a Windows user. I hated having iTunes on my computer, beings the only reason I had it was for syncing the iPhone. When WP7 phones started being released, I kept an eye on reviews and whatnot, constantly read up on it, and when my contract was up, jumped on it.
I think the thing that made me finally want to get away from the iPhone, was when iOS updates started coming out for the 3GS, and I updated my 3G, which was supposed to be completely doable. Well, immediately my phone became slow and buggy. I felt like I had been tricked into upgrading to the 3GS, which I didn't appreciate, and which was the kind of behavior that kept me away from Apple products to begin with (along with their prices).
My girlfriend has the iPhone 4, and I swear, whenever I try to use it for anything, I feel like I'm dealing with some Playskool "baby's first phone" type of deal. Build-wise, they're solid as anything...but I mean the OS itself. Feels like it's set up for....well, children.
The switch from iOS to WP was definitely one I don't think I'll ever regret.
