I too am getting a bit tired of windows phone. I remember using my HTC surround and truly enjoying the DIFFERENT experience. The pivot system, the large banners (songs playlist artist for example) it was so different unique and what made me a fan of WP after the symbian debacle. What REALLY upsets me is the fact that MS CORE apps seemingly work better on the other Os's. Here's a great example. I live in the Caribbean. (Barbados) As such, i expect paltry experiences in any device i use. My wife is from Jamaica. She uses an Android device. We both use Cortana. However, i can hardly ever receive local news on my WP using Cortana. That was expected from being in the Caribbean. However its not the same on her Android. She on the other hand, wakes up to prompts and daily news based on Jamaica. ( We're in Barbados now)
As a test, she placed Barbados as one of her interest. What do you know? She gets prompts, news, places to check out nearby....the whole works. I on my WP get nothing/ hardly a thing. This is the MOST upsetting example. Where things work much better on the competition and my experience seems "watered down" on my "Core device".
Apart from that, i got a 1020 in February 2015. New, unlocked. First, i had the "Cortana can't hear me" issue. Then no audio in videos. Then the battery drain ( i got basically 2-3 hours before needing to charge) then the USB connection went (no USB connection to the PC had to use a brilliant app called Easy Transfer) then it basically won't fully charge and charging goes on and off randomly. Figuring the usb port is gone/going. Then finally the screen no longer recognises touch. Its like the phone just disintegrated over time. I stand corrected but if i bought the device in February 2015 even though its a very older device, am i not entitled to a warranty?
I have been on the line about getting the 950xl. Just because im not sure if it will disintegrate as well and be told again by MS i don't have a warranty.
Worse part is, i really don't like either iOS or android. Currently using my n900 and pureview 808. YES YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY!!!
