If you get a Windows Phone, Office comes installed on the device for free. From there, you can have it sync to your SkyDrive. The only thing it's lacking so far is remote collaboration on a single Word doc (you can do this in OneNote, mind you, an app I've really fallen in love with). If one person is editing, another can only read. I believe in GoogleDocs two people can edit the same document at the same time.
So far, that's the only difference in their features and capabilities. I prefer Outlook/Hotmail for the cleaner UI look. I've always found GMail's UI to be just all over the place and cluttered. But that's all a personal preference.
I used Android phones for years before picking up Windows Phone, and I've found that I can get a ton more done on Windows Phone simply for the Office app they included. I've used DocsToGo and QuickOffice, and I found that they always lacked some feature I needed, whether it was viewing a special chart or making a bulleted list. I know that there's full Office for Android, but you have to pay for that whereas it comes free on Windows Phones.
A question I have for you, OP. Do you have to VPN or do any networking? If so, then I'd say stick with Android for a bit until MS fixes some of their issues with Windows Phone.
Oh, and my current phone is a Lumia 1020.
No I do not do vpn on my mobile devices, only on my desktop.
Is office in skydrive free?
