Hi, all. I'm an IT professional with an affinity for new toys. After being curious about WP for a long time I finally took the plunge. I picked up a Lumia 830 from AT&T and so far I love it. I'm still learning my way around 8.1 but I don't miss my iPhone at all yet.
Aside from a couple of specific apps, the only thing I miss is the ability to disable screen lock in certain situations. I listen to Slacker Radio in the car with my phone connected to a charger, and I'd love to be able to keep the display up during the drive. It's not a huge deal, though.
The biggest problem I've had with my switch so far has nothing to do with Windows Phone. I discovered I was no longer receiving text messages from my contacts who have iPhones thanks to iMessage. I actually had to contact Apple to have them disassociate my cell number from my Apple account. Sigh.
I also have a Surface Pro 3, which is one of the best pieces of tech I've ever owned.
I look forward to meeting many of you throughout the forum.
Cheers!
Paul
