Last year I jumped into WP7 (pre-Mango) from an iPhone and shortly went back as I needed just a little more out of the OS to achieve parity with my needs. Fast-forward to now - Mango is mature and Nokia has produced what looks like a killer phone. I'm not an "app obsessive" so I'm not worried about lack of 1:1 app matches. What really brought me back to iOS was the maturity, polish, and efficiency of the system (from a usability level - not necessarily workflow). Needless to say, the app-centric nature of iOS and the overall stagnation of their phones (in my eyes) has finally gotten to me. Regardless of whether the next iPhone is a "big redesign", it will still have the sterile Apple look and feel that is omnipresent throughout all its devices. (personal opinion)
I'm ready to go with the Lumia. A few questions. I know that no one will have exact answers but after reading through many posts I'm looking for educated opinions. If I get a Lumia before the 16th I understand there is a software issue that will require an update on the 16th. I also know that I can get a $100 credit if I purchase before the 21st. Other threads seem to hint that around the 21st, new phones with the updated software will be available to purchase. Will that be the only difference with these "new" phones? Or does anyone feel that there will be hardware modifications also? I have seen threads mentioning "rattles", etc.
Any input would be appreciated as I'm eager to go back to WP7 for good this time.
Thanks!
