I'm leaving Sprint because their current efforts to beef up their network has left me with spotty coverage at best. I'm generally locked into 1x or I'm romaing when I'm in my town/county/state, but if I take a 20 minute drive into the next state over (Missouri) I'm waist deep in 4G and have abundant 3G coverage until I hit some of the most annoying deap spots I've had with any carrier.
I think the Lumia 900 rocks as-is and I wouldn't do too much with it to change it other than allow it to be upgradeable to WP 8. I'm going from a Nexus S 4G (pure Google experience) to this device. Any thoughts on the switch? If AT&T releases better phones 3-6 months from now I can always revisit the issue and purchase an unlocked device. I don't mind the contract, either. $50 for a solid phone makes sense and Sprint is forcing my hand to cancel service and go with another carrier by giving me 10 days to return my old phone to terminate my contract.
I actually don't like the Galaxy S III as much as I thought I would, and I'm leery of the HTC One X because of its Sense UI. If I stuck it out with Android I would look at the Atrix HD, but for Windows Phone I definitely want the Lumia. How are Google services on Windows Phone? It's primarily the Calendar / Contacts / Email that I'm concerned with. Google+ is nice and all but Facebook/Twitter will work for me and I can still access Dropbox.
I don't have a large investment in Android software. (~$30 at most) If I had to rebuild it on Windows Phone I would scale back some. The next device I get I don't want to root / modify too much because it isn't worth the hassle (for me) anymore.
