Although I initially leaned toward Android when getting my first smartphone, I went ahead and gambled on a Lumia 920. Gotta say, I love it so far! Although my hands are itching for more customization on WP8 (no custom text notifications? boooo.), I knew that this would a little limited compared to Android going in. Point is, I love Windows Phone 8, and I'm hoping to see support for it.
I was hoping to convert some friends, but this phone is apparently a tough sell for high schoolers. The first day I pulled it out I got a bunch of laughs and odd looks, and a friend even asked my why I would waste money on a 920 when I could've gotten a GS3 instead. This happened a bunch more times, and by the end of the day I was sick of hearing all Android fans the hating on my "brick" of a phone. Surprisingly enough most of the people who loved my phone were Apple users! Took some of them some time to get used to the heft, but overall a lot them liked the UI.
I thought this platform was hoping to steal from Android's fanbase, but it turns out Apple users might like WP8 a lot more. Anyone having similar experiences?
