What OS would you choose if Windows Phone was killed in 4 months?

[jdevenberg]

If MS killed of Windows Phone and made current devices unusable (not going to happen, but this is a hypothetical situation) in four months what phone/OS would you switcht to (4 months was to put it past BlackBerry OS 10 availability).

I would probably go iPhone 5. I have had Android as secondary devices recently and it just doesn't do it for me, and after being with Windows Phone since pre-NoDo on an HD7, I'm not wanting to go through the growing pains with BB10, but it is the OS I'd rather have. Still, I think I'd end up with an iPhone 5 unless BB10 grows up really, really quickly.

If there were no more WP, then it would be BB10. I've never owned a BB, but BB10 looks 'different' and therefore, I'd be interested; however, if there were no BB10 in the equation, then it would be iPhone 5. Android does not interest me at all.

A part of me has wanted to own a Nokia N8 or N9, so I'd look around for one of those. Or I might even ask my uncle for my old N900 back. And if all else fails, I might have to settle for Android.

 

[Laura Knotek]

I would probably choose Android. I've never had an Android device, but I do like Linux.

I would not pick an iPhone, since I am a Windows/Linux user and do not care for anything from Apple.

I've had BlackBerry in the past, and part of the reason I left was lack of apps. I'm not convinced that BlackBerry will ever have Netflix, which is one of the apps I use regularly.

Came from iOS, walked away and will never go back to iOS.
I dislike Android.
BB will be the only choice.

(IIRC, Meego was releasing a new OS version?)

 

[willied]

Probably BB10, then Android, and I'd go back to a feature phone before I'd go to an iPhone.

Came from two years of Android 1.6 to 4.1 - no interest in going back
have iPad - that's enough iOS for me.
Used BB, but BB10 is new and different.

That leaves trying MeeGo, something I have always wanted to and BB10 if that does not work.

BlackBerry - no question. Then Symbian. Then as the last resort, Android.

I would go back to a dumb phone before I'd get an iPhone.

iphone because it will integrate with my car seamlessly.

all i want is usb audio streaming

What OS would you choose if Winodws Phone was killed in 4 months

I would go BB10 or Sailfish.

 

[Reflexx]

I'd probably go iPhone.

 

[WasteSomeTime]

IPhone because I like pretty things. I have a lot of experience with android and I can't stand the disorganized feel of the OS. But then again most people would probably go for android due to rampant piracy.

I'll always have a soft spot for RIM. So my first choice would be BB10, followed by iOS. I'm still not convinced that Android is best for communication, news and productivity first - something at which BB continues to excel and where WP is starting to shine.

 

[Alex Rodriguez]

For sure NOT an IPHONE

 

[wp7USER]

Am coming from BB therefore I would go back to BB because it does look promising at this point of time. IPhone and Android will never see my money. At the same time I will say that I might just pick up a brick if Windows Phone were to go down the drain and call it end for smartphones and me cause its Windows Phone or nothing.

Android. I know people knock it around here alot but I could do next to anything I wanted with my Android phone. The dev community and their abilities are endless.

 

[ironsoulreaver]

Android. I did the iPhone thing and got bored with it. That OS needs an overhaul.

 

[malachijd]

I'm going to go crazy and say BB10. I'm really liking the looks of it and my fianc?e is an old BB user but switched to the iPhone 4 but hasn't ever liked it so she is switching to it so I'd go that route

 

[scottcraft]

I would choose android if there was no WP. I really like what Google has done with the latest versions.
