Hello,
I am considering getting the Lumia 928. I have been in the android ecosystem since 2009 with the OG DROID and currently have a TF300 and Bionic. Originally, was going to go with the GS4, or the One, if Verizon was getting it.
I would like something new. The 928 is certainly cheaper off contact than the GS4. I have primarily stayed with android for the Google ecosystem. Voice guided navigation was huge for me. In addition I only use Google Music for my mobile music. Love the streaming.
I am fairly positive Nokia brought ovi maps over to WP7/8, which offers the voice guided directions. I am pretty sure there is no Google Music on WP or apps that can access it. What services like it are offered on the platform?
Outside of that, I am also huge into android ROM scene. Does WP8 have anything like this? Or, the ability to get newer OS versions when the manufacture does not support it officially? I remember when the original Lumia came out MS said that no WP7 device would be upgraded to WP8. I am a little wary about getting a WP8 device, and finding out a few months later that the newer WP OS will not be on it. If there was a way to put it on there I would be fine.
