I happen to like my 8x. Going on two years and have no plans in replacing it.

LOL I have a 520 and did not realize it had a removable battery!
There is something annoying that a manufacturer of Windows Phones will now have to license Beats Audio from Apple. At least that is my understanding.
Sorry Nokia typically uses better headphone preamps then apple. Now if you're wanting to boost the hell out of the bass to make the $5 ear buds that come with it pound, well....have fun.Well, I only a 925 and a 8X.
Here's why I'd buy a non Nokia WP model: better audio for music playback. This is a failing from the whole WP platform. At least MSFT made the exception with the 8X/8S and allowed Beats Audio. While Beats Audio can be polarizing, they did allow a built in amp which is more important from a hardware perspective.
Point is not everyone wants a Lumia. I'm curious to see what HTC puts out for WP because if they port over that audio playback tech into their newer models, some people will buy (assuming the Music app becomes good again in 8.1). Camera tech is cool but with the push to big screens, audio playback is getting important.

beats audio?? guys lumias come with dolby, much better imho
beats has too much bass,too little treble
The only way I will switch from Nokia smartphones, if Sony make a killer Windows Phone that include all high end capabilities including integration of IR. Sony can do a twin of the Xperia Z2 but with WP 8.1 and guarantee that will be my future upgrade.

Having started my Windows Phone journey with an HTC 8X, I have also picked up Lumia 520s and a 925. When I got the first Lumia, I was stunned to see all the add-ons Nokia provides for (most of) their products (Glance, Music, other apps, etc).
I have really enjoyed my HTC 8X, but as I get ready to buy a Lumia Icon, I find myself wondering what would be the advantages to buying anything other than a Nokia/MS device now? Is there something obvious I am missing?
