Thank you for brining up the one thing that people seem to ignore or completely forget about.... SECURITY! Not only does the windows phone platform offer seamless integration in to the PC OS with the largest installed base in the world, it does so with unparalleled security. Personally I am very worried about the future of digital privacy and having piece of mind when it comes to my mobile devices is very important to me. In my opinion this should be one of the first things people look at when choosing a device and the ecosystem it operates within, not camera megapixels or customization!
Well, you see, that factor is one which wasn't, isn't, won't and can't be specified in the spec-sheets, because this sector of mobile industry (if I may express myself in that way) is very volatile and unpredictable. Every system has its own vulnerabilities, some have more of them, some have just a handful or not even that much. I can line those systems up from top to bottom in seems of security, and I can say that I wouldn't say anything wrong, if you know what I mean.
Most people (and by that I mean the not so tech-savvy like some of us) simply aren't aware of the privacy concerns that are currently in progress, or the ones that will be in the future. The only way for them to get to know the vulnerabilities and all that stuff is either to search for news about them online, or asking someone that they know, who has better knowledge about such things.
If I admit, I am also worried about the future of privacy, if not even a bit paranoid, because I flipped out a bit about the "ability of UK border police to confiscate your phone and its' contents" news on iMore. But as far as someone has the knowledge and a healthy state of mind to protect his/hers privacy, nothing bad will happen to them.
That's just my opinion, we know everyone has its own .
