No it doesn't... those apps are still taking up valuable memory. At least on WP they are gone from your phone completely!!!!
Fair point. However, if one really wants to great rid of them, one can.

I once had the chance to get a S4 mini for free...i looked at it (UI)...i puked...i said no thanks... Really who buys Samsung phones?

Android isn't actually bad. You just need to get the right phone. But I won't lie, there are very stupid things like apps with widgets cant be installed to the SD. WTF! I just find myself babysitting my phone more than actually using it lol. But you guys should try android, just to see what it's like. Just don't buy samsung.
If it's alright with you, I'll demur. There are two reasons:
i) I really don't trust Google and don't understand why people aren't a lot more careful with where their personal information is going as a general principle. It's far wiser to be conservative with whom you trust your privacy than opt for something because it's free. Google seem to have a policy of 'do it until someone complains' rather than commit themselves to respecting personal privacy. Information given to Google for storage is open to Google to use for their own benefit and I'm not agreeing to that.
ii) The principle above doesn't apply to a Nokia X or Amazon Fire, so when I'm tempted to give Android a try there are options open to me, but then I ask myself: What would be the benefit? Similarly I'm tempted to install Linux on my PC when I replace it, but really how would I be better off?
I am happy with Windows and Windows Phone, and like the way my information synchronises between my devices. I find Windows Phone in particular, elegant and simple to use, and I like the way it presents me with useful information. In short, it doesn't get in the way.
I took the cheapest one that was available around here, just to try... Wasn't going to take a S5 or One M8 so I took last year's model...
The Xperia Z2 looks amazing, seems to work better indeed, but is way too big. They should make a "mini" version of it.
Anyway, will try to return the S4 and get a L930 instead.
App developer's fault not the phone or android, take it up with them. Camera has also unseated lumia as the best smartphone camera for 2014 on dpreview.com
The Z2 blows the doors off of anything Nokia's produced to date

Well.. Someone doesn't realize that the article was in April. The lumia 930 wasn't even released yet. Obviously it's gonna win best smartphone camera Of 2014 around that time. Nokia didn't even make any new flagships.App developer's fault not the phone or android, take it up with them. Camera has also unseated lumia as the best smartphone camera for 2014 on dpreview.com

Customization is a benefit to some people, but I hardly think that's why it's so popular. It came as an alternative to the iPhone, and took off like a forest fire. And like a forest fire, it created its own momentum which is very difficult for outside forces to stop.
+620 The app revenue of play store is much lower as compared to WP and IOS.People love android because you can get almost every worthwhile, paid app for free and side load it.
And they still take up the same amounts of space.You can disable them all. Amounts to the same thing.

What are the best OEMs for Android, WanderingTraveler?
Ny brother uses Nexus 5..
I've heard him complain about awful battery life, poor wifi connectivity and other issues, so much for a flagship stock android phone.
Not saying windows doesn't give problem but many times they are addressed soon, while he has to wait for Android L for issue to be resolved. Something people have been hearing since Android 1 just next update will resolve this or that. It took them don't know several years to finally fix the lag and well it came with a price..Not saying windows is perfect but well if only people saw that Android isn't either.
