I bought my wife a Nokia X, just because it was cheap and the last Nokia phone, at that time probably the last of its kind (Microsoft releasing another Android phone? Never, they'll kill the X line as soon as they have control over Nokia!)
I must say, I really like the X interface. Fastlane is very useful and more in line with the first iterations of Windows Phone than anything Microsoft added in the recent months. I would love to see it coming to WP9.
With the X?, they address my biggest problems with the X, the speed. If they now bring an high end Nokia Lumia X by Microsoft with Canon PureView I really don't see a use for Windows Phone anymore. At some point you have to ask yourself, are we truly doing something better or are we just doing something different for the sake of being different? Microsoft answers this question with an Lumia X in a way I wouldn't had expected three months ago.
If it happens, the only question remains: Is a Lumia worth the hassle or should I simply get a real Android device? With bother with an 2nd class app store if all MS apps are also available in the 1st class app store.
I would probably only miss Cortana, but since real Lumia sales would be the absolute minority, I'm pretty sure they will bring it to Lumia X very fast.
