How many people have you converted to WP8?

[Heron_Kusanagi]

When I read comment pages, I realize the WP community are trying their best to convert people to WP and do boast some success rates.

My whole family is into Nokia phones (mainly because I make the IT purchasing decisions), but I have a friend with WP7 before me who kinda influenced me to give Nokia with WP a try (he rocked the HTC Trophy and I love Nokia). I was a convert by him.

So I am curious, just how many people have you all converted into WP people?

Minimum 1.
My sister was looking for a cheap step up from her old Motorola C-something
The 521 and Straight Talk fit the bill nicely

My brother, sister, mom, and a friend of the family are all using WP8. My older brother and his family might also switch when upgrades become available on their tmobile plans. The family room feature is a killer app for families with multiple schedules that need to be synched up, and for sharing pictures/notes.

Not that I'm entirely responsible, but at least 4, plus 2 to WP7, who bought my old phones.

We have a little colony of users who I take care of and whose relatives are beginning to see the light.

3. Two of my friends, also a person who I met in a mobile store. She was not sure if wp8 meets her requirements or not. She finally bought a Lumia 820.

My wife (8x like me), brother in law (521), and coworker (iPhone to Lumia 1020, yes I'm jealous). I would have a 1020 if I could get it for Tmobile.

Quite a few actually.

1) Father (Lumia 720)
2) 2 Friends (a couple, both have Lumia 800s, both due for an upgrade in the next few months and both interested in the new Lumias)
3) Another 2 friends (also a couple, Lumia 720 and Lumia 925)
4) Step brother (Lumia 520)
5) Friend (Lumia 620)
6) 2 more Friends (both with the same white Lumia 920 as me)

So yeah, quite a few converts

I've got 2 people to get a WP. I think the home screen tiles is what pulls people in because it just looks so nice! Not just a bunch of old icons
