In some ways I have to agree with you. But I would say that the 8X is one of the best business, every day normal use smartphones. Sure WP8 needs some more features, but the 8X certainly has a great feel. My girlfriend just switched to a HTC OneX+, speed wise... the 8X keeps it up for regular work and also for the camera. What I miss is more memory. I will never use an Android phone for business, Android software just collects too much information on you. But for the regular Joe... Android is fine. I have one co-worker who is a total iPhone5 freak... (Apple is the best...) but there is no way I will convert to anything under 4.3 inches of screen, but I could imagine having a OneX+ as my private phone until I can get my hands on a 64Gb HTC WP8 device. (Hopefully by next June if HTC sells enough 8X units).
