Just jumped ship, back with WP8

[seangprice]

Found a very gently used 925 with wireless charging for 220, at that price I had to pick it up. Moving from my iPhone 5s and I'm relieved to be back with a Lumia 925 and WP8. I've been out of the loop but what's the next expected update for this phone? What's changed with the camera app if any since release last summer?

Leaving WP is tough. Staying gone is really tough. Welcome back.

i think the iphone is over-rated. i have an iphone 4 now and i'm thinking of getting a 720. had a 6300 long time ago and an N9. when it comes to build quality and industrial design i think nokia is number 1. it's like comparing german cars with american/japanese cars.
what didn't you like about the iphone 5?

IPhone build/feel is on par with Nokia but ios is terrible and then I've had nothing but signal issues with my 5s. Apps crash and the phone has had several lock ups, but all phones do. The issues is experience vs price. Never again will I pay over 700 dollars for an over hyped Tele. WP8 integrated with other MS products offer incredible enterprise solutions, and they work.

Ford for Europe is made in Germany as well.. Japanese cars were great, just last years they are made in Poland ...

Another issue that sets other handsets apart from apple is the larger screen sizes. I enjoy screens between 4.3 to 5.0 but the screen on the 5s just seems small.

agree with WP8 strengths. I mean who wouldn't want a phone that just works. I feel like Apple has gotten complacent with their phones.

The physical feel of an iPhone is premium but the experience is dull at best. I do however love my Mac book Pro though but Surface RT has replaced it as my daily driver for work.

The WP is my second voluntary venture into smartphoning.
Fiddled with the other two OS's and tried to be happy with yer Android thingy.

Said this before, I took to the WP like a duck to water.
I do hope with all sincerity that Microsoft stays in the game and gains a massive following.

In no way do I want the other 2 to fail.
Me just wants to relax here with my simple and elegant Windows devices.

I honestly believe there's plenty of room for different platforms and other phones.
In real terms all three are are incredible jewels of the mind and serve each users preference very well IMO.

Bottom line:
Have fun...move forward!

Nice air on the mountain bike! Just picked up a 925 on att on Tuesday. Just lurking and learning on WP Central. I have not left android just checking out WP. I will say this 925 has a kick *** camera that's for sure! Was thinking about adding GDR3 but will wait a few more days...
