Hey 928 Forum!
I am in need of advice. I currently have an iPhone 4S and on Monday I can upgrade. I am really interested in the Lumina 928 (actually I'm drooling over the 1020, but I really don't want to leave Big Red). Talk to me. What are my benefits in switch to WP8 over iOS or Android. I could really use your advice my friends! Thanks!
There are a ton of positives / benefits, but it really depends on what other technology you are using. If you are really reliant on Google, I would be more hesitant to move over, but if you are in the Microsoft / Windows / Xbox / Bing / SkyDrive camp, I would definitely recommend it.
I had an iPhone since the beginning, and had been primarily using Apple software / hardware primarily ~2005 (but with a strong Windows background beforehand). I kind of got sick of the Apple UI a few years back and hadn't booted to OS-X on my MB Pro in years in favor of W7, so decided to jump ship and try something new. I'm not a huge app person, and while the app store was pretty slim back at WP8 launch, it has gotten steadily better since. Now I'm enjoying the integrated experience of my W8 laptop, Desktop, Surface, Xbox and Phone, and not looking back.
Up until last week, I had a GSIII and iPhone 4s to compliment my L928, but since they were collecting dust I decided to sell them. I also got my hands on a Q10 flashed with 10.2, and while I love the hardware, the OS is significantly lacking and it would be much better suited running WP8.
The major benefit to WP8 is that it is exceedingly simple, fast and secure. I love to tinker with all my tech, but I've found I love not worrying about my smartphone. The app situation could be better, but it's not that bad right now
