What OS would you choose if Windows Phone was killed in 4 months?

[dipayanster]

WP is great. but if its killed, i guess i will go back to symbian. I am nokia through and through.

 

[Coreldan]

None of the current probably. Most likely see what Nokia does (hopefully Meego), but might also check out Jolla, but not sure if they'd make it in 4 months. Most likely would go back to my N8 and wait out for something I'd actually want. If Nokia went Android I probably wouldn't follow.

I'm surprised many would give BB10 a shot.

 

[jabtano]

It actually looks promising and fresh (except the grid of icons). At least one analyst says it will surpass windows phone in Canada. This isn't surprising given that a LOT of people still use blackberry here and on the other hand I have only seen one person use windows phone (the person who introduced it to me).

I can understand this point of view , my main thing was would it translate to sales. As we saw with the playbook that really got left behind bad.

I tend to go for what seems more interesting... Loved WebOS. BB10 would probably be my first choice, they've copied the best of all the platforms, it seems like there may be potential there. I've owned androids but never really loved them. That would be an option if I was drawn to any particular hardware and bb10 didn't impress.

Android I suppose, anything but Apple

Well if its any indication people still buy devices like the Bold 9900 which I would call dead devices. So when BB10 rolls out, if the marketing and more importantly word of mouth marketing is strong there could be significant potential even though BB is not going to be reaching iOS or android levels anytime soon. I expect there to be a modest increase in sales and eventually a niche market for folk like me who want the absolute best in messaging or physical keyboards.

Right back to WebOs and my trust Pre 2.

 

[brmiller1976]

Wow. Interesting question.

I'd probably submit to the Mother Ship and go iOS.

 

[doomtuba]

I would go with a Nexus phone. I'd rather not get an iPhone and I don't want to deal with the fragmentation of other Android sets. Maybe BB10 because I always like being different.

Came from Android, would return to Android. I don't like being told that I can't do something because nobody needs to do it. I'd get a One X+ and hope to **** it's supported for at least one OS upgrade.

-edit- Wow, can't say AYCH-EE-double hockeysticks? fail.

 

[11B1P]

Right back to webOs and my trust Pre 2.

Oh yeah, but with my Pre+. Or maybe a new Pre 2. Was looking at the Pre 2 before HP went to **** in a handbasket.

 

[cedarlog]

Nokia "whatever OS" , blackberry 10 or iphone my money will never enter google wallet

 

[tempusnovo]

I hate to say it, but if I couldn't have my Windows Phone, I would probably have to go with iOS. Likely an iPhone 5/iPad mini combo to replace my current Lumia/SurfaceRT pairing. I hate Apple so darn much, but they have the best ecosystem, hands down.

Re: The OP. if not wp8 I'd go back to BlackBerry and wait for BB10

 

[RyanR47]

To iPhone 5

 

[Sanjay Chandra]

Symbian
