Windows Phone OEM's (Excluding Nokia) That Have You Most Excited

[Washed Up Former Child Actor]

We know that Samsung, HTC and Sony have recently renewed their commitment to WP and will be releasing new WP devices in the near future. Personally I'm most excited about Sony especially if they can deliver something similar to the new Xperia on Android. For me they're the only company that could convince me to leave Nokia for my next WP.

What about all of you? Your thoughts?

I absolutely LOVE the HTC Windows Phones.
I use a Lumia 920 right now, but I like HTC's signature design better. In my opinion, the 8X is by far one of the most beautiful phones I have ever seen.

HTC have to support Windows Phone better than they do currently. Then their next WP flagship will be mine! *-*

I would have to stick with Samsung although HTC have some good devices. I didn't think that Sony had made a firm commitment to Windows Phone yet though.

Definitely HTC. The One has great hardware and I love the speakers. I wish they'd still would make WP specific designs because the 8x is still one of the most beautiful phones ever made. Hope they bring dual-cameras, boom sound (vers. 2) and all top notch hardware and I'd buy another HTC device.

Nokia! I like nokia's colorful design. They are Great phones with good cameras. I like 8X also, but Nokia has a Lot of software inside Samsung's Windows Phone is more beautiful than all their android phones.
Sony is not going to make Windows phone

None of them have made a firm commitment to WP. It's as always... MS is sending each company a few hundred million in advertising support or offering other goodies in exchange for their participation in the WP ecosystem.

IMHO that amount of commitment leaves no room for excitement. I'll judge the products when they arrive, but if history is anything to go by, they will all provide the bare necessities required to cash MS' checks and be done with it.

Lenovo. I kinda want a Droid Razr Maxx with that 3000Mah battery that runs windows phone.

On the one hand, since my original Focus, I've been criticising Samsung for doing nothing more than recycling their Galaxy line. On the other the newest GS is something I wouldn't mind seeing recycled as a WP device.

This is why no oem excites me, they are all just doing the bare minimum. I'd actually like to see imate make a comeback as a partner, they had some crazy ideas but at least were thinking outside the box.

I could've sworn I read an article on this site not too long ago about Sony & MS reaching a deal to make windows phones

Lenovo.... Need a good old Droid 4 with WP slapped on it to get a physical keyboard back on!!

Otherwise, Samsung or Sony. Sammy has earned my respect for their devices. You will be hard pressed to get a bad from me or my family for the Focus S, Captivate Glyde, Note 1, or any of the feature phones we have used from them. I am glad they stayed onboard. I love Sony's hardware. I think it is fantastic. And until we hear otherwise, I believe Sony will work out a deal to be a part of WP.

HTC and Lenovo

I'd probably stick with Nokia except with the ever increasing screen (and phone) size I might have to move to another manufacturer. I wouldn't have a problem with either Samsung or HTC if the hardware suits my needs. A buddy has a Samsung S4 mini which is nice phone and I had an HTC Evo which was also a solid device. I'm not too hot for Motorola devices and I doubt we'd see a WP device from them anyway. For me it will come down to size. I don't want anything larger than my 822.

 

[BIGPADDY]

I would love a SONY WP device!

With something similar to the Z2.

Same here, but the slide at MWC didn't have Sony listed.

 

[dameon_03]

Damn... Well let's hope that changes because Sony when they want to can make some stunning pieces of hardware.

 

[froi francisco]

Sony for me too

Didn't Sony sell their Vaio line? Wouldn't their WP device's have been part of that line? I have no idea. I don't follow Sony. Just asking.

Maybe they sold the PC division but kept the Vaio name, it's possible.
