That's the biggest thing is usability. I'm with VZW, so it was Trophy or no Windows Phone at all. My brother's got a Razr Maxx and the only thing I'm envious of is that massive battery it has (3000+ mAh in a small body), but I routinely find things faster. People with Android and iPhone have been amazed when I've shown them the People Hub and how it works. And the Live Tiles always impress.
My brother will be getting a WP8 device as will every friend I've shown my Trophy to. Some will be leaving Apple and others Android, but all were convinced of Windows Phone's superiority with just a few minutes using my Trophy. And the app gap is closing as well, with all the WP7 apps functional on WP8 and the new code base of WP8, I think this platform will do nothing but grow in a big way.
Crazy how simple demonstrations can win even the most die hard Android and Apple lovers over. When I hired in and got my Trophy, my coworkers made fun of me nonstop. One of them has a best friend who works for AT&T and has a Lumia 900. Now he loves Windows Phone and will be snatching up the first one VZW gets along with me!
