I feel quite the same. Wp's design language is simply the best I've ever seen, but the main problems are apps, costumization and microsoft's inability to progress while implementing basic features (notification center in 2014 was cool, but a bit too late). My first smartphone was running Windows phone, so I wasn't really aware of Android news for many years (iphone just isn't my type of phone) and only recently I got fed up waiting for WM to change and seeing it slowly go android (except apps ) way, so I tried my friend's broken nexus 4. And I simply loved it. Android has changed a lot from 2.1 - 4.4 days. Now it looks acctually good and somewhat minimalistic, if you invest time in cleaning up the os. Gone are the days of clumsy ugly os with lag at every corner, dull launchers (I liked the HTC Sense, but others not so much). Whenever I feel lack of any functuonality there's an app for that. Want to change your clock ? You can ! Wan to add that particular feature ? Possible ! Wanna change your os ? Pick one of thousands of roms! Want to play that game your friend is playing ? No worries it surely is in the app store ! This is what I'am living through in past weeks. Wm has to improve A LOT to make me even consider going back. Moving to andoid was well worth the sacrifice I had to make while leaving wp. I've sold my 920 and now hoping to buy used xperia z2 in comming weeks.I kept my faith until a few weeks ago and then finally had enough and bought an iPhone 6S Plus.
I am sorry to say that I feel liberated. It is as if a great burden has been lifted and I no longer have to lie to myself and pretend that Windows Phone is fine.
