The best read on the platform I've read in a while. It is not a long read but do yourself a favor and read it. I've posted a sample below but click the link to read the full story. Post your opinions below the fold.
"I had tried to make the switch a few times in the past, but couldn?t bring myself to do it permanently, because I felt using the Windows Phone platform meant making too many sacrifices versus Android or iOS. I no longer feel that is that case, with my particular use model. [Nokia Lumia 1520] This won?t be true for everyone, but as someone who uses his smartphone mostly for e-mail, web browsing, managing a few servers and desktop PCs, and using social networks, Windows Phone 8.1 is great. There are still far fewer apps available for the platform versus Android and iOS, but at this point, the only things I really miss are a few games, hence the reason I also keep a Note 3 on hand.
If Windows Phone was able to win me over, it should be able to convert a large number of consumers as well. And it seems to me as if now?RIGHT NOW?is a perfect time for Microsoft to get far more aggressive with their Windows Phone push.."
