I?m not sure if anyone?s willing to take the bait (let alone the time and effort) but I?ve been an enthusiastic observer of this site for the past month and I?m strongly considering making the leap to WP8.
However I think I need one more big push and was seeking some unbiased advise (**** I?ll even accept bias advise) as to the pluses and minuses of Windows Phone as it currently is and how it projects to be with what is known about WP8.
Here?s a bit about me: I?ve had phones under the previous iteration of Windows Mobile in the past. Most recently I?ve had the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4 for the past few years but like many I?m suffering from iPhone fatigue and I?m ready to move on. So my choices are Android or WP. I love the basic UI of WP and the fact that it?s a presumably emerging OS. I?m a bit concerned about losing some basic functionality that I?ve become so accustomed to as well as some of the apps. I went on youtube and learned quite a bit including the fact that WP actually had many features that Apple?s been touting before they arrived on the iPhone! (poor marketing Microsoft??).
Are there any WP users that have switched recently from other phones that can tell me what you really love about WP and what may be a dealbreaker for someone like me? Any cool fetatures that the average phone user may not know? I realize our tastes are all subjective and one man?s treasure is another?s trash but I?d appreciate any feedback that you have.
