Having just switched to a WP8 after having both iPhone and Android, I'm beginning to see why Google won't put any of their apps on WP.
They're scared... and they should be. After much consternation, I've come to the conclusion that WP8, is where I want to be right now.
After being bored with the iPhone, and not neccessarily wanting to go back to Android, I decided to give WP8 a try. I got the Nokia 1520, simply cause I liked the beastly specs on it... (even, though I didn't know what they were exactly, before I ordered it). So, the phone came, and because I was having a problem getting my GMail contacts loaded, I panicked, and decided to bail on WP8.
So I call customer service and get them to send me a HTC One Mini. Well, while waiting for the Mini, my contacts finally loaded, (don't know what the problem was), and immediately my perception began to change. I started liking the phone and OS more, and more.
Fast Forward to the other day, and my Mini arrives, OMG... Android compared to WP8 seems so convoluted, I mean, I wouldn't have neccessarily known it without actually comparing the OS's in a short period of time directly.
All I have to say, is the WP8 gives me my info quickly and concisely, while Android just seemed, sloppy and discombobulated. I now see, why Google doesn't want to play nice with Microsoft, lol... THEY KNOW, that if WP8 gets all the "cool" apps, they'd have some SERIOUS competition, in addition to iOS.
I'm glad to finally have given WP an honest chance... Once the app selection gets there, and Microsoft keeps advancing the platform, I think the near future could be the breakout WP has been poised for!!!
