I am currently running a company on an iPhone 5s. I'm happy with the phone, but am very bored with the OS. Some of the features I use the most in my iPhone I can't seem to figure out if it works that way on WP8. Can anyone clear up some of my must haves. I'm looking for actual answers from people with experience, not just the Apple haters.
1. I live and breath Siri. I use it more than any feature. Sending and receiving texts and emails. Making phone calls. Mapping. Booking appointments. Setting alarms and timers. I use Siri at least 100 times in a day. And that's a slow day. Is there a WP8 comparable feature, better or worse.
2. Calendars. I have 10 different calendars on my iPhone. I schedule all my employees, all my sub-contractors, my personal reminders and shared calendars all on the same app. Is WP calendar that in depth? Better/worse.
3. Does WP have visual voice mail?
4. Can I tether my Surface Pro?
5. App store. The biggest complaint people post about WP is the comparison to Apples App Store. I use it on my Surface, but most WP apps won't work on the Surface(which is a completely different rant on stupidity) The reviewers complain that the number just aren't there. Do you even notice?
6. Is there an office suite that I don't have to pay monthly for?
If you've got some advice on one of these or all of these please let me know. I haven't really decided on a handset yet, but will probably aim for the Lumia Icon or something comparable. I don't want anything much bigger than that.
