I have been a strong supporter of the WP8 platform ever since it came out and I received my Lumia 920. I had never been too tied to any other platforms and after much research I decided to give WP8 a try. To me it also made sense to try a new platform or else we would end up with only an Apple/Android option if a third platform didn't start challenging them. Some of the things I love on WP8: Nokia makes great phones, Camera Quality and Camera Apps are wonderful, OS runs very smoothly, live tiles are great, SkyDrive, and office integration. There are any other reasons I like the platform as well but lately, I am finding that WP8 is just not giving me the full smartphone experience. Some examples: I have many instances where friends will either send me a link to try an App, or show me an app they are using that I love. Then I head over to the Store excited to download the App only to find....*drumroll please*....no app is available, this happens all the time. Also many of the Apps I do use rarely get support or updates and I have had to remove some of them because they kept crashing. The most recent thing that has made me start taking steps away from Windows Phone is the new Ford I purchased has SYNC software which on the logo says it is by Microsoft. As I drove off in my new car I thought "Well great, this is Microsoft so my windows phone should work perfectly with it."......WRONG! Not only doesn't it support the texting feature in SYNC , but it doesn't support the Applink feature as well. From the Ford SYNC Website: "SYNC AppLink-compatible mobile applications are available for Android?, BlackBerry?, and iPhone". I really have given Windows Phone a good try, but sadly I think the time has finally come for me to throw in the towel. Good luck Windows Phone, I gave you a solid try but you're just not for me.
