So, I just bought a Windows Phone after trying nearly every current high-end Android/iOS device in the past 3 months (iPhone 5s, LG G2, Note 3, Moto X) and I have a few questions. I would've preferred to wait for the Lumia 929, and I did... for over month now, but I got sick of waiting and was able to get a used Lumia 928 for $210 shipped. I initially was on the fence about trying Windows Phone 8 as I really didn't see any real benefits over my current Moto X (which I really, really like), but at $210 I figured why not. Plan on keeping this until my next big purchase which will most likely be a Galaxy S5, but that's a different story. Okay, I think I've rambled enough... time for some questions:
1.) Does the Lumia 928 support group messaging? I thought I read that this was blocked by Verizon, and if that's the case, can I re-enable it?
2.) How's the battery life on this thing?
3.) Can I keep my Google Account/Gmail and sync contacts/calendar with that instead of outlook?
4.) Is there a Google Play Music app (either official or non-official) on Windows phone?
5.) How's the camera quality on this thing? I'm not the biggest picture guy, but in the summer/spring months I tend to take a lot of pictures and they need to come out good.
6.) On Android and iOS I was very into rooting/jailbreaking, what is the equivalent on Windows Phone and if this is possible what are the benefits?
Thanks in advance for the answers!
