I've had the 1020 for 8 days today (coming from the 920) and in that time I have read & watched over 30 articles/tutorial videos on how to take pictures.
I mainly take pictures indoors (home,bars,restaurants,etc) so I need to use the flash. The main problem I have is with the yellow tint I know there's ways around it but for a phone that's supposed to have the best camera phone ever you would think it would at least do the point and shoot better than everything else.
Most of my friends, coworkers, & family have the iPhone 5s and when comparing it to the 1020 it's shameful. I have never been so embarrassed... Before anyone says anything I am the most pro Microsoft person I know! I own and use 0 Apple or Google products but seeing how easy the iPhone can just point and shoot. There's definitely something to be said about the being able just grab your phone and capture moments with friends without making them stand around or hold poses while you fix WB settings.
I can honestly say if it were just the camera I could deal with it but after what feels like years of fighting a losing battle (trying to convince everyone I know that WP is not a joke and it's better than iPhone in many ways) I feel like at the end of the day I'm just missing out on moments with friends and family.
For example: a couple weeks ago WP got Subway Surfers, I was excited because I remembered my friends playing it almost everyday and when I finally got it. I asked them to play most said they were over it and I should play Flappy Bird. (and of course it's not on WP yet) This is just one of many examples I could go on but you get the idea.
At this very moment I am contemplating selling my 1020 and getting an iPhone 5s. (Never thought I would ever say that sentence) I have been with Windows mobile/WP since 2006 and everyone tells me my problem is I am too loyal.
I want to ask the WP Community, is there really any reason to stay with WP besides blind loyalty? Also, I'm tired of people asking me what phone is that and making jokes about it... Maybe I've been around too many isheep (I don't know anyone with a WP in rl) I was planning on waiting to see Cortana and WP8.1 but idk anymore. So I'm asking please tell me why WP is worth sticking around for because I can't see it anymore....
Thank you so much for reading.
