You realize two of your links is from 2012!? Android 4.4 was just put as more stable than iOS recently and has changed so much since 2012 overall. The J.D. link didn`t help your case at all because Samsung was the highest rated Manufacturer after Apple according to them. Your case about your coworkers is very anecdotal, and does not prove anything and to say they are Samsung devices makes it worse seeing as they are the heaviest with customization. To say Windows Phone does the essentials best is very subjective. Also, WP8 does not have the casuals games yet. The latest ones, Cut the Rope 2 and Threes are nowhere to be found on WP.
Um, most people who have Android have them from the time period in question. There are newer satisfaction articles that still show the same, but I just picked the first couple I came across. The JD Powers shows Nokia ahead of Samsung at AT&T where there majority of the users were at the time. The lower scores for Nokia on T-Mobile may have something to do with the 8XX variant that T-Mobile stopped support on after several months. The 52X variant is too new to really impact this survey.
As to casual games, it's got the Temple Run series, Subway Surfers, Rail Rush, all of the Angry Birds, the Asphalt series, most Mini-Clip made games (like Rail Rush), most of the Disney games, Minion Rush, Ragdoll Run, Royal Revolt, etc... Cut the Rope is one of the few franchises that doesn't seem to understand that WP has a higher monetization rate. Not all of the latest and greatest games get on WP right from the start, but that is slowly changing. The reality is, however, that most, as I said, of the best casual games are on WP.
But thanks for taking this thread into territory where it should be in the OS wars forum.
