I've just read that Nokia, who's mobile phone arm is now owned by Microsoft, has produced 3 Android phone with a promise of "more to come".
OK, it's a modified verson of 4.1.2 called The Nokia X Software Platform, but it's not Windows. |

I have to say I'm warming to my Windows phone now they are releasing more apps for it. I now have mobile banking, waze (a free sat nav) and its really easy to use. I'm not overly bothered about loads of games on it.
I would definitely consider getting a Windows phone next year when I'm due an upgrade. |

I'm with you about games and loads of pointless apps, I'm seriously considering swapping to a Windows phone when I up grade, our son has one and it's really slick and easy to use |

I have a Windows phone, as work are locked into Microsoft, and will only allow full access to Exchange from Microsoft devices running Microsoft products. Non MS devices have to use the web client. The lack of apps is frustrating, as I quite like the interface. It's neater than the android phone MrsJ has. |

Im due to get a Windows phone from work soon. We use ms all the time hence the change from blackberry.
I think they will have a place in the work sector, but not so much in the casual use arena. |

I work in the mobile phone industry, to be honest windows is the most improved software on phones of the last few years, certain models running windows 6.5 were awful but since windows mobile 7 they have improved. I personally prefer android buy each to there own . |

Funniest thing is I'm going to an Expo next week - an IT thing. Microsoft are one of the exhibitors, and the conference organisers provide an app for navigating the event.
It's available for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry. But NOT Windows Phone.
Epic fail for MS there. |

I have a windows phone currently running windows 8 & the latest Nokia Black update.
Personally wouldn't go back to Android as its clunky by comparison. The WP8 interface is so much easier to use and to access the apps you need, no need to scroll through pages its just there.
On the subject of apps,people say there aren't enough - never had this problem. My sports apps, weather apps, music etc all there & the Nokia apps are extremely well done.

We don't bother, if we can ever tear ourselves away from our zx spectrum desktop (usually when the dial up connection is being a bit punchy) then we just pop to the local phone box. Failing that a few quick spins of the dial on the house telephone usually does the trick  |

Zx spectrum? Talk about cutting edge - I'm still building my ZX80 home kit. |
