so just the other day i've had my first experience with windows phone 7 while changing apn settings for a customer and i have to say, it's a respectable mobile platform. If i was forced to choose a non android phone, my next phone would be windows phone. So im just wondering others opinions
It's not bad, very usable. Too bad it doesn't support dual core yet.

It would be good in my opinion of it had a more modifying and customization expect. But it seems to be too empty and not very entertaining to me.

But, yes, it's a great OS. I have one, got my mom one who didn't want an iphone. It's great. But yes, the lack of customization is a downside, especially if coming from android. I think some themes in the way of background pictures or a lwp would be great, awesome for the people who have alot of tiles and therefore spend some time scrolling through the home screen. It's very intuitive with very little options, which like iOS, is why it's intuitive. Big reason I don't recommend android to people not able to pick up tech and "know" how to use it. It was a much needed change to save microsoft's mobile market. Too bad, I don't see it selling much. Walk into the store and the idiotic sales people will point you straight to an iPhone or Android device and sway you away from looking at the WP7. Then there is the "flashy" aspect. Walk in the store and ignore everyone and your eyes will be drawn to the cool factor of iOS and Android. Just my 2 cents and take it for what it's worth.
smooth and stable. I think, it lacks a few apps but there are alternatives.

Awesome write up! Iphonie is no match for Android!!
I absolutely disagree. This article is very biased, the iPhone 4's hardware is not unimpressive, it kills the Evo's 8MP camera with its 5MP camera. Making one iPhone a year allows them to keep the prices high and the demand high as well. They mention jailbreaking, but we all know Android devices are locked down too, you can't get rid of bloatware like the Nascar app without rooting. I had to root my phone to take a screenshot, no means were required for me to do that on iPhone. I'm not a fanboy either, I use Android as my main OS and have both Apple and Android phones.
Google is killing apple with android man its like 100androids vs. 1iphone

Lol. I just made the switch today from the HTC one x. So far I love everything about this phone.

Lol that guy in post 3 is a joke. Another brainwashed Apple fan boy. The only thing he is correct about is that the iPhone is easier to see in the sun. IPhone 5 is only getting a bigger screen because they are losing market share, same goes for turn by turn navigation.
By getting it right I assume he means "waits for someone else to innovate, then copies them and claims to be innovative"

it's just crazy thinking how these apple fan boys brag about their phone compared to android but deep inside they're envious.
Ok ok I don't think 3 post is from Apple washed brained. He is just 'trying' to explain the benefits of the iphone over android, but he fails with every word he said. The apple ecosistem is nearly perfect but if you are not into iphone doesn't worth it so much... They bring you a seamless experience more than features...

Love apple fanboys having their little rages if anything bad is said about iPhone, or their messiah Steve Jobs (who, I'm sure some apple fanboys believe will rise from the dead.)
Not shocking one bit. Most of my coworkers have iphone and whenever they're at my desk, they always play with my phone for minutes on ends and would forget why they're there for. I, on the other hand, could care less about a toy phone that predates 2008.
Got my first "smartphone" in 2010. I had the option of SGS1 vs iPhone 3GS and I went with the iPhone 3GS. Probably one of the worst decision of my life, if not THE worst decision. Told my sister to get the SGS1 when her contract expires in a months time and swapped phones right away.
I'd say that for first time users who are not computer savvy at all (and to some extent a bit lazy) will like the iPhone, everything is there for you and iTunes is pretty much a one stop shop for anything/everything. No tinkering required at all except a few email setup/account syncs. Basically, a boring phone. The only thing you can really "develop" is an app.
Android on the other hand is a pandora's box. The amount of open source developing, customisation, tweaks, themes, roms is just amazing. You can pretty much mix and match different options from ROMS/Themes and have your phone the way you want it.
Unless the next few versions of iPhone have 3D Holographic tech, strippers/lap dance included, unlimited free drinks at any bar in the world, a batmobile and 10% of its shares, it will be inferior to the Android any day.
Muhahahaha

And oh, i almost forgot, even funnier Siri.

You don't mean advanced tech, like the super advanced SD card so you?
My sister's partner had an iPhone, with a pin, he passed away and no one knows the pin, the only way to make it usable is a factory reset, which will wipe all data, as we all know, including pics, music etc.
Or even the even more advanced tech like a fail safe if you forget your pin, similar to how android allows you to sign into your google account if your pin is entered incorrectly.
They will get a minor hardware upgrade. Bigger screen maybe, just maybe, a quad core processor and definitely a new version of ios. Too bad ios will still stuck, you will still have to enslave yourself to the iTunes store, you still won't be able to pull the battery and insert a fresh spare when it's flat, and you'll have to wait until after android owns you again before you have to pay thru the nose again for another minor hardware update.

Ordered my 32GB S3 from Sprint today so should be getting it by Friday at the latest. I've been dying to have it in my hands after being around so many friends who own an iPhone and being able to flaunt it in their faces. However, with the iPhone 5 just around the corner, I'm a little worried that I won't be able to make them as envious as us Android users have been able to do for quite some time now. We've had bigger screens, turn-by-turn GPS, more powerful phones, etc. but as Samsung's new CEO said the future of smartphones will be primarily about the software on it and it's a lot easier to show off a bigger, beautiful screen to an iSheep than to try and explain to them software advantages.
lol at this thread... nice to be in some educated company for a change instead of putting up with apple fanboy drivel. Isheep LMFAO

For this, I have thanked you. Funniest quote of the day.
I laugh at Apple fanboys tbh. The amount of things I can do with Android without altering it is endless; while with altering the possibilities are endless. As for their iPhone; they need to Jailbreak it to even change slight things.
Apple goes for innovation, and new ideas.. But these "new ideas" are not new, and is always at least one year old by the time they release their phone.

Plus, we have all seen the ios 6 video. The features suck. There is no new ones. Nothing interesting. I used to be a bit brainwashed by apple when I did a bit of development for my touch, but I don't think I'll even buy one of those now. Even all my friends who think apple is the best are seeing my beast sgs and saying "damn why don't I have one of those?"

My only dabble with Windows Phone showed me that it was a very nice and slick UI that I really enjoyed using, but I had to have it plugged into my PC and run iTunes Zune to do anything with it.
It was locked and wouldn't accept 3rd party installations (but I expect that's not a problem to anyone that's heard of the search function), and was just unfriendly.
There's plenty of Android and Windows Phone fanboys about. You'll get arguments for both. The best bet is to have a play with lots of different phones and take into account the hardware as well as the OS. Just spend a day in a shop and bug the hell out of the assistants. That's what they're there for.
What do you think are the best features that your nexus 4 is capable off.
Personally I think the fact you can use it as a gaming console (ps3 controller and hdmi output) is a fantastic feature of the phone.
Also the fact I can use it as a tablet type device by reading pdfs (essential for work) and as a media centre with the music and films.
What are your favourite features of this phone and of android in general?
This could be a useful thread for people to learn about things they weren't aware of . So what aspects do you enjoy the most?

The communities these devices generate.. All the way back from lurking SDX Developers to present day to being a heavy poster on XDA.. I've enjoyed every minute I lurk and post on these boards. You meet some interesting folks, you have some great laughs, some not so great arguments, and more importantly constantly learning... If you're willing to listen.. There is always someone around here willing to help another person out.. All you gotta do is ask.. And if you get bored.. You can pick any thread in the development section, start from page one and just read.. You're bound to learn something new..
The best feature of Android is IMO that it is open source and the best feature of the Nexi is IMO that they run clean Android and have full fastboot support.
having used an Android phone since the OG Galaxy S (Captivate), i've really come to love that the Nexus isn't locked to any particular carrier, and has no bloatware. in the past, i've always felt like i had to root and ROM my phones the moment i got them, just to get rid of AT&T's craptastic pre-loaded apps. i've had my N4 for nearly 3 whole months and haven't found a NEED to mod it at all (i still may in the future because of a desire to, but the need isn't there).
that's why i love the Nexus...
The Dev community.

Off contract, unlocked, open file system.
I've been firmly entrenched in Apple's ecosystem for almost 30 years, and while most apps still exhibit more polish on iOS... Android is catching up.
Nexus 7 was the first Android device that impressed me, and Nexus 4 is more of the same. While I initially missed the ability to communicate via AppleEvents to my server, I managed to solve that problem and there is now very little iOS abilities I miss on Android.
best feature is that i bought one for $220 from a friend of mine

its not worth losing money over changing imho. the only s4 flaw that worries is me is potential burn in if you are heavy user in bright environments. Check the s3 screens on demo at your local store. nasty burn in on them...
The one all the way man. The s4 may have a bunch of cool features but how many of them do you use? And just look at it... It's freaking beautiful compared to the plastic crap...

Its tricky but if possible spend a little time with One. Not just couple of minutes but little more than that.
There are niggles with even One. Those who own the device will most of the times give you biased opinions. As owner of both, I would not feel it will be sound advice to tell someone to ditch S4 in favour of One and on top of that lose money in the process.
Rather than make another long post about it, I will link to my previous post in locked thread. That thread had to be cleaned because fanboys on both sides just made it ugly in there. And in the end mod had to delete all but OP and my post
Anyway here is the link to it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41699179&postcount=2
Think twice before making a move. One is beautiful device, but S4 is equally good(not in terms of looks) and probably more functional with more traditional way of doing things which are universal to most android handsets. One takes completely different path.
Development for both phones wont be an issue. S4 and One both have great development work going on for it.

This is what I am talking about. Blind one sided view of things. Nothing on One works like stock android by default unless you change the Sense 5 launcher with something else. Not even simple wallpaper changing or creating shortcuts and dragging tray icon apps etc. Even these basic things are done differently. HTC specifically have gone their own way about almost everything with One. Some people love it, some hate it. I dont like it.
And development will not be an issue. S4 has been out for less than a month. One had shortages but it was in hands of lot of developers early.
S4 already had Omega and Wanam ROMs, two top recognised developers for Samsung phones. More will jump in eventually. It is just matter of time.
TWUI is more functional than Sense 5. It may not look as elegant as our sense to look at, but it works just fine. It might have colour scheme that represents brazilian rainforest, but it is functional and most actions work like stock android. So even if someone is coming from likes of Nexus 4 or older Samsung phones or even any old ICS or JB and even gingerbread, they will feel right at home.
S4 may not be as good looking, as well built phone as One, but it is no slouch. Definitely not something that is worth less than One or something you need to throw out to get One and lose money in process.
It has its share of problems just like we have our own share of problems with One. And that is something lot of people here wont accept (that One really does have issues ).
I still use One as my primary phone, that does not mean I am ready to tell someone to ditch his perfectly fine S4 to get One.

I like One, but I would not pay $100 to switch. Both are the best phone available. I believe S4 is more functional in certain area too. But I really can't take the Brazilian rainforest colour scheme which has no style at all, it's just trying to target all kind of audience including 15 years kid. I like the Sense style, it's elegant and classy, undeniable best speakers, best low night camera, etc...

Disable the gimmick apps, those are for marketing. Use the phone instead.
Thanks a lot guys for your honest thoughts. From what I read. I'm guessing its smart to stick with my S4 for a little while still. It's plasticiy and it has a bit of lag time after time. Hope it will get better. And than maby I'll wait until next spring. I only used Htc for a long time maby it's ok with a bit of change for some months.

The One is only okay.
I've extensively used both the One Dev. Ed. and the GS4 and you're not missing out on anything. I am currently using the One and trying out various launchers. IMHO the GS4 had a better phone, calendar, email app, and I really miss 4.2.2. Don't be fooled by the unlocked bootloader: I've literally installed every custom ROM on the One. The difference between the screens is negligible, yet the autobrightness of the One is more functional and CM 10.1 has excellent autobrightness (unfortunately, the screen would go black every time I made a phone call. I like Blinkfeed, but am disappointed by Sense. The GS4 and the One are my first Android phones and I would readily choose the GS4. I have every intention to sell my One and buy the 32gb GS4.
Disable the s4 gimmick features and the phone will speed up
