What do you like and not like about this phone? My contract has been up for quite a while, and I'm still debating with what to replace my current iPhone 4. What carrier?
Specifically, quality of phone calls, quality of phone connection (e.g. dropped calls), does that tiled interface actually work in daily usage, camera quality, speed, quality of internet connection.

The phone is freaking huge. And slippery. (I have dry skin, so it always feels like it's going to squirt out of my hand. :p )
Quality of calls, etc, are just fine as far as I'm concerned. But I don't really have much to compare it to. I've only had a "smart" phone since 2008 or so, and it has always been a Windows phone.
My wife had an iPhone for about 1 day, the traded it in for a Samsung. She's up to S3, was looking at an S4 (but since the S5 is coming, she'll wait a bit).
I like the tiles. Very convenient. All my normal activities are right there, one touch to open, with notifications built in.
Camera is excellent, of course. I almost got the 1020 for 41 MP camera, but didn't like the bump. This one is good enough. (If you Facebook, I've got a few public shots up from it in the Andrew "Bulldog" Wojcik photo album. The ones toward the bottom where you can see the white balance has gotten better. https://www.facebook.com/daniel.j.wojcik[^]. Not great shots, but not bad at all for snapshots in a school gym with all automatic settings.
Havne't had any issues with connectivity.
I'm not crazy about the micrphone, however. If I have the phone sitting in the car and have to talk to it, it doesn't always hear me unless I shout. The 900 didn't have that problem.

Still I didn't have taste of other Mobile OS. However I feel compatible with Symbian OS mobile.

I have a Nokia 206- Is it available there? And i do agree with you.

Yeah, it's a dumb phone. It doesn't play games, access the Internet, send e-mail (except in fairly specific cases), or do social media. What it does is make and receive phone calls and text messages. I neither need nor want 100% connectivity.

The Alias is perfect for me. I will mourn when it dies.

As the results show so far, it's incredible that hamsters prefer Windows Phone rather than iPhone, me included.

why? iPhone is a toy for little girls with rich parents and people who don't know tech and want to pay for half-eaten apples. Not the avarage CP user it seems

Keep in mind, the results are of people who actually took the poll, not all CPers.

Not that surprising, this site has historically been most active for MS technologies, so I'd expect there to be selection bias in the sample set.

Still... WP is a relatively new platform and iOS came before Android. Yet Android dominates even here and it is not an MS platform.
If I could guess is it's the fault of iOS closeness nature, which tend to repel power users like CPians.

i'd say it's more cuz most of us already have been forced to get used to java and like being able to use c++.
and nobody wants to bother learning objective c.
that's the case for ME at least.

Yes, I for one am an avid WP user. The OS is really nice and yes, I do have a bias towards MS and MS techs so my opinion is a little skewed. However I have used the iphone and android and still prefer the WP. Android is my second.

Used over 10 years: Nokia 3510 - then my son swapped it with his Nokia 100 before he went overseas. Candybars are great: the battery lasts a whole week between charges.

I was using the Lumia 800 on 1.5 years and it works so well that I bought Lumia 1020. Now I have Lumia 2520 tablet also, so everything goes smoothly together.

A classic example of a multiple choice question without an alternative answer therefore skewing the result. None of the above apply. I have a Blackberry but that is because my Company supplies it. If it was up to me I would just have basic phone.

I have an iPad for playing and a cheap and cheerful Nokia for making calls. It isn't smart but that's why I have the iPad.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

There is a huge number of Chinese knock-off iPhones name HiPhone, MyPhone, etc.
Mine is simply named Phone! Honest.
