I have one. (lumina 920).
It has three buttons.
I often find myself having to hold down the three buttons for 20 seconds. (this is the windows phone equivalent to ctrl-Alt-del).
If you miss blue screens, hangs, reboots, tacky graphic design, too many clicks to do one thing, and assumption that you are there to serve the hardware rather than the hardware serve you, then you are all set for...>>WINDOWS PHONE!!!
Also, don’t forget new Windows Phone OS revisions often lead to having to throw away the phone (now compatible updates). Unlike Apple/android where you can run the new stuff on an old phone...Very handy when you signed a 2 year commit, and 8 months later the NEW WINDOWS PHONE software does not support your 8 month old hardware. (this really happened).
Anybody that KNOWS anywhing or pays their own bills or is not REQUIRED to own a windows phone will not.
Huh. My Android phone freezes up and/or crashes all the time, too. Go figure.
I’m on the raggedy edge of getting a Lumia 822. You give me pause.
Lucky I did not read your post before I got my Nokia 920.
The 920 does have a few pesky issues, like slightly poorer reception in rural areas, but have never had the experiences you say.
Being my first smart phone, I listened to friends who had both iPhone and AnDroid, besides being significantly smaller than the 920, they all had lots of complaints.
I’ve got the same Nokia 920 Phone and I love it. Only issue I have is the Battery running out of juice pretty quickly, the same issue I had with my old Android.
My Wife thinks it’s “operator error”, since she doesn’t have that issue with HER Nokia 920.
It did shut down once, when I dropped it on a Cement Floor after it got knocked off a counter about four feet high. I thought I screwed the pooch, but all it took to get it back was the three button reset. Love that Gorilla Glass.
Got rid of the Android. It drove me crazy. I got $60 for it from Gazelle or some other outfit.
