There no point in buying windows. It's between iOS and Android. Changing ecosystems is a big deal and you want to be going to one which is well supported. That might be Windows one day but not at the moment.

What do you need that Windows PHONE doesn't offer?Quote:

There are more articles but they more or less all say the same 10 things.
Like Dave said, android in general are usually very allowing when it comes customization.
Like my 3 year old HTC Desire, which have the possibility to set 10 different alarm clock times
and each can be activated independently from each other and each can customized further
when it comes what days the alarms should be used on. Most likely all new phones have this though
but I thought it could be worth mentioning,
Also for android phones you can install non-authorized/3rd party apps (can be toggled on/off) while
Iphone only will install the apps that Apple have approved,
Simply put you get the control over your own phone, for Iphone Apple decides for you want you are not supposed to have.
The default mode is to not allow installation of such apps so no need to bother with it
if you don't want to use it.
Android phones also can be used as a regular diskdrive with windows explorer
which means that it will function like a regular hard drive/USB-memory so that you
can simply drag and drop the files to/from/within the phones storage.
I don't have an S4 nor an I5 so I can't give you more info then this.

Is Mark going to the dark side?
:D
No point. He said he is thinking of switching to Android, not Windoze. :DQuote:

I haven't seen enough Windows phones to form a first hand opinion. Over here it seems they can't hardly give them away.
Depth of app support. First one I checked; Strava, not on Windows. End of story.Quote:

Mind you iOS 7 is out tomorrow so we'll see how that changes my iPhone.
Why limit yourself to the S4? The HTC One and Sony Xperia Z are equally worthy, are better built and are probably cheaper these days than the Samsung, plus aren't as bloated with pre-loaded software.Quote:

I would also cast an eye over Windows phones, I know the apps aren't as well covered as for iphone/android but you might well be pleasantly surprised. I'm absolutely delighted with mine.
Aren't as well covered is one way to put it. Practically non existent is another.
Google, MS, Apple it does not matter they are all the same, Apple is possible even worse then Google.Quote:
