Thinking I want one, who wants an S3?

Free ? Sold to the hairy man with the captains hat

cannot do free. Hmmm paid 850... Whatcha offering?

I can get the S4 for 199 on a 2 year contract........

why Windows phone? i looked at it, but it sucks so much compared to Android or even IOS that i decided to go S3.

So, really, how do you actually feel about a Windows phone, M?

Without wanting to start BoD frothing at the mouth, I'm seeing a big shift in former iOS junkies towards Android. I'm not seeing the same shift of te original wise ones who started on Android moving to Windows phone.

June 6th I leave Blackberry after 9 years of using their phone. s4 here I come.......

I have to say prior to win8, wouldn't think of a windows phone, looking at the Nokias for like 279, works for me. Can get work mail, office, interface is good, easy to navigate and 279 bucks with no contracts. It also has some rather good maps and can do GPS for cars offline....

Android is ok, but find it limited

I'm struggling to understand how someone who finds Android limited would find windows phone not.

At work we're barred from using Windows phones because they can not securely connect with Microsoft Exchange. There are applications for both iOS and Android which allow this, just not Windows. Seems kinda strange to me....

Basically they are phones... Not real tools... I quite like the windows interface now, but will see what the blue update offers...

Yer all such brand snobs

Far from it. Given the processing and memory power available on current devices, labelling them as "phones" is pretty short sighted. They are mobile computers!! Making phone calls and sending text messages is one of their basic functions. But they can do a hell of a lot more.

and so in being so, the windows phone makes more sense as it syncs with my windows desktop.

Whereas my android phone syncs with the cloud!

Clouds are best left for weather systems as far as I am concerned.

Ohhhhh pretty

Same for me. After some initial set up pains it works really well and everything syncs up properly. Easy to use, top quality screen, robust and an amazing camera. I would show you a photo example if I could remember how to add a photo to a Forum post!

Yup so I did it, upgrade/downgrade to win8 phone. Cheap, and hooked to work mail 5 mins outside the shop

Now what to do with the other

I don't know any succesfull phone on winmobile.. So it's normal to expact something rather not good on win 8 mobile.. I prefer android and I'm happu with my SE xperia mini st15i that my colleagues call "an mp3player"

So baloo, how's the android? Have I told you how much I like my windows phone lately?

Love it.

The only thing I miss is BlackBerry's unified Inbox. Other than that I'm very very happy with the change.

Do you have to use third party for work mail? I had to use touchdown and I hated it

Work only allow iOS for email so I have to resort to an iPad mini for that

same here: we can only use IOS for work related stuff. having said that: it is quite easy to set up the email client to receive work related email on the S3. as long as you have the password that logs you onto the network...

Bet windows phone would work
