Which smartphone

[Cashew]

I can't tell you which phone to buy, but I've had a lumia 920 for almost a year. Yes, it's a windows phone and I have yet to have any problems with it.

It might depend on the user, but I do not have even the slightest issue finding any app in the store, especially with the advent of Win phone 8.1. The phone itself feels sturdy and shows no signs of damage after being dropped several times. This might be purely coincidental, mind you.

I can't agree with Cashew here, even if they were indeed going down the drain (which they aren't), it would hardly speak for their phone's quality. There is an unbelievable amount of fanboy-like behaviour and prejudices not based on any current fact.

Upon being asked why is Android better than Windows phone, the majority of people reply in a somewhat obtuse way, stating that that's what everyone says. (I do not intend to insult anyone here, Cashew, stay calm, will you? )

Seriously people, Nokia has it issues, but it's not utter garbage. They've only sold off their mobile division and are now focusing on new fields. Or something like that. I've heard they're into genetic research.

Or they might indeed be utter crap. And I'm a fanboy.

They are no longer making phones. Purely research etc now. That's a large sign they are going down the drain. I'd know, my father happens to work for them

Edit: Non aggressive reply intended. I also had a Lumia, I had no problems with it but I felt something was missing from it and sometimes random crashes occurred. Anyway it's personal preference as you say. I suggest going to the shop and have a play with the phones that usually dictates which one to go for.
