Have the sales figures been good for the Windows Nokias? I know people who have bought them just because they weren't Apple or Samsung and, you know, had funky colours :roll:

I'm having to send the article to my Kindle...

They seem to be very popular over here (Windows Phone had more market share than iPhone at the end of last year), although I am not seeing that many on the streets.

Eldest daughter has a Lumia. I've been thinking about a Lumina, I don't like iOS and I'm not impressed with Android.

I actually think if I was not an Apple User the Windows phone was the one that impressed me most last year.

I quiet like the windows phone interface, but I'd never have a windows phone. The app store is laughable.

Yes the interface was new and actually novel and not simply copying Apple. The App store issue is only a problem if you want lots of different apps. If they can make widgets from web pages they could solve some of those problems.

All the apps I use in my Android are available in WP or have equivalents (E.g. Doggcatcher is the only one not available but there are plenty of alternative Podcast apps.
