Got my Lumia device a month ago and i am liking it so far, because there are tons of features to discover. I know the 3 big mobile OS companies have some unsavory business practices, but I am so afraid of how creepy Google is in using your personal data.

But one thing is important to know that using WP is not easy to be learned in a day or two..it at least need a month to explore it full. I'm using WP 8.1 since 3 months and after every few days I invent something new in it

AnonD-122899, 03 Dec 2014Agree. IDC has been predicting Windows Phone and all its predictions are wrong. Till date, WP ... morePeople really only use a few apps. There is also an internet browser if you need to access anything. Windows Phone is here to stay since it will be one OS (Windows 10) to rule them all. Developer makes one app and it will run on all Windows devices. Doesn't matter if you have phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, etc...Hopefully Windows 10 will be free so all Windows 7 can move to it.

Had a windows phone, really didn't like it for what I like to do. It seemed like I needed 3 apps to run any social media.Im sticking with android until proven otherwise. I'm open minded. If windows can get a real app store I may go back. Good luck with any phone you buy.

AnonD-80609, 03 Dec 2014Okay IDC. you are telling that WP stays till 2018? hmmm great study. May be WP rise by 2018... moreAgree. IDC has been predicting Windows Phone and all its predictions are wrong. Till date, WP is still having miserable market shares. Everywhere I go are still not having apps for WP at all. 2018? That's a long 4 yrs time. WP may be just like another KIN's fate by then.

Okay IDC. you are telling that WP stays till 2018? hmmm great study.
May be WP rise by 2018 or it may perish just like symbian.
Or we could see a new leader in mobile OS other than Android and iOS.
Besides, what new OS has the capability to take over what android is giving? I dont see any. Hardly i see Android and iOS losing any market share.

iPhones are overpriced and iOS has been boring/static UI for years. Android is buggy and has no UI or consistent UI. Every OEM seems to have their own UI skin, which is a no-no for enterprise. Windows Phone just needs more features from Windows 10. It's already secure, fast, and stable OS. Unifying all the devices (mobile phones, tablets, desktop PCs, Xbox) under one OS and one app store is big step forward for Windows.

Actually, WP might be able to do that. The idea of 1 OS for all screen size / all devices is basically very helpful. We need to see the implementation and the support.
Another 2 cents, unfortunately the UI is a bit boring.

another un-relevant statistic...Android sharemarket successfully are from Mobile Device itself...Again Apple sharemarket dropping not because of iOS but the Device itself...How can you ignore such simple information ?

All the corporate companies will start giving windows tablets for its employees. In many cases, it will replace laptops at the enterprise level considering the exponential growth hardware technology is having. There is huge scope for windows tablets. Windows smartphones will continue to struggle thanks to Chinese companies for their high spec affordable price Android smartphones.
