I think this is why I've been so hesitant to switch back to an Android or iPhone now that I have a Windows Phone (Lumia 635). The UI is well designed and super slick, the browser is crap but works enough to check most things, the selection of apps is crap but the main ones I need are on there, albeit are inferior versions (Kindle, FB, Amazon, Meetup, Podcasts), the alarms will make noise even if the phone is on vibrate (iOS and Android seem incapable of that), and I really love the Live Tiles and it's awesome for texting. Also I got the phone for $30 so I'm nowhere near as paranoid of bad things happening to it like when I paid $450 for my Nexus 5. And yet it seems sturdier. It's also waaaaay better and has lasted longer as a mid-range phone than the mid-range Android phone I bought a few years ago. That thing was super slow and buggy and a terrible battery life after six months, and just kept getting worse. My Lumia phone still acts just as smooth as it did on Day 1 and the battery still lasts over a day per charge. But I don't waste time trying out a bunch of apps, and I don't get endless notifications, so I'm not constantly distracted by my phone.
