I had one of the later (probably last) Windows Phones from Nokia, and I think they corrected a lot of these gripes by the end. Notifications were relatively okay from what I remember, and WhatsApp worked perfectly fine for IM. Never bothered with games, but I understand the app development landscape was quite awful with it. Still, an absolutely stunning phone with the best screen I have ever used, and easily the best camera I have ever used. Of course, I dropped my budget significantly after that one broke, but it was truly magnificent.
