I've been off all microsoft products for a long time, but I think I might be willing to give their phone a try. I'm not completely sold on android or apple at the moment, and Msoft's design does seem to be taking the lead (flat ui), and presenting a different option . Plus, before the android/ios wars, I always thought Nokia made the most brilliant phones, and i'm kinda glad to see them back in the game.

I absolutely love the Windows Phone and think it's very underrated. I would use one all the time but our company phones are only iPhone or Android =(

I've had a Windows Phone (Lumia 920) for a few months now and probably would never go back. Sure, some apps are missing from the ecosystem, but I rarely use apps so maybe that's just me. The integration, slick performance, and interface really are streets ahead of Android in my opinion and I was a daily android flasher for over 2 years. If apps are your thing though, make sure enough of them are there to keep you happy.

If you want a phone that syncs your data to the cloud without your permission, WP is perfect. Android's also very good at this, but if you have lots of time and some skills you can root it and probably fix the issue.

  No it's not. I have a Lumia 920 and none of my data is synced to SkyDrive.

    I see. Are you absolutely sure? Did you do anything special? The only hack that I know is setting the server to 127.0.0.1 in the people hub so that it doesn't sync. I have seen multiple official statements from MS that this is not supported and the syncing is mandatory. Could you provide a link or guide on how to disable sync'ing in MS Office and for the contacts? Thanks.
