I switched from an Andriod but this was a few years back when it was still on Gingerbird with a noticeable lag. Android may have fixed most of its issues by now but at that time Windows phone OS felt butter smooth and so minimal I could teach my Grandparents to use it. It also crashed less compared to my previous phone and API was so tightly restricted that third party apps din't even access to your messages/contacts, almost providing an unintended privacy net. Offline radio, fully downloadable offline maps, group chats, better email integration and excellent camera were a big plus. I would recommend going down to your cellular provider's shop and trying out one. Nokia phones would be a be my choice of recommendation. If you just want to run with something, you could even try Nokia Lumia 520/521, its only ~$50 full price and no contract {1]. Atleast it will make a great backup phone for its specs.
