I know there are millions that buy Apple products under false info and ignore other choices, but let's try to be objective.

Let's look at ios6 or 7 and wp8. Which to you is better and why.

 

From what I look at, apples ios is static, and it's ecosystem is limited to Apple products. Windows p8 allows an ecosystem that stretches out further and although not as open as android to be more secure, wp8 is not static and allows numerous customization options while still being secure and fast.

 

On Apple's side, the integrated icloud allows 5gba free of chlarge in cloud storage. Another addition is iTunes match. Allowing icloud. To look at your pc/Mac music library, and allow them to download music free without repaying on iTunes store.

 

So which do u choose and what's your reason it has an advantage?

I've used all of them and sticking to Windows Phone as a final verdict. I'm not a great users of Apps but the way WP manages contacts, emails, calendar and menu system is just better imo than Android and iOS. Also, the OS is the most pretty and fluid of them all, also very stable and doesn't slow even after a year of use.

I just started using WP8 and I love it so far. I always thought the idea of having start screen tiles was ridiculous on a laptop/desktop but I think it's perfect on a touch screen device.

I also just started using Skydrive, I don't know if that's Microsoft's answer to Apple's icloud.

I can't say too much about Apple. I've never really been interested in buying their products.

How exactly is Windows Phone 8, so much more customizable than Iphone? Repositioning squares isn't revolutionary, atleast with iOS you can set custom backgrounds, and if you Jailbreak you get a ton of customization if that's what you like.

"Limited Appstore" Well having an open one isn't working for Microsoft since it's barely filling, iOS is open to Iphones&Ipads which is enough since they're the best selling devices around they attract the largest markets, and more developers.

iOS may only be limited to Apple Devices, but given the way WP8 has been going nobody is developing on it anymore except Nokia and Microsoft has been paying them for years to do it.

WP8 here. I have used Hotmail and SkyDrive for years. Particularly i have larger SkyDrive for free because i am an old user. So, moving toward WP8 takes almost zero setup. And of course, I can choose a bigger screen and it works with gloves too. There are a lot more hardware options to choose from. magicalclick
Yeah.....there's that Nokia Phone, or.....that other Nokia Phone. Samsung, and HTC, have all but dropped out and nobody wants to be buying a last year device not to mention one that didn't sell well. Nokia is really, the only big player left.

Apart from changing the colours, show me two identical home screens of 2 phones http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8340/8221950647_c8049d4e4b_z.jpg.   When you look at an iPhone it's always the same 5x4 icon grid.  Jailbreak you can't include in your argument because it's not stock.

"Limited Appstore" Well having an open one isn't working for Microsoft since it's barely filling, iOS is open to Iphones&Ipads which is enough since they're the best selling devices around they attract the largest markets, and more developers.

140,000 apps and counting in 2 years.  iPhone took much longer to get that many apps.

iOS may only be limited to Apple Devices, but given the way WP8 has been going nobody is developing on it anymore except Nokia and Microsoft has been paying them for years to do it.

Wrong again.  Windows Phone outsells Android and Apple in some countries.  http://www.zdnet.com/windows-phone-outselling-ios-ultrabooks-on-the-rise-estonia-does-hardware-differently-7000016945/

And there's also this:  http://www.information-age.com/technology/mobile-and-networking/2106893/windows-phone-will-overtake-ios-by-2016-idc-predicts  I think not overtake but be on the same playing field.  And fyi Samsung and HTC are still doing Windows Phone, so stop talking nonsense.
