And why in the hell in the prime of Android would you want a windows
phone?
How about a more elegant GUI then Android, and an easier to use OS
that works perfectly with the desktop I make my living with. Or the
42 megapixel camera on my Nokia 1020 that makes it the best snapshot

constantly being reported, and it has become the magnet for phone malware.
Might as well suggest an iPhone!
