My wife broke down and ditched her old android phone for a 920. I let her
use a 900 we had laying around the office for a few days. The first time
she used it in the car she said "wow, that is how my phone should work while
I'm in the car. Not just mapping or voice, but things like font choices and
spacing for readability when you have it mounted on your dash.
She liked the 920 so much she overlooked the missing starbucks app!
also, check out this drop test video:

I can tell you that from my POV the People Hub (instead of Contacts) is a
much nicer way to interact with people. I show my friends with Android or
iOS phones how you can post to someone's Facebook wall, post to Twitter
regarding them, IM them, text them, call any number of phones that they
might have and more all from one spot and they start drooling all over
themselves. The built in family room and other rooms is awesome for anyone
with kids. Yes, I know that you can setup shared calendars and such in
Google and then access them from your phone, but the way that Windows
Phone
has it built in and configured makes it SO much nicer and easier to use.
Accessing apps is much easier with Windows Phone and the intelligence
behind
typing on the Windows Phone keyboard is truly amazing. The WP intelligent
typing does not just suggest spelling corrections like Google or Apple
phones do, it actually looks at WHAT you are typing and suggests the next
work based on the entire sentence and thoughts being typed. I have sent
messages where I only had to type the first letter and then tap the words
in
the "auto-correct" line. After using that feature going back to my Android
phone that I use for work is very much like picking up a chisel and piece
of
slate. Try it, you will be amazed, and it improves with use as it gets to
know you. The speech typing is far superior to Android's also in my
experience. There is a lot more to it, but those are a few of the biggies.
Regards,
Tim

I'm curious: What's liberating?
I don't have a Windows phone to play with, so I can't reference. I am
still
using an old iPhone 3GS (which does me just fine) and I have an HP
Touchpad
with Cyanogoenmod 8 on it, so I have experience with iOS 6 and ICS.
What makes the Windows Phone 8 so much better?
