The one main gripe I have is that you used to be able to start typing someone's name on the onscreen keyboard in WM6, and it would search both by number and contact name. That (still) doesn't work. I think a lot of basic functionality is there now - maybe more so with the Lumias than the other brands, as Nokia seemed to have invested fairly heavily. I like having a mapping app that can tell me if I'm speeding - iPhone doesn't have that inbuilt :) That said, whilst Microsoft's been backfilling the missing basic functionality, Android and IOS haven't been standing still.

Are you able to do something as simple as backup/export your SMS messages with Windows Phone yet (something MS were promising since the Mango announcement by which point I had bought a Galaxy and haven't had any reason to look back)? Is it worth a grumpy cat like myself giving the Lumia-era phones a try or am I just going to be left even more jaded and cynical?
