I’ve been a fan of the Android OS since I got my HTC Wildfire over a year ago. And to be honest, all the other operating systems didn’t really get to me. I already owned an iPod Touch with iOS 5. I love it, there’s no need for an iPhone in my opinion. And then there’s Windows Phone. Which I always thought was all of the phones we’re too expensive for what they are. Yes, iPhone’s are plus £500 nowadays. But we’re use to that anyway. I decided to sell my HTC Wildfire for £60, as the phone was becoming really sluggish and hard to use now. So I just thought that all I need to do is upgrade to a new Android device. Which was going to be the Samsung Galaxy Ace.
Now, James, our Administrator already has this device, and it seems to work great, but It was hard not to join the WP7 bandwagon, as everyone seemed to like it and be in on it. Then recently, I saw Nokia’s latest WP7 handset, the Lumia 710, and also on my preferred network, Vodafone. Which I have been using since my HTC Wildfire. The phone was an amazing £150, on PAYG. Which just seemed too good to be true! And this one had a 1.4GHz processor, 8GB Memory, 3.7″ screen, and of course, Windows Phone 7.5 Mango OS. So I went into Vodafone and decided to pick one of these up.
I love it, I so much prefer this device over any Android device I’ve owned/seen. Even my uncle’s new Samsung Galaxy SII. And this phone is just a joy t0 use. And that is how and why I decided to switch to Windows Phone 7.
