They both suck. I wish my phone was like a PC and I could install whatever OS I wanted.
Now we live in a day where if you deviate from the manufactures installed OS you get no hardware or warranty support.
Imagine Dell refusing warranty if you installed Linux on a server.
I lean slightly to Android, but an not happy with Google's bullshit tricks with their phones, not the bloat and bullshit on a Samsung phone.
I'll be looking for an alternative soon... But there isn't much it there if you want an affordable near flagship.
I know Microsoft isn't a very good alternative as a company, but I do wish Windows Phone had taken off better.
At least it would have been some competition to the Duopoly we now have.
Like the other person said... Had a warranty issue with a Samsung a few years ago that kept it out of my hands for a couple of months, bought a cheap and nasty $50 phone that was part of a prepaid package here in Australia, just happened to be a Nokia windows phone. It was about the lowest end model you could get....
And I too was kinda stunned how much I liked it. I went into the experience with a fairly negative attitude thinking I'd suffer though it until my regular phone was repaired.
Yet came out looking it more than I'd like to admit.
So... Yeah... Would have been great for windows mobile to stick around.
