As someone who has owned an iPhone and an Android phone, please leave me alone with my Nokia Windows phone! It hasn't crashed yet, which is a lot more than I can say about the ****ing Motorola droid phone I had before it, it integrates well with my personal and company emails, I have all the office tools I need, it syncs with my car (and every rental car I've used) and the battery life is good. I even like the main display with the big, square icons (although my Windows 8 PC looks and feels like Windows 7 thanks to Classic Shell).
I agree, about a month ago I destroyed my galaxy and decided to try the Nokia Icon and I have been very impressed. It is a very stable OS and for work applications is it a great fit for what I use it for. I hacked away at droid with tons of tweaks and hacks and had great fun with it, with WP8 I use it for work and don't touch it.
Interestingly launcher 7 for droid was a better windows launcher experience then windows phone itself. WP tiles isn't bad mind you but launcher 7 has tons of options to configure making it fun. If you factor in the whole OS experience including the launcher, WP 8 wins for me.
I like that I can uninstall every Verizon application if I want to, unlike the droid which wouldn't let me.
Windows phone has better navigation and battery control/life imho.
The only issue I don't care for in WP is that the way they currently have their apps sandboxed, it makes it crazy hard to access files directly from the OS. Say you copy your book to a book folder you create, it is impossible to access it. You either have to have a sd card (not an option on the icon) or use one drive. File management via third party on android was very sweet and is very limited on WP. Apparently Microsoft is releasing a file manager for 8.1 that will fix these limitations.
