Hello!

I was a previous iPhone 3GS user who decided to try out a Window phone after my contract ended. For one reason or another I felt like I was done with the whole IOS system and wanted to try something new, hence my purchase of the Lumia 1520 windows phone. But after several months I discovered that I did miss IOS and have commandeered my wife's old iPhone 5. I couldn't be happier.

Thanks everyone, I guess I just needed to see that the grass isnt necessarily greener on the other side.

I know how you feel. I was a 4 generation iPhone users since the very first one, and switched to Windows Phone when the Nokia Lumia 920 and WP8 came out. I've since upgraded twice on WP and now have the 1520 and still love it as my daily driver. I do still have a love for Apple's products though! My girlfriend just got me a brand new iPad Air 2 for Christmas... Nothing wrong with having both sides of the fence!

Oh it's green, it is just that sometimes the grass in other peoples yards needs cut more than what grows in your own yard ;-).

Some people just find they prefer cutting their old yard for whatever reason.

The grass is green all around me. I literally keep my foot in almost all Mobile OS's.

It's fun to change things up all the time.

I really did love my Lumia 1520: it had an amazing camera and the display was awesome. But in the end it was all down to the operating system: Windows didn't seem mature enough and I have doubts it ever really will.

It's getting better. I'm rooting for them.

I really can't wait to get the preview of Windows 10 for my 635! I really want to see where they're headed with this OS.

Right now I'm thinking about getting back to using my 5c and getting a Lumia 640 to replace my 635.

Been there, done that. WP wouldn't be quite so bad if they could get a few more quality apps in their store. Maybe more than a few. In fact, maybe many, many more quality apps in their store.

Been about a couple months since I switched back and I can say that it was well worth the effort. The only thing I had trouble with was with texting and emailing using SwiftKey; it's just not the same as Wordflow on the 1520. Wordflow seemed to be better at predicting words and choosing the correct word even when my swipes were sloppy. I know IOS just opened up itself to 3rd party apps and would probably get better. Although it's probably cause my fingers are too big to swipe properly on my much smaller iPhone...
