Having used multiple Android phones (g1, g2, Moto Cliq, Galaxy s2) and then having switched to windows (Lumia 710 and HTC Radar). my next phone purchase will be a windows 8 phone (likely the 8x). I work for a telecommunications company so I get the pleasure to use a wide variety of phones. I prefer windows because I'm a fan of minimalism design, a phone that just 'works', and being able to accomplish my tasks quickly. I feel Windows offers that over Android. I've only used an Iphone 3gs for a couple weeks and wasn't too impressed so I can't make a comment on IOS.

I hope Microsoft gets their act together and continues pushing forward with WP8. They need to stabilize their app eco-system and get developers on board because they have the best UI in town and combine many of the best features of iOS and Android (more flexible than iOS, less buggy and "themed" than Android, and hopefully a better update cycle than Android).

It seems that the only way that will happen is if their marketshare increases so that developers see it as a viable option.   There are certain apps that I really miss from Android (mostly Stumbleupon)  that I don't see coming to Windows unless it takes off.
