If Sony and Windows Phone had a Facebook relationship status it would definitely be "It's Complicated." It's no secret that Sony - in its previous incarnation as Sony Ericsson - flirted with the idea of bringing a Windows Phone device to market to the point of investing in making prototypes. If you are an avid Windows Phone fan you would have seen the Sony-Ericsson proto-type that did the rounds prior the Windows Phone 7.5 update called the "Jolie". It seemed like the PlayStation company seriously contemplated on releasing a Windows Phone 7.5 device before bailing out at the last minute.

 

The xperia x1 and x2 were both windows?

They don't really count, as certainly the X1 wasn't made my Sony (let alone Sony Ericsson) it was made by HTC

They have completely changed their phone business since then, firstly moving only to Android phones and secondly they are now Sony

Personally, as owner of first the X10 and now the XPERIA S, I love the way that the phones look and feel, but I also like the way that Windows 8s look. My concern about Win 8 is not the app store, since I basically don't use any on my phone, but simple things like the calendar and email. I use google for all these things, so as pretty as Win 8 looks, it just isn't as good, unless google release their own applications for it

But in reality, a stronger Windows Phone 8 means more competition for Android and iOS, which is probably good for everyone
