Why would anyone choose a more expensive Sony Windows Phone over a cheaper Xperia Android Phone? That's a dead end, don't understand why they even bother.

How do you know the Windows Phone is going to be more expensive?

Sony already has to pay Microsoft royalties for using Android, then Sony needs workers to tweak the interface and the OS and all that other stuff to run Android on it's Phones, Windows Phone basically comes in a box ready to be applied.

In-fact Microsoft earn's about 2 billion bucks a year off Android, it's actually more profitable than Windows Phone is.

As for Windows Phone itself it's a slick and responsive OS, the interface just works on a phone, the market could do with a major 3rd OS to compete against the likes of iOS and Android to help push innovation, Windows Phone is slowly getting there.
