I'm not happy with my iphone anymore and I'm curious if anyone has the Icon. I've never had a Droid or windows 8 phone so I don't really what other phones are like.

anyway this phone looks like it's gotten good reviews and looks like a good phone. I'm worried about there not being as many apps and the fact that windows 8 is still pretty new to the smartphone game. The OS and the apps are the biggest concern for me.

Posting from w8 phone now, I love it and I'm dying for my contract to be up so I can get an icon!!!!

not gonna lie though, there are some app gaps (if you need any proof, notice that advertiser still don't list w8 mobile like they do ios and android)

I think the app amount is overblown though. All the main apps are there and just because there's not 50000 free fart apps is not necessarily a bad thing.

W8 is an awesome and VERY stable mobile system. If you get a Nokia (like the icon) their cameras are just awesome at taking pics (my colleagues have made comments to such several times as compared with their ios and androids) and Nokia has some sweet free apps!

whatever you do avoid the HTC 8x though major problems with them.

Next w8 update do out this late spring early summer is going to really going to do good things it sounds like.
