What phone to go for iPhone 4s , Android , Windows Phone or BlackBerry

Having used all 3 OS in last few weeks - Windows Phone 7 beats the rest by a long shot - simple, intuitive and vastly superior.

Interestingly, Apple fans use exactly the same words. The one they like most is 'intuitive'.

I haven't used the windows phone,but having used ios for a few weeks now, once you get over the initial novelty , its clear nothing has changed.

It still has those annoying pop ups that interrupt whatever your doing. Particularly when you've got no signal. or your battery is running out.

If a message fails you have to manually resend it.

What was the point in making a notifications centre if your still going to interrupt people with pop ups.

Are you sure? You can switch all those off under settings/notifications then select each application. You should then see 'Alert Style' and switch them all to either None or Banner (my preference). When I get an email/notification it just briefly appears at the top of the screen (or on the lock screen) and that's it...

I reckon if Steve Jobs was in better health over the last year 4S would be more than it is, the 3GS was a stop gap for the rest of the world whom had faster mobile networks than the USA who were just setting up 3G whilst the rest of the world were years ahead in 3G+

I wont use anything but WP7 for the next year at least, well no, sorry, make that WP7 and WP8

Not the 1.2, then 1.3 and the 3.0, 3.4, 4.0 of Apple and Android.

7, 7.5 and 8 - more stable & less often - DAM right !!

Just think if google and Picasa crashed what would you do then?
Why not have them on a Hard drive or on a memory card? then you could just transfer them to your nice shiney new Windows 7.5 Nokia with no hassle:)
