Bono, I bet you 10 that you'll have a different phone in three months time and you'll be singing the praises of that too

I have found my ideal phone & OS now much better than anything I ever used. I don't miss Android at all. And this year now I can't afford to cos I am gonna be doing other stuff

The processor didn't even matter when I bought my T610 all those years ago - the colour screen and built in camera was amazing back then.
Look at what our phones can do today - all because of the immense processing power under the hood! Ultimately, we will always be demanding quicker, faster and more efficient devices that can do more tasks effortlessly. If multi core is the way forward then so be it.
I'm certainly not complaining.
+1 Completely agree.

Im also satified with 2011 Xperia models performance, especialy the Xperia Arc S, BUT i can understand why reviewers slated them due to no dual-core and thats because their competition; mainly Samsung and Apple smartphones, both had devices running on dual-core with more features, HD1080P video, even better performance and competetively priced for what they brought.

That's a bet you"re certain to win 
On a more serious note, the only way WP is going to get traction is to have strong, rich and rapidly growing number of apps. The more fluid UI isn't going to cut it unless there are (many) apps that users can actually take advantage of.
re:Android performance, I"m waiting to see how it evolves through this year, I still don't think though that quadcore ARM cpus are the way to solve any lag issues. |

There is loads of excellent apps for Windows. Many useful ones and many which you cannot get anywhere else.

Yep spare phone  I take back the Android words Well,HTC is the only one I miss on Android it's still the most feature packed. It now has Sense 3.0 & GB as it started out with Froyo. The phone was over 400 on release now is 250 sim free at Carphone stores

Both about the same the Lumia is smoother but HTC seems slightly faster especially for browsing.

Yet interestingly enough, the Incredible S uses the same CPU as Lumia800, but its underclocked to 1GHz.
