I never had the Microsoft one because those are still new, but I only use the ones that came out before the name change back when they were the Nokia Lumias. The first one I bought I paid $50 for and it was voted best smartphone of 2013. I had that for more than a year and it was amazing. Eventually something happened to the power button chip, the piece of the power button that presses into the slot to turn the phone on and off, so even though there's was nothing wrong with the phone, I had no way of using it unless I kept it plugged in all the time. So I paid another $50 and upgraded to a newer model and I had this one for more than 16 months so far and it's still amazing. The best feature of the phone for me is Microsoft Office, since its a Microsoft phone it comes with many Microsoft features installed.
Take this reply for instance, or my review I posted like 20 minutes ago, they were both written on the Microsoft word app of the phone, so if you type a lot, just the word app on the phone will make the phone so worth it. And like the memes imply, the phones are very very strong, like the Nokias of back in the day. I actually got to the point where if my phone is acting up, I can bang it on something hard to see if it helps, and the bang literally causes no damage to the phone. I dropped it and had the battery fly out many times and had the phone full of rain dozens of times and nothing bad has happened.
Sure the apps suck because 90 Percent of all apps are IOS/Android only, but you can get a few good ones here and there, and beyond that there's so many other good things about the phone. I know David had one too, and he loved it.
I know you are a super playstation 2 fan already, so the massive XBOX component wouldn't interest you, but the phones are also synced to XBOX, so you can play dozens of Xbox mobile games as well as use your profile. There's just so many good things. Seriously, if you win ill buy it off of you for a ton of
Viz. Lol.
