So, who here LURVES Windows Phone? Put your hands up, Brits

Decisions..

A neighbour of ours got one of the new Luminas recently (925 I think) and absolutely loves it. She's your "joe public" type of user, not a geek, but being in her mid-30s technology literate. She's used iOS, a variety of Android phones, and says this is her favourite so far.

After using it myself for a bit, I have to say I do like the Windows 8 mobile OS a lot. It's clean, quick, stylish, and if I wasn't holding out for the iPhone 5S to replace my knackered iPhone 4, then the Lumina would probably be the phone I'd get.

I can't be arsed to spend hours tinkering around with configuration on a phone, I have desktop machines to do that with, and although I own an Android device I've never really found the OS my cup of tea or "fun" to use.

@stu - an app from within the iPhone can make calls..

That moneysavingexpert thead you linked above Stu happens to be from my missus, heh.

Bearing in mind the obvious "don't let your toddler play with phones" mantra - blame her, not me! - I started a more technical thread over on Macrumors (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1573698) as we've found a popular flash card app for toddlers has rolled out an update that includes a cartoon picture that automatically dials premium rate lines. We've caught it quickly and only sacrificed £40, and have got Apple on the case. I emailed El Reg about it just last night.
