If u never tried any OS, and WP was ur first.. u wud like it. My guess is, u're so used to iOS and android's UI, u tried WP and immediately went "wth is this UI, tiles? no folders? no icons? so plain Black background, cannot custom ringtones etc.." (like what my wifey said)  sweat.gif

I have all three OSes on 3 diff devices, and each has its own pros/cons. WP probably in short, uses basic specs (512mb) ram yet performance still smooth. (e.g. pls tell me how well does Asphalt 8 runs with 512mb on android)
iPhone 5S.. well, apps galore.  thumbup.gif  Note 3, big screen.. playstore? well, be careful of viruses/malware etc.  sweat.gif

But yeah, I do get that 'boring/confused' expression when frens come n play my lumia 1020..  tongue.gif

well if u leaving your L1020 without updated to developer preview 8.1 i would say u didnt seehow much progress tha wp os made....with 8.1 now u got custom background on tiles (one big background picture with transparent tiles on it)

custom ringtones...yeap i read it right...use any ringtone u want,short or long customizeable..

folder access...even apps can be separated into folders...

notification drop down menu....with customizeable notifcation mode on each apps....

definately wp is catching up...but yess i do agree there is lacking apps especially who got too many free time playing mainstream fb games such candy crush etc etc....
