I'd strongly recommend sticking with Android.

 

Windows Phone is almost an abandoned side-project at this point. Microsoft haven't been working to improve it much and it lacks a lot of the basic functionality available on other operating systems.

 

Why not look into the Nexus 4? It'd be a logical upgrade from your Galaxy Nexus. :)

I currently using a nokia N9 (that megoo thing)
Is there a point for buying a Nexus 4, there are rumours that google will sell the nexus 5 this year.
And I can still use my samsung, i just can't make any phone calls.

The Nexus 4 is extremely cheap, still competitive performance-wise with the big boys and will remain relevant for quite a long time given the instant-updates Google provide it with.

 

If you absolutely want the latest, most powerful and most awesome stock Android experience phone, you should probably wait for the Nexus 5. But if you're not bothered about that, the Nexus 4 is a very good phone at a very attractive price point. :)

Oh god why. My last phone was a Galaxy Nexus, it's an excellent phone. DEFINITELY go for a Nexus 4 if you're looking for a new phone, it's the next logical step. Windows Phone is a pile of wangs compared to stock android, especially when run on a nexus device. There is nothing known about the next Nexus phone, but the N4 is still extremely good. I wouldn't even hesitate considering how cheap it is now. Honestly WP isn't worth your a second of your time after a Nexus experience.

Indeed.

 

Windows Phone is just a mess. They've not succeeded in breaking into the market, there isn't a great amount of quality applications available for it even now, a lot of basic functionality from the OS is missing, the interface isn't always efficient or intuitive, and Windows Phone is in some ways more locked down than iOS.

 

Unless you're invested into Microsoft services such as Xbox Music there's no benefit to switching to Windows Phone I'm afraid. And it seems there won't be for the foreseeable future, if ever.

Talking about iphone is going off topic. Iphone isnt relevant here.

I have experienced the lumia 920 and i can say that it is silky smooth but just doesnt have a good app variety.
