I've been using the Nokia Lumia 920 for the past year now and I can tell you, other than the lack of apps currently for the platform I love windows phone. I see it just growing in the future as the ecosystem develops.

what's everyone's thoughts about it? Do you have a windows phone? Which phone do you have? What's your experience with the os?

It's Windows Phone, it has the "Metro UI" like in Windows 8. I don't have one but I would get one if it's good. I currently have a BlackBerry 9320.

I have had the Lumia 920 for about 10 months now, and since I have no interest in apps it's a really good phone. And the developement from wp 8 to what it is now is huge and the next update is promised to fix almost everything wrong with the os in terms of basic functionality

I'm a mobile phone tester and IT for my company, so I'm working with almost every mobile OS every day.  I own an android phone, but I do like the Windows phone simple approach.  I like the fact that their lowest end models with cheapo single and dual core CPUs can run the OS more smoothly than any other phone with their modern day hardware and GUIs.

I want to upgrade to a 1020 from my HTC incredible but it is only available under contract at AT&T :( .

I have a HTC 8S and I am enjoying it because it is very smooth and very easy to use. Great that popular apps are slowing coming to Windows Phone. :)
