What would it take for you to ditch your Gnex?

I like their menu system, I like the tiles, overall a phone I thought I'd hate gained a lot of respect. They aren't quite there yet, but they are pretty close. This wasn't even a flagship phone, either.

I think when Windows 8 and the matching Windows Phone 8 (or 7 update, not sure how they're doing it) comes out, they will be a force to be reckoned with, with a seamless Desktop to mobile OS to tablet experience. So while I love my Nexus and none of the other choices would even tempt me a bit (except the updated Nexus, of course), I have to admit I'd be tempted by a top of the line Windows Phone with LTE, build quality of Nokia, and the (judging by reviews) fantastic camera they put in their top of the line phones. Bring on the flames I guess haha.

No flames coming from me. I've used BB, Android, and iOS, but not Windows Phone.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at all interested in checking it out. If VZW ever got a top shelf Nokia with 4G, I'd definitely consider it. I really like the way it looks. And seems very seamless and easy to use. I agree with each and every point you made. I'm also one of those people that needs a good camera in my phone. I don't want to carry an extra camera when I can use my phone. I don't need a murse. Which is part of the reason why I'm using a 4S now, for the camera. And I've heard those cameras in the top of the line Nokia phones are ridiculous.

I too am really glad I got a "no issues" GN. What is disconcerting though is that Samsungs quality control is not up to par. If they can let all these 'subpar' phones slip by, does not speak well of the company.

The only problem with that is you better not be on Verizon because it seems like Verizon has NO INTEREST in Windows phone (the only phone is the Trophy which came 8 months after release) and it doesn't look like they're going to be getting any of the new WP7 phones. I think they're heavily committed to Android and only took on the iPhone to stem defections. They even have more Blackberries and as many Palm Pre2s as WP7. It's hard to see WP7 getting any traction when they're not on Verizon (#1) or Sprint (#3). Sprint has just made a MAJOR commitment to iPhone so it doesn't seem too interested in WP7 either.

Hands up ,,there isnt another phone out on vzw's network that would cause me to get rid of my GN.
