Hello! I'm Considering Switching from Windows Phone

[anon(9057135)]

So, Umm Hi! I have a Nokia Lumia 635 and love Windows Phone, But Android is open source and allows me to customize the f out of my phone, right? I use to use Android on a Tablet but that was for a month. So I was wondering, should I switch? All the Microsoft services I use have apps over here. (MSN, Xbox Music, Etc.) I also have a Chromecast and use Google Services (But not Google as a search engine)

Welcome.
Sounds like you will not have any problems switching at all.
The M9 is nice. You should go for it.

Welcome to the forums. The M9 is a nice device. But, let's take another direction here: Tell us the 5 things in a phone that are very important to you, and 5 things that you don't care about. For example, let's say you want a good screen but don't care about taking photos.

Believe it or not, this will help us suggest other device that might be of interest to you.

Matter:
1. Feel
2. Look
3. Specs
4. Screen
5. Battery

----
Don't Matter:
1. Camera (Does need to be above 8 though)
2. Front Camera
3. FM Radio
4. NFC
5. Motion Data (Walk Recording Thingy)

Which Android tablet did you have? How long ago was that? Which version of Android was your tablet running? How did you like your tablet? Would you want a phone from the same OEM as your tablet?

HTC makes the Nexus 9, but it runs stock Android, not Sense. HTC hasn't made any tablets other than the Nexus 9 in quite a while.

Hello Travis and welcome!☺ Do you actually have to switch? Use the two together. I use and enjoy both systems.

I had a Android Tablet in the beginning of 2014, I can't remember what it was called exactly, but I know it was made by Samsung.

Tbh, Yes. Because WP has limits being Closed Source. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved WP you Can ask Laura, I developed apps for WP and bought 150$+ worth of apps and games. If Windows 10 is more customizable, I'll happily jump back

The 635 will get Windows 10. How about keeping it as a spare?

Do you like any Samsung phones?

Tbh, I absolutely hate TouchWiz. I guess I'll keep it as a spare.

Welcome aboard, if you are looking at an M9 and if you are on a GSM carrier, see if there is a Developer Edition available, better option if you are a US user.

Hello and welcome to the forums at Android Central!

The M9 is a very capable device.

Thank you all! I got my M9 Today and I absolutely love it!! Thank you all

Sweet! I think the battery technology in the M9 is the same as the M8 (Li-Polymer), and my M8 took 6 days for it to get in the swing of things. Just a heads up if your battery is still a concern on Friday.
