Here's a review I just read http://www.forbes.com/sites/ciocentral/2012/11/10/apple-google-and-microsoft-mobile-strategy-or-why-i-like-my-windows-phone-8/

Here's an older one http://www.businessinsider.com/an-apple-fanboy-loves-his-nokia-lumia-so-much-that-he-sent-a-letter-to-microsoft-2012-5?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

One more point..sales people frequently tout the number of apps in the app store. WP8 had more apps at launch than the iPhone or Android. But, IMO, the number of apps is meaningless. See http://www.tuaw.com/2012/08/06/app-store-growing-populated-with-never-downloaded-zombie-apps/ and http://www.localytics.com/blog/2011/first-impressions-matter-26-percent-of-apps-downloaded-used-just-once/ for why I think this.

>That's not what happened at a Best Buy. My wife ended up with a S3 yesterday. Before the sales rep showed up she looked at the iPhone, Windows, and the S3. The sales rep dismissed the windows phone immediately. And when she discovered the iPhone battery had be replaced by Apple - she dismissed the Apple. When my wife buys anything techie I stay out of it completely - so I said nothing during the entire hour it took to buy the phone.
