I've been toying with the Idea of changing my phone the last couple of months.
I currently have a Iphone and to be honest I'm bored of it, I love the OS interface and all the apps but I've been looking at alternatives such as the windows 8 phone Nokia Lumia 920/925
I've got an Ipad so not fussed about loosing complete access to the appstore ;P

Anybody currently running a windows phone? how do you find using it?

and no I don't want an Android before anybody suggests it (y)
 
My wife has a windows mobile lumia 925 it's a brilliant phone but lacks apps also if you are running an older version of windows on your home pc you can't even access your pictures
 
Really depends on what you want it to do? Apps leaves little choice apart from Apple or Google based phones. I am not keen on the Iphone but love my Ipad mini. The Windows phone does look good but then so does the new Blackberry. Personally the Samsung Note looks the best all rounder but you don't want Android. So go for the Windows one, they will improve apps and connection as they go, not sure how well they work with other things though as my Windows PC is a pain in the butt but what choice do we have?
 
@Eklipze3k I used to have one and it was worse than having trenchfoot!

apps I'm not too fused as I have an ipad for that :) all I use my iphone for is to take a few pictures when the moment arises and to send a text to the odd friend haha!
and besides the lumia comes in yellow ;)

I really like the integration with the xbox too on the windows phones

The windows phone is the one you want then as it has a real good camera (some of the night shots are way better than other phones and as you said it comes in yellow ;)
 
I love my windows phone, it interacts with my windows 8 laptop and the interface is more or less the same.
Agreed the apps are the main issue with most people, but if your not into games and kids stuff then there are some good ones available.
The whole thing is fully user friendly and a toddle to get your head around.
There are a couple of things that in the next phone update that are going to be sorted and that is customising the message alert tone and a few other interface issues need sorting.
Over all though its a fairly new operating system so there's going to be some issues.

well I've just this very minute bought a Lumia 920 .... In yellow :D shame they don't do orange to match my car haha.

I do like the Iphone and I'm not getting rid because I don't like it. I will quiet happily have another one but I just needed a change from the IOS after 4 years with it :) maybe i will return once apple actually introduce something 'new' and interesting haha.

I will miss Siri though. shes amazing for navigation </3
