Windows Phone: I'm not an "anti-fan"

For the last year I've had a love/hate affair with Windows Phone.
Those of you who have read my blog will know that I used to despise Android because of its laggy interface and requirement to constantly upgrade to the newer handsets regularly. You will also be aware that I felt that Windows Phone was a work in progress and that it's never worked particularly well.

I've had some heated arguments with Windows fanboys who still feel that it's the best phone operating system, and if it works for you in this day and age, then that's ok. I just wish that Microsoft actually cared about their mobile end of their business.
As things stand right now, Windows Phone is already pretty dead. Obtaining a Windows Phone in the UK is becoming increasingly difficult.
Only one year ago, you could pick up a perfectly decent Windows Phone for less than £60 that would run more smoothly than any Android handset costing less than £150, but the love for these phones seems to have vanished.

O2 are currently selling used Lumia 550s for £40 - which is a bargain in my opinion, yet a deal was posted on HotUKDeals for this phone and all it received was negative comments.

It's a shame, because Windows Phone had so much potential, but the support has dried up.
This leaves us with Android and iOS, which isn't much of a choice.
