The camera is without a doubt, the most important part of my phone. I use it at least a dozen times a day. I'd absolutely pay $300 for a phone with a good enough camera. Unfortunately, I'm not going to do that AND switch to Windows Phone. But given an Android or iOS device with this exact hardware? I'd 100% grab one of these.

Without sounding like a fan boy, I would actually recommend you to go give WP a try. I am not going to say it's better than iOS for lacking quality apps but it's way better than my Nexus 4. Android to me is the poorest OS amidst the 3.

I've actually given it a shot. It's a fine OS, no debate there, but the app market is key for me.

As someone who takes a lot of photos with my phone, this interests me a lot. Though as someone who has previously used Windows Phone, I'm very skeptical about going back to it. This is the first device that makes me wonder about Nokia's WP-exclusive decision. They didn't go with Android to avoid becoming "yet another" Android manufacturer, and I agree with that sentiment (look at how few are turning a profit). Howeve…

What's the problem with Windows Phone?

I've had my Nokia 928 for about 6 weeks now. Like poster 300bps above, my previous 3 phones were all iPhones (we're like .. phone twins or something)

Overall, I like both the device and the OS. So far any nits I have are minor -- Only one volume setting for all the apps, touch screen is overly sensitive, polymer case is too slippery.

So far, the WP app store has had the applications I care most about. And since you can write apps in C#, it's more approachable to write for.

The camera is definitely the most used app on my phone. I would say it's the same for about 50-70% of my friends.

I find that hard to believe. Nearly everyone I see using a phone is txting.

I don't text nearly as much as I used to. Most of my friends communicate using either Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Vine, and our recent, biggest replacement for texting, Snapchat.

You know you can change the touch screen sensitivity?

Ask Valve...

Why, they're going to release their next Half Life as a Linux exclusive? Or even any lesser franchises?

They've released a good bit on linux thus far as a hedge against the demise of windows as a gaming platform. Go do your own reading on the topic.

We were talking about exclusives, not hedges.

You asked the question: "Only, what would a game company care about Linux adoption?" Regardless of the content of your parent's context, you were specifically asking about why a game company cares about Linux. I provide information, you say it's irrelevant unless they're developing solely for Linux. How silly.

Let's just say that everyone is entitled to have a different opinion about what is sillier, ignoring the context of a question or deeming irrelevant an answer that is out of that context. Cheers!
