Yes, but - Android is a nice OS, WP is not. The few poor souls that say they like it, say that on pure spite or some brainless stubbornness or whatever.

I purchase maybe 4-5 phones a year. I give some away after a while and some I keep. The Lumia 800 initially feels good, but then after a while, the limitations simply bites you whenever you touch it. It is not only me or any other geek, the limitations bites ordinary people. Simple things like sending attachments with email or using custom ringtones is not available. WP is two years old already, there is no excuse for these limitations. I can't give away my Lumia, because I'm not that bad a person. I know whoever gets it will end up being angry with me.

However, WP has great potential because the basic user experience is nice. Maybe WP8 will change for the better ? For Nokia's sake I hope so.

If Android didn't exist, WP would do fine against iOS. If iOS didn't exist, WP would do somewhat fine as an alternative to Android. Right now it ends up being nothing worth having.
