For me Windows Phone 8 is far better than Android. Slick and easy to use. Just needs more apps and more features within apps. For example you can't even select all text in a word document and copy it to another app. I've had a Lumia 625 for over a year and normally get 3 to 4 days use out of a full battery. I even had 6 days once after light use. The key is to keep bluetooth and GPS off until you need them. Wi-fi also eats battery when you are a long distance from an access point or not connected so keep it off until needed.

BlackBerry: We ARE cutting jobs AGAIN

Blackberry's own Windows 8
I expected to see this given Blackberry’s inadequate recent products. I’ve had a company Blackberry for more than 10 years. The older models were great with a slick and intuitive user interface. When Blackberry withdrew support for their older BES I had to get a new model based on the Blackberry 10. Horrible thing. The slick user interface has gone out the window, replaced by an inconsistent and messy mix of every gesture, press-and-hold, swipe and touch under the sun. On top of this many of the shortcuts which made the older Blackberry such a pleasure to use have gone. Blackberry have produced their “Windows 8” product and seemingly deliberately alienated their loyal past users. It needs to be fixed but they will probably run out of money and customers first.
