I always pass up the Microsoft phones.

Why? They've left users behind so many times that I won't go near them. But that's not my primary reason. The primary reason I can't go near the Windows Phone is Microsoft's draconian controls. You may not install apps unless its from Microsoft's Store.

I can't guess why they did that.
