Windows Phone 8! I really like the OS to be honest. There’s a steep learning curve, but once you get it, navigating and finding the things you need is easy.

Definitely a Windows Phone. Blackberry is so early 2000′s

Windows Phone 8. They mentioned how nicely it integrates with Windows 8 and I’d like to see and test that.

I’d go for Windows Phone 8. I would like to see how it plays together with Windows 8 on the Desktop, although I won’t have touch stuff for a long time… Although when you kinda ignore the tiled UI, it’s a bumped up Windows 7 ;D

Windows phone just because it’s more up to date than Blackberry.

Windows Phone

Apps will grow for WP while BB is fading away

I would definitely go for Windows Phone, I like the UI and i’d like to give a chance to this mobile OS… but i would keep my Android Nexus S, i love bugdroid

I haven’t seen a Windows 8 phone, but I like Windows 8 itself, so I’d choose the W8 Phone.

I would have to go with the windows phone. I used to think blackberry was amazing. Until I got my first Android. It changed everything. I have a bb for work and prefer to use it as a hockey puck.

Definitely windows phone. I mean I can see how Windows is linking desktop Os to mobile Os for seamless integration. That’s what make my choice to choose windows Phone over bb.

I’d choose Windows
just seems like it would do more than BB

Blackberry! I always loved putting themes on my phone and enjoyed the simplicity of BBM and the instant wonderful emails. Also loved my (bleeeepp) noise when I got a text with my different color light indicator.

I would HAVE to say Windows, I used the first Titan for a few days, if it had been a bit FASTER I would have been perfectly happy, BUT having become. A HUGE android fan, the lag was driving me CRAZY!, but the os and even the apps, were much nicer than anything I ever found with Blackberry, so YES-WINDOWS.***

Blackberry. I can’t wait to try out the new OS next year!

Reply
By Steve on December 11, 2012 at 2:40 pm:

This is cruel, making us choose between two OS’s that many of would never use. Well, since I hate Windows and Microsoft so much, I would have to go with a Blackberry. At least they seem to have some sense of what security really is (plus there is a new version coming, or so they keep saying)

I had 2 Windows phones so far in my Mobile history. One was the Motorola Q (thinnest smart phone in the world for a while), and then I had the Samsung i760. I would have no problem switching to a Windows 8 phone. I certainly wouldn’t get a Blackberry. They are for a different target market than a mid 20′s engineer/nerd.

of course window phone 8. Who would actually pick a Blackberry these day?

Reply
By Jeremiah on December 11, 2012 at 2:58 pm:

If I had to choose, I’m going with Windows Phone. Whatever else you can about them, Microsoft is committed to the consumer sector and has the money to really make Windows Phone work. It just might take them a few more years. BlackBerry is a dead platform, IMO. If it weren’t for the enterprise sector, they would have been out of business a year ago. BlackBerry 10 excites no one.

Windows Phone! It has a more functional user interface, more apps, and doesn’t cling to old physical keyboard designs.

Windows Phone 8, I’ve had a blackberry and they are just not aging well.

Windows Phone, Blackberries have been slowing the productivity of all individuals using them, since they came out.

Windows Phone 8 for sure. Blackberry was my first smart phone and I loved it, but it’s not kept up with the “big guys” – Android, Apple, Microsoft.

Windows phone! Especially the new OS. It kicks the butt of any blackberry.

Reply
By Mugsy P. on December 11, 2012 at 4:33 pm:

Neither OS will ever be ready for prime time. But if having to choose one. Windows because of better cross platform integration, more choices, and better app. development. Blackberry IM and email is all RIM did well. Complete lack of app devs or new hardware innovation has just run this company into the ground. Two years from now they will be bought out or just liquidated.

Windows Phone for me because sooner or later Microsoft will get it right. Just being patient.

By Dylan zweigart on December 11, 2012 at 5:14 pm:

I would definitely go with the windows 8 phone because I’ve never had a Windows Phone and also the one blackberry I did have had the smallest keys in the world, and with big hands it didn’t work out. I know most blackberrys are built this way.

Windows phone 8… Not nearly as bad as blackberry.

Windows Phone. Blackberry waited too long to make the transition to touchscreens and more non-business friendly UI.

I’ll go with the family and say Window Phone 8. They have something interesting going on with xbox, window 8, surface, etc. Doing what Apple and Google already did, and creating a nice ecosystem. Blackberry… even if the 10 might be good. You do end up with 1 devices and that’s it.

Of course the Underdog is Blackberry. As I am the fan of the underdog I would go with Blackberry’s new attempt back in the market. Window’s Phones are great tools to use when you have a PC, as is Iphone with the Macs. But if I never ventured out to buy my first Android Phone, My Touch G3 I wouldn’t have been blown away with the Underestimated tiny dog, running up on the purebred champion of Iphones. So with this in mind, I would give the Blackberry a chance with it’s giving track record for reliability and ease of use. Window’s phones are great products, but with too much Blocks and not enough Glare and pizzazz such as the Android OS. Give the man a chance, he will more than likely surprise you.

I would choose Windows Phone, not only because Blackberry has lagged severely since the advent of the touch screen phone era, but also because Windows phones seem to have really attractive hardware

If I had to pick between the two I guess I would pick the Windows phone, but presonally I really love my Htc lte and wth no interest of changing to the Blackberry or the Windows phone in the near furture.

Windows Phone definitely. I had windows phones for a while before I made the switch to android. HTC HD2 was my last Windows Phone before and it was great back then.

Windows Phone, because I used to own both, but WP7 was much better than Blackberry. Still, I’d rather own Android anyday!!
