I'm pleased with my windows phone platform devices. Outdated/obsolescence is irrelevant as I have observed. My HTC Trophy is 2 years old and still running well and as smoothly as the first day I turned it on. I have had no problems with damage or breaking. I am careful with the device. I've never made an insurance claim with a phone so I cannot speak to that effect. Only in parts of rural PA have I had signal problems.

Now my friend has an Android HTC Thunderbolt. That is LOL.

That being said. i still prefer using the PC/Keyboard over the phone.
