I bought this phone for a little bit more, it's pretty rubbish. The lack of apps on Windows annoyed me, the camera is pretty poor, and I found myself bashing the screen on many occasions because it wasn't responding. There were also times where the phone would send emails or randomly call people in my pocket. I bought an android phone in the end and I would never go back to Windows. It's cheap and you get what you pay for, so I've not voted either way.

I have this phone, the camera is actually excellent considering it's price point, vastly superior to the Moto E that I also own.

Popular ones like Flickr, Pinterest, Some mobile banking ones which are basically a link to the website. Android has way more. The apps tend to only have a few ratings on Windows, whereas android apps tend to have hundreds, which makes it easier to see if they are any good.

One positive is that the battery lasts forever, I could go a couple of days before needing to charge it.

No, I liked it at first, so much so that I recommended my partner to get one, now she is annoyed by the poor/lack of apps and the fact that hers freezes and needs the battery to be taken out and put back in again for it to work.

Worst phone I've ever had. App store is beyond terrible, every browser is awful to use it really struggles to open websites properly like even this site or try loading n4g... When you scroll you get a white screen. The touch screen is bad as well which is a common issue with the phone it's almost unusable when charging. I wouldn't use this phone if it was free.

I'd have to agree, I even considered going back to an old HTC Desire whilst choosing a new android phone.
