As you may know, I have been a long time iPhone user and the recent release of the iPhone 5 has re-affirmed my iOS loving stance. But then I watched the launch event for Windows Phone 8 and a spark went off in my head that said “That looks good.” I am not sure what jumped out at me, but it was probably some or all of the following-
The hardware looks great- it is distinctive, unusual and there are options from big screens to smaller screens, from red to blue and from HTC to Nokia.
The software was fantastic in the previous version and Windows Phone 8 has built upon that without damaging what was good before. The home screen in particular is now much more usable and considerably more obvious when capturing useful information with a single glance.
It is smooth as silk and offers all of the stability of iOS with the potential to customise a little more and have choices in the future. In many ways, it could be considered the perfect centre-ground between iOS and Android.
And so my thoughts continue to swirl and the more I think about it, the more Windows Phone calls out to me. You know that feeling when something feels right before you even try it? Like a car, a house or even an item on a restaurant menu. That’s the feeling I have and suspect that Windows Phone will be my next mobile adventure after potentially too long with iOS.

Last night, HTC announced to the world the HTC 8X and the 8S (yes it will get confusing with the One X and One S), 2 new Windows Phone 8 smartphones.
On first glance, you would be forgiven for thinking they were Nokia designed phones, but they are quite different.
HTC have put a lot of effort into producing something special.
Having had hands on with these already we can say that they are very thin, they really are. Smooth edges and a curved back make them feel more comfortable in the palm of your hand, there are too an array of interesting colour options.
So what do they have to offer?

We took a shot of the HTC 8X and 8S sat next to a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. You can see that the Windows Phones are in fact very similarly sized, yet they have smaller screens!
As we mentioned earlier, HTC have put a lot of work into the design of these handsets and you can find out more about this by watching the following video:
