I use the Apple world for a lot of things, but I started to use my Lumia 822 when the Amber update turned on the FM transmitter. Since I am a bit of a gadget nomad when it comes to electronics, I assumed I would be done with it in a week.

However, I discovered something odd. The lumia pushes my mail to my phone faster than my ipads do. I will be sitting at my desk on my ipad and my phone will buzz and invariably my lumia is getting my mail before my ipad. Both gmail and yahoo.

I found that extremely odd. If anyone can explain why, I'd love to know. I happens both on wifi and on Verizon lite.

Also, I find texting on the lumia easier, as it tends to come up with the next word that I am going to text before I even start the word. I guess it must somehow remember my texts and give me a list of possible words.

Anyway, while the 5C and 5S do look attractive, I may old off for a while and play nice with my Lumia.
 
Sorry, don't use it for photos but I'd suspect the photos are decent. The screen on this is very sharp and I believe the Amber update made some improvements to the camera.
 
I have the 520. These phones are great, definitely. Here's a shot from that. I only cropped it in Preview.
