What is everyone's opinion on the most recent iteration of WP8? I'm thinking about getting the Nokia Lumia Icon (929) when it comes out next week (hopefully). I hate ios and I'm sick of the instability of Android. I don't especially care about the lack of apps on WP8. I don't use many apps now and I've already made sure the ones I care about are available on WP8. I value stability, camera, and some customization.

'Instability of android' as in you've only owned the shit android phones not the Samsung Galaxy S4, Note 3, HTC One, or Moto X. Or, you haven't owned one in over 2 years and your information is dated.
'Hate ios' So you don't care about apps but want stability, camera quality, and customization. Enjoy your Windows Phone experience.
In addition to their shit app store you can contend with:
overhyped shit camera.
Absolute garbage for transferring data. Microsoft Zune for music, no plug and copy/paste. And have fun with photos too.
Bugs out the ass, they try to get you excited about new 'windows 8.1' and windows 8, and windows 7 phone. Each one claiming to fix the glaring problems that made it a niche phone the generation before.
As someone who has been in the cellular business since the iPhone 3GS launched, I would recommend a high end android phone for the best overall user experience while still getting a decent screen size. That being said I don't particularly like apple, most of their stuff is overpriced, but the iPhone 5S is a solid phone and the only reason I don't use the iPhone now is I like a larger screen. The new software did shit up older hardware iphones(most notably the iPhone 4 with its single core processor) that downloaded the update, but that's an optional update and I make it a point to avoid any major iphone software update on an older model.
Yeah enjoy your windows phone, and when something fucks up on it or your trying to do something, and you go to the store and everyone looks at you like your insane when you ask for help with it, have fun. Windows Phones are right there with blackberry.
