Considering switching to a Windows Phone?
I often get people who ask me the difference between Windows Phone and iPhone. Many people already know the iPhone platform so I thought I would share a few features I love about the new Windows Phone 8 that you may consider when switching phones.
The links below and short videos will address questions like:
- What about my iTunes music library?
- Can I sync the phone with my Mac?
- What makes Windows Phone unique?
Below I have compiled a few of my favorite features I like to share with friends and family:
