    Are there people who are paid to suggest Windows phones when people ask "What phone should I get" on Twitter???

        @avantgame There are lots of people who like Windows Phones, the research on it is interesting but unfortunately confidential.

        @avantgame Underdog fans are pretty intense. I think most Winphone users are more dedicated than me, and I technically work on it! 😁

        @avantgame I had a Droid3 before the 4S. It worked until it did not. As someone said previously, never again.

        @avantgame FWIW I love my iPhone 4S but I guess you already said you would rather not wait for a new iPhone. Presumably, older iPhones nna.

        @avantgame I wish! I've had a few iphones and they all had hardware faults. The HTC 8X is quite quick and hardly has to update.

        @avantgame If number of annual Windows Phone recommendations via Twitter are a metric used by MS in employee evaluations, I am not surprised

        @avantgame I think they're just the anti-IPhone folks. Personally I'd avoid the Android OS like the plague. It's horrible. Never ever again!
