In an illuminating nine minute video, Rettinger explains why Windows Phone, and specifically the HTC Titan, is the phone that made him leave iOS:
We often get caught up in the hype of what the next flagship smartphone will be, whether its an Apple or Android device. I’m guilty, I’ll admit. Often it’s specs this, screen that, camera, resolution, etc. Working at TechnoBuffalo, I’ve been fortunate enough to test and play with almost all of the top smartphones, past and present. As a result, I’ve gotten an eclectic taste for what each company has to offer, hardware and OS-wise. But recently things have seemed dull, unexciting, too much of the same thing...
Previously, the OS was nothing to write home about, and in many ways it lacked the polish capable of competing against Android and iOS. Then Mango showed up in a 4.7-inch package.
Yet another person giving Windows Phone a fair trial, and switching over. Rettinger does question apps, but he found either conversions of the apps he wants (Netflix, Kindle, etc) or have 1:1 replacements.
