One of the problems we've seen with Windows Phone devices thus far is that if you've seen one Windows Phone, you've basically seen them all. After all, how much can you do when all the phones feature the same basic specifications and are dominated by a similar touchscreen.
Pros:
- Near-perfect design
- solid camera
- excellent AMOLED display
- fast and silky smooth
Cons:
- Non-swappable battery
- no 1080p HD video recording

- Windows Phone software is slick and fun to use
- Free music streaming with Nokia's Mix Radio
- Onboard navigation software
- Stylish, sturdy design
Cons:
- Camera is pretty average
- No microSD card slot
- Lacks a front-facing camera
