The End of My Windows Phone Experiment

I'm thinking it is about time for me to bail on Windows phone.
I should state that I actually have loved my 920.
I was more than a little pissed the way Nokia and Microsoft didn't come out with a new flagship phone and phablet during the purchase transition.
Then they waited because it made sense not to put out another 8.1 phone right before the release of 10 Mobile.
I'm even more pissed that AT&T is the only carrier providing one of the new phones and they aren't even providing the phablet.
TMobile is doing everything humanly possible to steal my business and I think they succeeded with the streaming video news.
My new car only has limited Windows phone support so I can't get the most out of the tech package with Windows. Even if I could, I would get pillaged by AT&T when I obliterate my data with Pandora.
Really looking like my Windows Phone days are over. And heck, I like the damn thing. I've been testing 10 out on my 920 for over a month and I like it although I'm not sure they are going to have a gold version that is really close to actually being gold when it releases later this month.

I love the cowardly down votes without responses.
How about pointing out what you disagree with. Everything I said is 100% fact.

I had the 920 and loved the phone as well as the OS. The only problem I couldn't overcome was app availability and app support.

Sounds like the Amiga of smartphones.

You do realize you have more options than just Lumia right? HTC One is available with Windows 10, so are others. Samsung is reported very interested in an offering once they get some legal issues ironed out.

I loved the 920, the OS, the camera,everything. I went with the Note 4 a yr ago, and while I've liked android, it's very glitch and the Note 4 camera is horrible. I was very disappointed about Windows not coming out with anything new for 3 yrs

I've been a Microsoft Developer since the early-mid 90's and I'm really disappointed with how Microsoft handled this whole debacle.
I've got a HTC One and its nearing its life end and I'm not certain which way I'm going, but its probably away from MSP.
I've never seen MS drop the ball the way they have on the phone project. I'm not a big fan Google and I'm certainly not an Auburn phone guy. Maybe the Luddite approach to phones and not have one at all.

The wife and I recently merged phone plans, she was TMobile and I was with Sprint. We both moved to Verizon because TMobile coverage is pretty non-existent in North La and was topped only by the non-existent Customer Service we found when we went by the Sprint store.
tl;dr - check the TMobile coverage for areas you frequent before you decide to move to their network.

So you're generally happy with the products and performance, but are considering abandoning because you're not happy with the pace and order they bring the products out? And there isn't a customized package for your specific usage situation?
Those are your big complaints?
Honestly, you aren't a customer I would be worried about keeping, then, because you're impossible to satisfy. Heck, here I was thinking you were a dude.
