I've really been wanting to get the Lumia because the first smartphone i got was a windows 7 phone and i really liked it but it had a problem where the data would go up even if i was connected to wifi. I've heard that it's not an issue with this one. I've tried doing as much research as i can on comparisons and just the phone in general and i lot of what i get is stuff on the camera, the look and shit like that. I don't really care about the camera. The main thing i needed on the phone was group messaging and i heard that the phone had but when i tried it out on the phone yesterday it didn't work because it wouldn't get my friends' iMessages. So i left the store with the iphone 5 but i'm second guessing it. I feel like i could easily just use the group texting on my old iphone 4 and just get the lumia but then i'm worried the lumia might some problems and it would end up backfiring on me. 

So if anybody has the lumia or iphone and if you can give any suggestions, it would be helpful

i had a windows 7 phone, the HTC surround i think was the name. If it wasn't for the wifi issue i would never have switched to the iphone 4

I've had a windows phone before. ... its all preference but I'll tell you the set up of that phone was horrible. Just copied galaxy s3, maybe windows phones are different now but the app selection was the worst thing about the windows phone, some were 79.99 and they were shit lol

I don't care that the iphone is smaller, the positives for sticking with the iphone 5 is the simplicity in using it and the convenience of it especially the group message which is really quick with imessage. Like i said i really want the lumia i like the look of it and i like the things you can do it with it. The negatives for getting it would be i would have to have the lumia and my iphone 4 with me in most cases(not that big of an issue though), i've read it still has the same wifi issues although there is supposed to be an update to fix it and finally since it is somewhat new it's possible it can have other bugs where as the iphone functions very well. My cousin who just recently got her first smartphone in the iphone 5 told me i'm just interested in the lumia because it's brand new where as the iphone 5 isn't that different from my iphone 4, maybe that's it. But i still have time to think about it, so i'm gonna take my time. but thanks for the info and to the people talking about the galaxy or note although i've heard really good things about those phone i'm only looking at iphone or lumia

Get the god damn Lumia son.
