The Lumia Windows phones were actually pretty nice. App support was lacking but I have never been an app user. I would have kept using mine if the BlackBerry KeyOne hadn't come out shortly after.

I think it's common for former BlackBerry stans to go for unconventional phones to replace them. iPhone and typical Android phones are boring to me. I'm currently using a Surface Duo 2 and looking into a foldable as my next phone.

I had a Lumia with Win Phone (I forget the exact model & sw version) and thought it was great - it was super fast, lightweight and the battery life was decent but there weren't many apps out there, at least not in comparison to Android
