>implying i trust google or apple
Is there another choice? I want a "smart phone", but just can't get around to trusting either Google or Apple. It sounds like they track everything you do. Was considering a Windows Phone, but it seems to have a lack of support. And I'm not sure I trust Microsoft all that well. Probably more so than Google/Apple though.

It's a hard discussion to have. I know Apple isn't trusted in my book as they seem to be giving up data more leniently than Google. Google recently had a dispute with the US Govt. about what type of data they publish and share with the people/govt. I don't know the details, but they seemed to be annoyed that the Govt would push them for such data, however, they lost the case in court, and was ordered to proceed with the demands of the GOVT. I'd trust Google > Apple. However, its tough to say if they were held up with 'no-choices' but to reveal user data.

Pretty much my same thought. If I was forced to use one or the other, I'd go with the Android. And thanks for those sources. If the Windows Phone had more support (Teamspeak, Bitcoin, etc), I'd pick it. I was a big fan of the Zune and still have my Zune HD that I use everyday. It's far better than an iPod as far as music and fluid controls go. But it has no apps and a crappy internet browser. It's fantastic as just a music player, but lacks everywhere else. I was hoping the Windows Phone would be an improvement, but it's not getting enough attention. So I'm torn between a phone with no support, or one that GPS tracks and filters your life. This is the only reason I do not own a smart phone.

I won't, Windows Mobile, predecessor to windows phone, was quite well supported and they pulled the plug completely on it when WP came out. They could do the same again when they make their minds up about RT/W9, could end up with a 6 month old device that's useless... completely different to how long they have supported their desktop OS products.
