> High-quality phones for way cheaper than iPhones. If you buy a Nokia Lumia, the highest-quality cameras ever placed on phones (41MP camera on the Lumia 1020). Integrated free Microsoft Office. Clean, efficient UI design that differentiates itself nicely from Android and iOS with the use of Live Tiles. The most stable and smooth-performing OS on the market. Features like Data Sense, Wifi Sense, FM radio and offline maps (you can still get turn-by-turn live directions using GPS and downloaded maps without cell signal). Excellent integration with Windows 8 apps and settings(that one might not matter if you don’t use W8).

What makes it so high quality? What constitutes “high quality” for you vs iPhones?
I don’t use MS office.(I currently have no need and have had much higher priorities on my “to buy” list)
How are Live Tiles that much more amazing from the simplicity that is the iPhone OS? I can’t speak for Androids. I know Droids can be notoriously -bleep-y to configure if you are not super tech suave.
How is it the most stable OS on the market? How is the iPhone OS not stable? Why not the many Droid OSs? They all seem to work equally fine from what I understand. How is a Windows phone better than all the other options?
What the heck is “Data sense”? Wifi sense…? Why should I care about either of those?
I don’t use radio. Ever.
Offline maps would be mildly useful but almost 100% moot because 4G/3G access 24/7.
I do not have Windows 8 on my laptop. I will not have Windows 8 for a long time.
“Cortana” isn’t enough to sell me on a Windows phone.
I’m a hard customer. You’re REALLY going to have to convince me.

I would stick with the iPhone plus the iPhone 6 mite be out in 3/4 weeks.
iPhone 6 will be crazy expensive. If I’m going to pay that much for a new phone I am going to wait for the iPhone 6 S model to be released. Bear in mind that I have an iPhone 4.
If I can be convinced to get something else, then woot. If not, I’ll wait for the S. But my 4 is degrading quickly.

> A new audio director!! Thank God
? He’s been with 343 since Halo CEA… He is the audio director for side Project like Legends, Anniversary and other material I believe. He’s not confirmed to be the one for Halo 5

Oh… I thought the words “senior Audio Director” would imply that he replaced the old one working on Halo4. So much for the excitement.
