Flumoxed: The problem with Windows Phone is:

They do not have the apps. The one thing that is a must have on my phone is a banking app. B of A discontinued their banking app a year ago. That is why I have an android phone now. Even if it is x86 compatible and runs windows, it will still lack basic support that the iPhone and Android already have. Ash likes to bash Intel on its mobile success, and while he overdoes it, Intel basically has failed in mobile. But Microsoft has done pretty shittily too. At least in the US, you HAVE to get the carriers to buy in to your product. Both Intel and MS have little success. MS did get a few carriers to carry windows phone but their new flagship is no where to be found except the MS store. If you really want an Intel phone, you can pick up the Asus Zenphone. It is downright steal at $299 and comes with 4GB of Ram. On the downside it doesn't work with CDMA for the reasons Ash previously noted. So your pretty going to be stuck with a carrier like ATT. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875220008&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Cell+Phone+-+Unlocked+Cell+Phones-_-N82E16875220008&gclid=CjwKEAiAova1BRDS15OXjcug_FMSJACWNAKZGtY4ytUWC9TPJp0nj341T258KZcvNbQg0gST5Q5GFRoCtSjw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
