Microsoft has supposedly built a system to basically "translate" apps to work on windows 10, since the main problem was the shear amount of work required to re-code an app made windows the last choice for developers, this should solve that problem.
In a year they might be worth looking at. Its all down to usage really. If it gets all the bells and whistles they are claiming, Windows could pull some serious market share away from Apple. Who knows?
The 530 was a Nokia but the next two are both Microsoft branded devices as Nokia had to be bought out by MS as Windows pretty much sent them broke, the Nokia Belle firmware was in may ways better than Windows 8.1 but the phones were so so slow in regards to loading and installing apps.
The camera on my 640XL is a 13MP with Zeiss branded lens and like any small sensor does decent shots in good light and the warm white flash works well up close
I don't think Windows 10 will help pull many people away from Apple but may sway a few Android users. I find the best part is the extended drop down menu on the home page, you can use the traditional one or extended and almost every icon can be long pressed to take you to the settings for that function. Oh it also seems to work really well with the dual SIM model I have(bought it in Spain, the AU models are single SIM).
I haven't had an Android phone since Ice Cream Sandwich so I imagine it is quite a lot more feature rich than it was when I had a phone but I wasn't a fan and found my phone would be up to something sneaky when I wasn't watching plus I trust Google about as much as I trust an Ice addict(they do however pay some of my wage so I should be nice haha).
