75 percent of Windows Phone Owners Migrate to Android or iOS
The drop-off rate of end-users with a Windows Phone migrating towards Android or iOS is rather ginormous. Whenever users get a chance to upgrade, they move on-wards. Only 20% stays loyal to Windows Phone, 60 percent moved to Android, 15 percent moves to iOS.
These numbers come from Ericsson in their Mobility Report, and yeah .. are pretty darn significant.
Androiod users are the most loyal as 82% stay on that platform after their purchase. For iOS that is 73%. According to the report a new Windows Phone model is only suitable for 20%. Where the last 5% stays is not clear in the rapport. The rapport also mentions that high-end smarphone users are much more loyal to their OS opposed to a low-end model.
Ericsson uses anonymous data it gathers from more than a hundred networks worldwide.
Check that report right here.

Misleading. They haven't made a flagship phone since the Lumia 1020. Of course everyone's going to switch to another OS.
And to the other user saying it's restrictive, it's just as bad as iOS. The only difference is that iOS has a richer store.

I am myself on a second Windows Phone - Lumia 930. Previously I used Symbian, no iOS or Android... and nothing will prompt me to switch to Android or, god forbid, iOS. I am only afraid to thnk of full Windows phone demise, but I hope it won't happen.
Also, for some reason IT department colleagues in our company also switch to Windows phone. In the last 1.5 years 5 of my colleagues switched from Android to Windows... I know we are probably exceptions, but still nice to know.
Personally I am looking forward to Windows 10. Not entirely to the OS itself, but possibilities it brings to developers. Hope this kickstarts good app development (I mean quality-wise good apps. There's no lack of crappy apps on Windows store).

My Mrs has a Nokia lumia. If you switch the phone off, the alarms don't work.
If you have an Office 365 subscription, it's not compatible, you would need Office business version. Pretty much the only reason why you might want a Windows mobile device and MS don't allow it. These people are insane.
More evidence of the extensive use of the crack pipe at MS is despite their poor performance in the mobile space, they continue the march with Win10 for a one size fits all OS while continuing to alienate their traditional core customers. So they're shifting to a market that they're getting destroyed in. Awesome stuff MS.

I'll likely move back once Windows 10 mobile is up and running smoothly.

It's actually rather rare that they work. I'm pretty sure they don't work in Z3 Compact. My Honor 6 now (at least since lollipop update) asks if I want to keep the alarm when I shut down the phone (and then it would boot automatically).

Hardly a surprise. Very restricting operating system and lack of control/customization...
