I moved from Android to WP8 - Nokia Lumia 920. The hardware is top notch and the basic OS is very well done. If you are into social media then you will be good to go right out of the box. If you are a heavy user of 3rd party apps then you will be disappointed. The Win store is nowhere as complete as Apple/Android and some of the apps I downloaded were not as reliable. My 920 phone took great pictures when new but I after updates from Win and Nokia for whatever reason the pictures really suffered. I have a friend who runs a Nokia 1020 phone and he loves it. His photos and videos are stunning. I dropped my 920 dozens of times over the years without issue until just a few months ago it left the table and hit our tile floor. Screen was devastated.

I'm not sure I would go back to WP or not. I reverted to an old Android phone, Samsung Captivate, for a while to sort things out. Runs really slow now - can't keep up with the newer apps and services that require better hardware.

The OnePlus One looks interesting. My biggest pet peeve with Android is all the bloatware that the service and handset providers throw on. The OnePlus runs a custom ROM out of the box with no bloat. Very clean and ready for whatever you want.
