I use Windows phones exclusively: never used Android, iOS or Blackberry. Used Symbian for like a month while waiting to get my first Windows phone (an HTC HD7 which I am still fond off).

I am a power user. I am a software developer (I use Surface Pro 3 exclusively for my work. The Type Cover is sufficient for me and I use it on my laps most times, despite what some bloggers say). I also run a fans platform for Windows phones using Twitter, Facebook and Instagram (BBM too briefly) all from my Windows phones (no online blog for now). The platform is pretty popular in my country because of my sense of humor, laid back attitude and the unusually high level of interaction. Ok, the free phones and other freebies that people get to win when I can get Nokia/Microsoft to sponsor helps with the popularity too

I receive and send like hundred emails a day (work and personal), all from my Windows phones (Windows 10 Mobile even makes this very easy). I can say they are my office really.

I am not really into games (primarily why I have not bought the Xbox) but for the racing games I like, I have enough to keep me happy). Personally, I am active on Facebook and Twitter, both on my Windows phones. I don't have a personal Instagram account and don't plan to have one. I am not even attracted to Snapchat (but I wish the CEO guy brings it to Windows for those that need it).

I listen to music all the time while I work, mostly from my phone (Groove makes this even better). My bank has a Windows phone app but sometimes I use my mobile browser. I like taking photos, I prefer to be the one pressing the camera button and I often get conscripted to do so. I would even volunteer anyway . I edit them on my Windows phones before sending them out.

I use Whatsapp and Skype primarily. Telegram and other messaging apps, I know about them but I don't use them. I keep my hobbies (reading, architecture, news, history, etc) on my phones and Surface.

Now, going by popular tech blogs, it would seem all these are not possible on Windows or extremely difficult. But I don't seem to be struggling to do all of these. And I am not sad, like the poster that found happiness after moving to the iPhone. I have no desire to move to Android or IOS (money not being the problem, even though I am not rich). And it is not a case of not knowing what I am 'missing' because I actually know. And did you say I settle for mediocre? That doesn't describe me. And no, it's not shame. Even Microsoft employees use iPhones.

So, am I unique in my use case? Or maybe I am missing the meaning of a power user? Are there people like me that know tech very well and still use Windows phones primarily with no stress? What are your experiences like? Please share.
