If only the Windows mobile OS had half the perks or app draw Android has. I am not even gonna say iOS cause nothing comes close to iOS variety of apps.

this looks nice. My current phone is a Sony Xperia M. I've never dealt with phones with windows. But this looks pretty cool. but I kinda like Android better, and if I buy this phone it's not because I need it

It's all about the apps (for the normal Android user, that's their complaint). Check the Windows Store if the apps you use are there or at least an alternative.

Windows Phone is butter smooth and that's what I like about it. I don't need no 1M apps to be happy.

Windows runs smooth on 1GB ram. It's not a ram hoard like Android.

Windows Phones run smooth on half a gig. It's not a problem.

I have a Samsung Ativ S from 2012 with WP which is much faster than the Galaxy Notes of 2015. This Lumia looks like a killer device also.
