My Windows Phone 8 is still in daily use and I've found several areas where the phone outperforms competitors - namely automatically downloading podcasts, integration of messaging (albeit with limitations), smart tiles and an overal easier interface to navigate.

In short, if you're looking for a first smartphone - or are suffering from app fatigue and find that you don't really need to have copies of all the latest and greatest apps - then Windows Phone 8 will be ideal for you. If you absolutely require a phone that has all the latest apps - I'd recommend waiting at least another release cycle before jumping into Windows Phone 8.
