I had one too, I really liked it. Only problems I ran into were things like credit card readers not working because the apps didn’t have the same access to hardware that they had on other devices. Otherwise I definitely preferred it over android.

Don’t you usually have external hardware for credit card readers anyway?

Now days yeah but back then the only cheap option were the ones that plugged into the headphone jack. So the software needed to be able to access the mic line from the headphone jack and it couldn’t do that on windows phone.
