My last couple of mobile phones have been Android based, but I'm tempted by the latest Lumia models. I know they are Microsoft based, but , if anyone has one, would I still be able to back up all my data, (Contacts, apps, documents etc) to my Google account?

With the phone being a different OS, you would need to back up your contacts to a Microsoft account, Hotmail/Live. You would also be able to synronise with Outlook.

Don't know who put solved on this thread, I certainly didn't.
After further research on the internet I believe it is possible, with the latest versions of windows, to sync all the usual stuff, IE Contacts, Calender, Tasks etc. with a Google account. That is my interpretation of what I have read, it would be great if somebody could confirm this as I really do fancy the latest Nokia (Microsoft) offerings.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply Laura, but that link only talks about Windows 7, and as I mentioned in my post, I think, from my research, that the latest versions of windows, IE Windows 8.1, which I'm fairly sure all new Lumia 930's ship with, that full synchrinisation with Google is possible. But I would love somebody to confirm that I'm correct in my interpretation of what I have read.
Thanks again,
Peter
