We posted up earlier today that Microsoft, specifically BenThePCGuy, made a challenge that Windows Phone was faster than your device. We caught up with Ben and were able to watch him battle it out with Windows Phone.

In the video, Ben is able to best the competition in a speed race to post a message to Facebook. Now we are well aware that this type of competition is not a true comparison of the two platforms as they both have their shortcomings and if one individual is not as familiar with their device, they could take longer. It does portray that Windows Phone can easily compete head to head with the competing platforms.

But, as Ben later tweeted, out of 13 battles, Windows Phone won 12 of the match-ups. Want to see the challenge in action? Take a look at the video below.
