Sooo....I dropped my phone the other day, face first onto concrete; fuque.
Drop into Wally world and pick up the cheapest smartphone they have; Nokia. Hmmm..this ain't so bad! Hell, this is a much better UI than android or that similar but shittier apple thing. Who knew MS was now making the best phone OS?? |

Windows phone are now at 2% of phones...I have a windows phone because the company pays for it. Still hate it, most for travel. I leave it at work and use my own phone at home/weekends it's that bad. When I was hired the IT guy said they would pay for any apps I wanted/needed. None of the professional apps everyone in my industry uses was available for windows phones. |

Quoted:
Windows phones = lack of apps, pitiful market share, could be dropped whenever Microsoft wants to stop wasting money on a losing platform. I wouldn't take one for free. As an android user for the past 5 years—lack of apps bothers me, market share doesn't. MS has been "wasting money on a losing platform" for 15 years. I'd take one for free. If I wasn't so caught in Google's ecosystem, I'd probably pay money for one. |
| I actually like the OS and some of the Nokia hardware is the best out there but the lack of apps is a non-starter. If MS could resolve that, I believe they could put a serious dent in the iOS/Andriod market. Now, they're barely ahead of what's left of Blackberry. |

I wouldn't pay for one, but the OS seems pretty neat in the limited time I've played with it in store. The biggest drawback for me is their app store.
Say what you want about Apple, but it's been a blessing for me. I'd say 90% of my friends/family also have iPhones and since I'm rural with ZERO cell service, I can use imessage or facetime audio to text/call people. Saved me from having to by a $250 signal booster that probably wouldn't have even worked with my slow as hell DSL. |
