I've used it in stores a lot...so you're right...because I'd never buy one lol.
I know all about it considering I read up on all this shyt if I'm not using it. Every person I know that converted to it at one point all came back to either android or iPhone...for obvious reason that you don't want to believe for some reason lol.
Seems to me you just have a old school mindset and don't realize the more "modern" adult to young demographic wants more than what Windows phone offers. You try to downplay the app situation...the update situation...and everything else you either choose to ignore or just don't realize. You are a developer right? You're not the typical smartphone owner in 2015...you subconsciously speak and see things from a different perspective. You really don't realize how people ignore Windows phone. You thinking "more integration with Windows computers" is somehow going to change things is simple lol

Lol@apple in trouble. We'll see how good your memory is when we revisit this post a year from now
I'm downplaying the app situation because I'm moving past it already. LOL @ the idea of updating every single app in 2015. You don't realize how ridiculous you would feel in a tech meet up today. Everyone hates the process as it is now, it is just being dealt with because cellular remote connections still need to improve.
What is it that Windows phone does not offer outside of the app ecosystem which is completely overblown? Do you realize that Windows is the best scalable platform out there today? They accomplished what apple has been trying to accomplish for years and in a more open environment
Most people can't even operate a modern iPhone with a single hand. Their thumb does not reach the top opposite of the screen easily. Go and counter that with a stacked system that Apple doesn't let the user manipulate the organization in any way.
Sorry, double tapping the touch id is not a good solution.
You are clearly out of your league in this discussion so it's kinda pointless to keep going back and forth with you. The problem with you has always been that once you commit to a platform you can't be bothered to be objective. I own all platforms including a blackberry because UI and UX are of great concern to me and need to learn how we are all improving the way people use their phones.
Windows phones are getting a boost with Facebook, Instagram and facebook messenger universal apps. The universal apps thing should help microsoft big time on windows phone in time because the apps written for windows will just work on windows phones too.
It's all going universal. The very idea of fragmented app stores and creating a headache for developers is ridiculous as most of these apps don't even push the hardware on these devices.
Why do you think The Coli never bothered with an app? We are already ahead of the curve...the website works across all phones from an OG Palm Pre (I tried it) to an iPhone 6S+ flawlessly.

sure buddy. You've been "predicting" shyt for YEARS and ive yet to see any of your bold claims come to fruitiion. You've been wrong MANY times but you will never admit it. Im sure a lot of people that post more here can attest to that. You've been predictiong apple losing for awhile now...a long while. They just had the biggest opening of sales ever for a iphone recently lol smh. For you to be so allegedly knowledgeable, you sure have been wrong a lot lol.
off top i remember you clowning folks saying the whole sd card shyt is going away.....now look where we are lol. Even SAMSUNG been moving away from that shyt. Smarten up nas
A typical empty response, have a good one.
Html5 apps will be the only was MS has a chance. A screen and a web browser should be the future....but things still ain't optimized yet.
I feel chromebook is moving thing forward and making browser apps more popular.
And till this day iOS apps are still better than their android counterpart and some apps never show up on android. Photo/Instagram apps be missing features on android , official Twitter app on android lacks the number of people in each list and notifications are buggy. Android still ain't got hype lapse, infinity blade trilogy, Facebook paper, and the Facebook mentions app. Android just got lock notification last year. THE BEST THING ABOUT ANDROID IS THE REWARDS SURVEY APP SO YOU CAN GET MONEY FOR APPS & GOOGLE PLAY PRODUCTS.

You keep talking about how HTML5/Web Apps are gonna take over. I'm still waiting for it to happen. Not just on mobile, but on Game Consoles, Smart TVs/Blu-ray players, media boxes, & etc.HTML5 is what we all want, why bother having to create Windows Desktop, Phone, Mac OS X, iOS, and Android versions of apps that we are all using the same way?
It is a headache to manage all of that stuff for companies when you can have a single focus that can spread across devices. Once Apple gets on the touch screen bandwagon for their computers it will make even more sense.
It is definitely taking a long time, but understand that it is a very daunting task.
You basically have to create a solution that will work on resolutions between 1024x768 all the way up to 5K now. It is slowly getting there, but it is what everyone is trying to get to eventually. Google is ahead of all the other browsers in making it work with chrome. Once everything starts dropping dedicated keyboards for the majority of the applications is when the real push is going to happen. That is why Microsoft is pushing the Surface line so hard, ironically Apple is lagging behind in that space. It is mind boggling to me that a touch macbook has not been released yet.
Video Games and thing that push hardware will continue to run on dedicated hardware.

You act like the app ecosystem is not a major deal though. While it may be true that we will use cross platform web apps one day in the *future*, what happens while we wait? It's not like it's going to happen over the next few weeks or months or year. There's no reason for the average consumer to jump if this isn't happening for another 2-3 years. People aren't trying to jump to a platform that doesn't support the most popular feature of smartphones today.
Microsoft is positioning themselves very nicely for the future but let's not pretend that completely missing or at best being sorely behind the competition in a key smartphone feature works for the average (or even above average) consumer. Until they can bridge that gap, they'll have a niche product in an market dominated by two manufacturers on opposite ends of the spectrum. And once they get there, it's still an uphill battle to stay afloat.
We definitely need another major player to shake things up though. I'm cheering for them and will support if the new phone reviews look good.
