I remember having a Windows phone with a YouTube "app" that was just a link to the YT website
-
The biggest tragedy here is that Microsoft not only failed themselves, but also took down Nokia with them :(
-
I used a Windows phone man I just needed YouTube that's all....
-
Windows Phone: exist App developer companies: I've never met this man in my life.
-
I miss my Windows phone, but yes, the lack of apps sucked!
-
I used a windows phone for a year (HTC HD7) and the limited apps was the biggest issue for sure
-
This is a proof that you shouldn't underestimate new competitors just because you're a so called "pioneer"
-
You forgot to mention a massive mistake Microsoft made. When they were developing Windows Phone they literally developing two versions that were incompatible with each other. Windows Phone 7 was built on Windows CE while Windows Phone 8 was built on the more advanced Windows NT. When they upgraded to Windows 8 they effectively burned their user and developer base. People who purchased a Windows Phone 7 phone will have a phone no longer supported and developers will have to redevelop their app.

I never felt so disappointed with a company. I LOVED, I mean LOVED my Lumia and I tried to hang on to it for as long as I could, hoping it would get more popular.
-
Windows powered phones failed simply because not many developers created applications for it. Unlike android which had big niche in the mobile market.
-
The Nokia Lumia series looked incredibly good. I owned one myself. The lack of developers on the software side definitely was the nail in the coffin.

Steve Jobs rebirthed apple. Steve Ballmer destroyed Microsoft
-
2007, Steve Balmer reacting to the iPhone: "that is the most expensive smartphone I've ever seen" 2018, Apple: "just hold my beer buddy"
-
It's very sad we have only 2 options now IOS or Android.
-
I loved the tiles on my lumia . Can change the color , size of tiles . Can re - arrange and the live update feature was so cool along with the dark appearance of OS Microsoft just lost it
-
This is exactly what happens when MBAs or finance people run organizations. They really can't see past the sales figures.
-
I used Lumia 640 from 2015-2019. That's 4 years. At time of 2015 l, the android phone used to hang a lot so I decided to go for Windows phone and I loved it. But the lack of apps finally compelled me to switch to android. Still misses the Windows phone a lot.
-
I am still using my Nokia Lumia. Battered up. Fallen lots. Solid. Shame the app support is shocking.

"iT dOeSn'T hAvE a KeYbOaRD" well you don't have eyebrows either.
