Also take into cconsiderationthat Verizon 's boss hates Windows Phones
Something must have happened in the past between MS and Verizon that led to this.

Well, Joe Belfiore gave a really good reply to all trolls who refuse to mind their own business. Screen shot below.

The Ford plant nearest to me was shut down. Not even Ford owners park there anymore.Not in the parking lot close to the entrance, non Fords park across the street.
I'd call this reply arrogant rather than good.
Never liked that guy anyway...
I'd kind of like to call you out on that. full disclaimer, I'm am MS Store employee. I have a Microsoft Lumia 640XL, before that a 640, before that, a Blue Win HD (the original, not the revised LTE model ) before that a 635, before that a 925, before that an 8X, and before that a 900, which I owned BEFORE BECOMING an MS Store employee in the first place (worked as a tech at staples before). This should more than prove I am adamantly opposed to owning anything other than a winphone as my primary phone, ever. I love the phone, I love the platform, period. I also own an Xbox One which was the first and only Xbox I've ever owned, and an Acer Switch 11 running windows 10, and when you say we have a weak ecosystem, I feel like asking you what you're smoking. When I set an alarm, it synchronizes across all my devices. I check same 6 news/auto/tech blogs every day, and the history and articles are on my phone through Edge, and on the computer, and now on the Xbox. When I get a friend invite, I see it on my phone, my xbox, and my PC. My Work goes with me wherever I am, which is now accessible on all those 3 devices. Part of the reason I went from being a die-hard sony guy who bought their stuff ON RELEASE DAY to XBOX One was because it utterly destroys a PS4 as an gaming and entertainment system. When I wake up, I don't reach for a remote, I speak, the damn thing turns on, I see my news, I check my messages, I watch a show or two and I'm off to start my day, again, telling it to turn off, I also work out using it as well. Now with windows 10, if I'm on my PC, like...right now, and I get a Xbox message, I can see it and respond here. When the girlfriend wants to Netflix and I want to play xbox, I switch the TV over to a Roku stick I own, and remote to my Xbox from my PC, and game on. If there's something on here I want to watch on the xbox, but there isn't an app to do it, well, I simply cast it from my PC (like say...the presidential debates), to my Xbox, problem solved, so it utterly destroyed anything like an apple TV. I promise you I'm not unique, I've worked at 5 of our stores, yes some of use different devices that are non-MS, but this idea that "we don't know anything" about our products is ridiculous. We get asked ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about our products, and often we get people who just want to challenge and almost "quiz" us on things it isn't necessary to know but expect us to because if we can't answer that question, we don't know about our products "how many physical cores is in the processor of the Surface Book, what is the exact GPU, what range can I get from the antenna?" (btw, 2 core physical, 4 logical though hyperthreading, It doesn't have an official, because it's custom, however benchmarks slot it between a 940m and a 960 gtx, 802.11ac depending on the access points and signal strength, 100-200ft)
Well, I think that its you who don't get it. What is wrong in employees having a different device? I have seen employees of Apple stores having android phones and employees of Samsung stores having iPhones. Does that mean anything?
Nope. Absolutely nothing.
Lol. I believe ATT might have staff who do not know about Microsoft products, but not Microsoft.
If you went to buy a Toyota would you accept the sales rep saying I only drive Mazda??

I've worked at 5 stores, Bethesda (holiday kiosk), King of Prussia (Specialty Store), Tyson's Corner, Pentagon City, Lennox Square Mall in Atlanta, and Now the Full line at Bethesda, MD. Now I am not the 1-UNO out of hundreds that use a WP as it's daily driver. Yes there are some who prefer iOS or Android as their phone, MANY simply used it because they are on carrier where the phone they want isn't offered. Now, despite experience, I digress you could find an employee that maybe doesn't care. Or one that that is new and isn't fully trained, but they are far outnumbered by employees that do and are trained, and I'll gladly stick my neck out and argue that point to death. Also, the point YOU are trying to argue, can be point INVERSELY. You had ONE rep who you didn't know the answer to his question, therefore made a blanket statement to the reps as a whole, thus garnering my response.
