Quite simple, what are primary functions of a modern smartphone? It needs to of course make phone calls and send text messages CHECK. It needs to be able to browse the internet in an intuitive manner CHECK. It needs to be able to stay connected with email and social network happenings (Facebook,Twitter LinkedIn, Instagram etc). CHECK. It needs to be able to take a picture or record video when something cool or memorable happens suddenly and I wanna capture the moment. CHECK. It needs to serve as an Mp3 player for my music collection CHECK?(sort of Xbox Music). It needs to help me when I'm lost and serve as a GPS map CHECK.
About half of these CHECKS WP doesn't do all that well. Stay connected? Notification issues & low quality gimped apps. Take a picture when something happens suddenly? Slow camera, although if you do capture it the picture is first rate. Mp3 player? I don't use a phone for that, but I've read the posts about Xbox Music in WP8.1.
For the most part iPhones & Androids perform better in at least these 3 areas. Microsoft needs to improve them before using them in sales pitches.
