I won't lie though, the honestly adverts for the 630 and 930 suck, no wonder people don't like the phones. Why couldn't they just use the videos Nokia makes?
I'm a tech guy, I don't hate MS. I find followers are the ones who hate MS, real tech people may not like MS but respect them.
The hate generated for Windows Phone is not because people dislike Microsoft as a company, most of us use Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows, don't we?Android held record-breaking 84.6% of the market in Q2 2014, Windows Phone drops down to 2.7%
It has dropped to 2.7 in global market share which is a bad thing however people are mocking wp in the forums. It happens in every single article. It's like they are scared or something. Just leave WP alone. It didn't do no harm to anyone. But in my opinion I actually think this is due to Microsoft creating it. There's a lot of hate towards microsoft despite the fact that they are most likely posting their comments on a windows computer, stupid right? Where do you guys think this hate comes from?
You can't blame the staff for that. For example there is a Sony Center here in Pakistan(where I live), I purchased a laptop last year, Sony makes a variety of products as you probably already know.I blame the staff selling phones in the shop. 99.9% they either have an android or an iphone and as they know about that they persuade customers to buy them. Plus in England there are loads of ads promoting products and saying "download it now on iphone or android" a lot of people are not actually aware of windows phone. And also Microsoft doesn't do good adverts in England. All they do is some tart holds the phone and talks about it...THATS IT !!! iphone actually shows you what the phone can do with apps and people go "wow" Microsoft really needs to show the world what the phone is actually capable of doing

The reason is that Windows Phones only appeal to those on a budget looking for a decent device but barely anyone is willing to pay for the high-end Lumia devices because Windows Phone has not reached the same level of polish that Android and iOS have.
Oh and the lacks of apps, and lack of quality apps and lack of frequent app updates and apps with less functionality than Android/iOS counterparts is also why people do not like Windows Phone.
Apps is one of the more prominent reasons.
You can't blame the staff for that. For example there is a Sony Center here in Pakistan(where I live), I purchased a laptop last year, Sony makes a variety of products as you probably already know.
There was a computer at the reception where customers would provide feedback about the quality of the shop and helpfulness of the employees, and guess what? The computer was made by Dell because it was cheap!
Similarly the employees in the shop should all have been running around with Xperia Z, right? No. They can't often afford the best devices as working in retail doesn't pay all that well and many of then had flip phones and stuff.
The people in Microsoft stores probably own a cheap or mid-range Android/iOS device and they are trying to convince wealthier people to buy a high end Windows Phone but read my explanation up there as to why people are still not willing to purchase Windows Phone.
As far as features go, sadly Windows Phone doesn't have a whole lot of features you can brag about. Many of Microsoft's own services have better versions on Android and iOS compared to Windows Phone.
For example Outlook.com and Skype have much more functionality on Android despite being Microsoft's own services, Outlook.com also looks a hell lot more beautiful on Android.
Then there is Microsoft Word, which also looks better and has more functionality on Android/iOS.
OneDrive only recently caught up with the Android and iOS counterparts.
So you could blame Microsoft for not taking an interest in their own platform.
Cortana is a pretty nice feature of Windows Phone but Microsoft is considering porting it to Android/iOS and if that happens, there is no logical reason to get Windows Phone at all.

actually when that new iPhone comes out ........nobody's selling phones except apple! So for WP that's not going to be good!The 2.7 figure is just for Q2. I anticipate a turnaround for Q3 with the release of 8.1 and a few new models. Let's face it, there haven't been any significant model releases for a while.
Why do care so much of what the haters got to say?
Best camera? That is subject to discussion.rooms, cortana, wordflow keyboard, wifi sense, Saving apps to sd(all sd card supported windows phone can support 128gb), live tiles, pinning tile shortcuts, pinning contacts, best camera, lens feature, camera apps, inbuilt wireless charging, speed and smoothness, most secure OS(after blackberry due to VPN support. should be fixed in update 1) Offline Maps, Here maps, Local scout, mixradio, Xbox live games, achievements higher your xbox gamerscore, xbox live app, upgrade call to skype. share feature.I know more exclusive features in my products than microsoft lol.
Wrong, the android OEMs will still outsell Apple by a large margin, but it might be a slightly different story at the higher end of the market. At the moment it is quite obvious that the android market will begin to move into state with shrinking margins in a race to the bottom similar to the PC market. Samsung can hardly do anything about it, the Chinese OEMs will force down the prices for good enough smart phones and as the average consumer no longer needs the most expensive smartphone, the margins will suffer and sooner or later approach break even.actually when that new iPhone comes out ........nobody's selling phones except apple! So for WP that's not going to be good!
LOL, Tech journalist/costumers hating is not the main cause of WP poor sales.The more the haters.....the more hate......the less dev support....the less users....the less market share......shall I go on?
Many bloggers don't like the phrase "free enterprise". So they spend their days conspiring to talk down this free enterprise as much and as often as they can.LOL, Tech journalist/costumers hating is not the main cause of WP poor sales.
I really don't think there are many people actively hating Microsoft or Windows Phone. The average, non-enthusiast smartphone buyer doesn't actively follow most of this. They buy what their kids/parents/friends/that one "nerdy" friend/etc recommends. The biggest problem is that a lot of people just aren't well aware of Windows Phone.
