They also have to fix it.
There are people who think my phone's (920) is pretty darn cool, have they seen it otherwise? nope. ads? nope. (ok, well they heard of the insane camera phone)
That's also true. But public perception also lives a lot from word-of-mouth. And the truth is, even Windows Phone fans can't really REALLY recommend the platform to their friends when those 3 things aren't addressed.
I never ever recommend WP to anyone who, for example, uses a lot of apps. Because the apps either don't exist on WP or when they do, they are sub-par experiences.
I think once those 3 things are fixed, public perception will be better also, thanks to the word-of-mouth of WP users.
