iPhone has a Home it has the applications to make the general public accept it
Blackberry still has a Home with its world class enterprise features for businesses
Android has a Home which is the majority of low-end handsets
Did WP 7.5 have a home?
- It doesn't have the applications and games to satisfy everybody
- It doesn't have world class enterprise features for businesses to adopt it
- It has low end but most low end carriers don't even support it
To me that's why WP7.5 did not have a breakthrough when it came to sales. Customer reviews have been off the charts, developer support has been excellent but for the general public it doesn't give you a legit reason to buy into the platform.
A lot of people that moved to 7.5 moved because they wanted to try something new or a savy WP user convinced them to buy it. Its a great phone but there isn't that one legit reason for you to buy it over other ecosystems. Maybe price but like I said its not on every carrier.
Windows Phone 8 will change that.
For the general audience the attention will backbone off Windows 8 and Xbox's success if marketed correctly. I still don't expect crazy sales right away but I expect good sales.
WP7.5 did not have a HOME but Windows Phone 8 has a HOME matter of fact it has 3 HOMES what I mean by HOMES is a market that it can be very strong in.
With world class enterprise support Windows Phone 8 will probably be the go-to platform for businesses especially businesses that use MS products from the backend (Active Directory) to the front end (Windows PC)
With Direct X it has a home in entertaining and gaming. I don't think its going to pop off right away but with strong support like Gears Of War on your phone and other PC ports it can be a big HIT in the gaming community especially catering current Xbox gamers and hard-core PC gamers.
With Nokia and Microsoft's focus on low-end you will see more low-end pay-as-you-go Windows 8 and WP7.8 phones on other carriers. If you look at AT&T and T-Mobile sales have been good now if you take that formula and apply it to US Cellular and Verizon you can expect WP's in the top 5 when it comes to sales. Especially if Nokia gets their Lumia's as Pay-As-You-GO phones in Wallmart I can see WP having a bigger impact when it comes to low-end.
Its Sunday I felt like writing something but I wanted to prove a point people say "Oh Windows Phone 8 is going to FLOP like 7" its a totally different ball game now. If you ever need to hype up the platform focus on
1. Enterprise support with VoIP integration and better mapping
2. Games with Direct X
3. Price!
And I am sure you can convince a lot of people to try and move to the WP8 platform
Do you guys agree or disagree will the 3 main selling points be enough to make Windows Phone 8 a huge it drop down your thoughts.
