I agree with a lot of you. I believe Windows Phone 8.1 has really narrowed, and if not closed the gap between itself iOS, ad Android. I think the only real problem Microsoft is facing here in the US is carrier exclusivity. If you look at the iPhone it is available on all US carriers both the iPhone 5s and 5c. A lot of the Flagship Android are again, available on all carries, but when it comes to Windows Phone sadly the only way to get the device you want that isn't available for your carrier is to buy a full unlock device. Many consumer in the US don't both or don't want to buy a phone full price to use on their carrier. Its cheaper for them to use the next best thing to them that's open them and sadly its a iPhone or Android device that they see. I think that if all Windows Phone devices where available across the spectrum, we would see a huge jump in adoption rate which in turn, would lead to some serious competition between the big 3 OS here in the sates.
