How to convince iPhone and Android users to make the switch?

[Shamshi-Adad]

I think this again comes down to whether or not MS really thinks it can gain a large market share throughout the cellphone market, or aim for a niche, at least initially. If it's the latter, it doesn't really matter if there's a million little apps that to neat little things that are of no consequence to those within the specific niche.


I'm just happy you're not resorting to hyperbole....

MS has already made it very clear that their aim is the Enterprise market and not the whole cellphone market.

True, Microsoft has publicly said this. It makes me curious about the rumors of HP producing another handset, seemingly aimed at the consumer market. I wonder about their thought process, and how much they are collaborating with Microsoft on this.

Well for me hope springs eternal - I LOVE Win10M phones. Maybe there'll be some companies that, MS permitting, will try to keep the consumer market alive and even grow it for Windows phones. But I just don't know or rather doubt that MS will contribute much to that.

What does MS have to lose? If an OEM is footing the R&D costs, design & manufacturing expenses as well as marketing, that's a win-win for Redmond.

Like I said, for me, hope springs eternal. But I'm 68 I ain't got as many years as others to wait for it. That's why I've kept service on my ICON and AIN'T gonna give up. As long as I'm alive I'm wishin' and hopin' and waitin....:winktongue:

I wish Microsoft would just buy some lesser known phone builder and slap WM10 on 4 or 5 phones of varying sizes with great hardware for $250.00 bucks or less.
Quit all this insider shenanigans it's like torture that less and less users are enjoying anymore.
Just leave the OS alone and quit fixing it...this whole deal is just insane.

Isn't it just possible to re-manufacture broken features to run on the OS instead of readjusting the OS to run all the broken apps?

That post makes pretty little sense.

About as sane as any other post on these boards. Probably too sane for some readers.

I would like the ability to upvote paragraphs. For example, in this case I want to hit the 'LIKE' button for the first paragraph, and the 'WTF' button on the one that follows.

sounds um .. unlike any prose I've recently been exposed to. Might make perfect sense after a few drinks though, gimme a minute.

Darn it, I think I overshot. Now I've had one too many drinks. :winktongue:

Anyway, it's been fun, good night all.

Hi there! I don't know squat about phones, but I do know about a couple of drinks. I'm on my second and it's not very long before my bed time.
Let me know when the next party starts. I'll try not to be late!:wink: Good night Joe!
It's good to have a little fun once in awhile!

This sounded like it was taken from an adlib

Yep...
Similar to Microsoft's ongoing ad-lib known as WM10.
