8.

Allow apps to hide messages, pics, and videos and allow sideloading and I'd give it a 10

8. I don't think this forum is a very good place to get a good image of what people think of Windows Phone, though. :p

I don't know what to compare it to. What is a 10, what is a 5. What would an iPhone, or android be?

9/10. There are few things that I can't do that I want to, most of which are just a result of missing apps. That'll be fixed in time as the market for WP grows.

7/10. So many improvements that can be made. Also, still many apps that I use on other platforms aren't here yet. I know new features will come, one of these days!

I gave it a 7/10. I love WP!! It's just that the no orientation lock thing really gets on my nerves! When I lie down on my bed and want to use it, I have to fight with the landscape to portrait mode a lot and it really annoys me. Plus I hate xbox music (hate might be a strong word, I just wish it would improve) as well but other than that its freaking awesome.

7. I love the interface and I think WP has amazing potential. There's a lot of small problems that I think are holding it back though. I see many people complaining about no orientation lock, separate system/media volume controls, etc. Nothing you guys haven't seen before. A biggie for me is the Facebook chat integration with the messaging hub. It only briefly worked for me today, but ever since I had my HTC Trophy and even on my Lumia 928, it hasn't worked right. I tried disabling secure browsing and that worked for a while until I logged into touch.facebook.com from IE on my phone. Then the messages stopped working again. I see people having a lot of trouble with this too.

I love the idea of it being integrated like that, but it needs to be fixed and it should have the normal capabilities of Facebook chat (like sending pictures).

All these tiny problems add up to a big one. Windows Phone does many things right and does very few things wrong, but there's usually some odd feature missing or a weird bug with everything it does right or tries to.

Gave a 7. I think WP is good for the average smartphone user and most would probably give it a 10. Anyone wanting to do a little more and wanting some features that are currently on other platforms will find WP rather limiting and sometimes annoying.

Like everyone else I hope to see these things corrected cause I don't want to leave WP but being honest I'm not going to wait 'years' to get them while they exist elsewhere already.

It's a 5 now, but has potential to be an 8 or 9. Android is probably at about a 7 and iOS is probably an 8.

I'll give this a 6 but if the lack of app support is fix and the notification centre comes, I'll give a 8.5.
IOS 7.5
Android 8

All the phones need to be on all the carriers, like Apple and Android, then I'll give it a 10. Instead I a gave it a 7.
