What happened to your other hand?
well, you know
sometimes people eat a icecream... or use umbrella, carry bags, hold a water bottle

Easy, stop eating ice cream. Anyway, I either use two thumbs or hold the phone in one hand so my other index finger can touch the screen.well, you know

Are you afraid of getting wet? You should stand tall and proud while walking in the rain. Either way, you sound way to serious about this. And I do not want someone with an umbrella impacting how I use my phone.and umbrella? i drop and get wet?
pathetic argument
Security doesn't sell.

This is equally pathetic from the other side of the coin. Now we have to suppose that every able 2 handed individual will have one hand occupied at each and every moment they also want to use their smart phone?
Look: I'm all for convenience and ergonomics - but a demand that everything be within reach of the average thumb span of users on a touch screen device is not just ignoring the other hand, it also ignores all the other digits of the one hand people are insisting is all they can afford to divert from other tasks...
Would it be nice if one digit was all that was needed for operation? Sure. Should it be mandated into design? I don't think so.
To presuppose that all operation of a smart phone will occur with one digit and no effort to reposition that one hand is patently absurd.
Use a jacket with a hood. I can't remember the last time I ever used an umbrella. I don't like having a hand occupied simply for holding something over my head, when I can pull a hood over my head and go about my day hands free.
They take a hand to hold the whole time, they easily get destroyed by the moderate of winds and I can't count how many times I have been PO'd by some ***** on the sidewalk with a giant umbrella taking up most of the path with their umbrella. As I'm tall, the pointy ends of the rods holding the umbrella open are usually at my eye level and have had several umbrella wisk near my eyes or scratch me in the face.
Exactly! Until reading this phrase right here, I thought I was the only person in history to say this on WCentral. While security indeed sounds like an important bullet point, users don't care about it. Windows on PCs are just like Android in mobile; almost all of the market share with almost all of the security breaches. And by nature the largest market will be the biggest target, hence the least secure statistically.
*cough* so close to a like *cough*, but your last sentence killed it... you know why... :wink:

Sorry, I don't know why. I honestly have no clue what you're talking about. What's wrong with my last sentence? You'll have to explain it to me!
The people defending the hamburger think they are so smart with their ten paragraph responses... But the truth is what they say doesn't makes sense or is really stupid, there's lots and lots of situation when one hand is inevitable occupied... "stop eating, drinking, holding bags, holding books, holding your kids"
Are you even for real?... I really wish you are just trolling...
Hmm... maybe I'm mistaken. Sorry, I thought we once discussed this via PM. Think of it as a cost-benefit equation:
AOSP Android = very high benefit / medium cost. = 1.2
Windows Desktop = high benefit / low cost. = 1
WP = almost no benefit / very high cost. = 0.0001
Market share can compensate for a low ratio, but only to a certain degree. It's certainly not the only measure of an ecosystem's vulnerability. That Windows Desktop and Android are similarly insecure is true. However, concluding from their shared popularity that those vulnerabilities are primarily a function of market share is a classic case of correlation without causation. Once a system is compartmentalized to the degree that even a successful infection doesn't lead to much of value, the prospect of infecting half a million devices loses most of its allure.
WP is the only consumer OS (not only mobile OSes) that was designed from the ground up with security in mind. That's not a meaningless difference. Stated in plainer words:
If 1000 people are coming for you with knives, you are free to prefer the small-target cardboard box for your protection, in exchange for only having to deal with four or five assailants. In such a situation I'll gladly take the large-target tank, even if that means facing the remaining 995.
