What if Microsoft's Surface Phone is like Google's Nexus?

The quiet/sneaky offensive that microsoft is going to win marketshare with is betting on people buying a brand new iphone/android, and not being able to wait to get home and install microsofts offerings for a keyboard, cloud storage and office ? Before they even put a case on it, they're going to be jonesing to install the latest version of office and bang out some spreadsheets ? and a keyboard ? and a cloud login ?

And don't forget Cortana I really think those things should be exclusively for WP, not everyone else.

Look on the brightside, Windows Phone still has over FIVE times the market share of Blackberry :wink:

LOL that is NOT a very bright side!

The problem is most ordinary people I know don't use office and they hardly use email and if they do, they're most likely going to use the default email used to setup Android or iOS, and as for OneDrive, again if it requires setup they'll go with the default. We often forget, that as 'techies' what's best is not obvious to them, they'll go with the flow.

yes, this was exactly my point. i don't imagine "office 365 on your phone!" is what is getting lines of people around the block.
