I read it again, very carefully, and I've concluded that it is not my reading that requires improvement. You said: "WP offers nothing at [this] time." A mobile OS that offers nothing is by definition a poor platform. That may not have been what you meant, but it is what you said.
I meant that WP itself is not a bad OS. I meant that it does not have any ecosystem to offer. Others have scales, fitbit, body composition scales, car integration, even grill thermomether. And, yes, apps.
I already gave you a incomplete list (updates would be another important issue). I'd suggest you go back and read my post :wink:
That list might not interest you, but it does interest me and many others here at WPC.
Yes, read it. And I admit that you may be right. I dont start to argue with you which one have better UI. It would be endless threat. And neither of us would be right.
I if you read my original post once more, I didnt say being waterproof is the only thing that matters in my world. I dont even have a waterproof phone. I said, that it could be a big deal for someone. And that someone takes waterproof phone. He cant take it from WPs assortment, cos there isnt one. So, everyone who wants waterproof phone is out of WPs game. And someone who wants a big choise of apps, but dont need waterproof phone... you know the rest.
And there still stands a bigger problem. You see, peoples dont buy UI or OS. They dont buy anymore phones. They buy a part of an ecosystem. And moreover they buy a possibility to ecosystem. What would you answer, if someone asks you that is there a scale, body measurement scale, is there a free spotify, or even a grill thermomether that is able to connect to this WP thing? If you say yes, you have to lie. They probably never buy a one. But they want to know that it is possible. You cant in most of the cases turn their heads just by telling abaut better UI.
When Elop came to Nokia, he told a lot of abaut ecosystem. Still there stands almost none. Even none of my gyms equipmet supports WP, most of them support iOS or Android.
No ecosystem, no nothing. And one smartwatch cant save this situation anymore.
I'd suggest we let everyone have their preferences, without claiming that any specific set of preferences make more or less sense... they don't... that is why they are preferences. Okay?
I wasnt claiming abaut bad choises. I was answering the thread why WP is lying in a standing water. And you cant deny that it is.
And of cos they dont make any sense. These are very emotional oriented things. Where ever you go peoples are arguing these same things, cars, ice-hockey, football, phones, what ever. It is just a part of a game. None of us is really right. Everyone have their own specific needs and most of us knows that very well. It is just a kind of entertaintmen for us all. We just wanna speculate with these things and want to tell our opinion and point of view. And it was just my five penny.
And I want to highlight that fact, that only thing that matters is, that everyone is liking his own phone. There is no matter is it waterproof, how big its marketshare is, how many apps there are or how good camera there is. If you like your own phone, it is right choise for you.
So, it is okay.
