I feel like a prerequisite for owning a windows phone is to have patience.
I still use Windows Phone 7.8 and as long as 8.1 is incomplete, I might as well wait until 9.

Since most Americans demand immediate gratification and don't know the meaning of the word patience that is another strike against Windows Phone. Most people aren't willing to wait for the Icon to come to ATT, TMo or Sprint so they're buying the latest GS5, HTC M8, or waiting for the iPhone 6(I think patience in the Apple World is different since their release cycle is pretty fixed)>
UK. You might wanna apologize for insulting me now
Now where did I put that extra popcorn I bought!!!!
I don't think ' the one with the most apps' wins, because you need quality. A lot of Android apps are drop ins for system apps like keyboards and home launches.
Possibly.
I don't know the reasoning behind it, whatever it is, but my argument or premise, I think, still stands: if the hubs are going away, and you need to launch an 'app' for most functionality, like on iOS or Android, what's Windows Phone's differentiating factor?
If the tiles are all that are left, and half the time most are static tiles, like glorified widgets, it's in trouble. IMO at least.
Once Apple comes out with a legitimate 5 inch phone we won't need to have this discussion, because there will be no need for a WP device. If Microsoft develops anything worthwhile for WP believe me they'll make it better for the IPhone.
I think you need to add the phrase "which sells for the price of the Lumia 520" after "legitimate 5 inch phone".
In America you don't have to worry about the price because nobody is buying that 520.

That doesn't have to be the case. Tiles, particularly large one, make it possible to convey lots of status information quickly. The Start screen is a dashboard, not just an app launcher. The Action Center provides a recent history of changes, but it isn't a dashboard, unless it's being misused by developers.Action Center -
Cons : Defeats the purpose of live tiles. Sure notifications came late & the tiles updated every 30 mins or so...but now they only serve as dead icons now.
