With rumors that q4 flagship was cancelled, discontinuation of Icon, and lack of consistency across carriers, Microsoft again appears caught in an awkward transition period in the 6+ month leadup to Windows 10.
Given the new CEOs focus on cloud and mobile, how did this occur yet again? This is similar to the void between WP7.5 and WP8. I don't understand how a company of Microsofts size can't avoid repeated PR disasters like this.... Even if MS markets the product they have very little to sell.
While it is partially the carriers fault, Microsofts inability to manage a product portfolio with US carriers demonstrates their role in this awkward period.
