"They might as well stop caring about the carriers at all and sell everything online at microsoftstore.com or amazon.com. I'm not sure there would be much difference in sales numbers. "
This is what I would like to see. Make phones that people WANT, sell them in your own stores (order what you need for said carrier GSM/CDMA), and cut the carriers out of the phone subsidy completely. BYOD to each carrier and simply buy their service. I would 100% support a plan like this.
Then you also 100% support the cancelling of Windows Phone 100% support it being scrapped. That is the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard. Almost everyone buys phones from carrier stores. To cut out carriers is to cut out Windows Phone's only chance of succeeding.
