As sad as it sounds, the more I use Android and Windows phones, the more I start to see why people flock to Apple. Well one reason they flock is because they are sheep?they follow. But the reason why some people stick with it is because it is the ultimate extension of you minus the social integration that WP is implementing, but still failing at in some respects. Although apple might not have the biggest screens, it is still a good ?helper? phone through voice commands and communication support. Tons of accessories for it, easily the best hands free device (don?t know about the Bluetooth car thing that the WP does) and there are more business functions for it, like exchange mail clients and VPN. Microsoft could be a giant in the cellphone industry, but they lack conviction it would seem. They lack the speed of progress. And they show up to the parties a day late and a dollar short.
I post this because I have a few friends and families that all own some iteration of iphone. They see my windows phones and are intrigued by it and ask me tons of questions for it. The main concerns I hear are:
1.) Awww too bad, it doesn't have a few apps I use daily
2.) Damn that's a big phone! Why can't they make a smaller phone with similar specs (I own a 920 and an 8x, still on the fence about which I will keep)
3.) Can I use Exchange on it? (A couple family members double their phone as a business phone)
Those are THEIR main concerns and if WP had those, they may have been converted, but I have a few concerns of my own that I feel if Microsoft would have improved on upon release of the phone then they could sell more units. I'm not going to go over those because I have a few times already even though I'm sure people have made similar threads like this as well.
Has anyone written to Microsoft and gotten through to someone that really gives a damn? I've seen some of you write to Nokia and have made it really far up their chain of command to get support. I've tried to write the top heads of HTC, but I'm sure my e-mail sits in a box being untouched. I got a respond from a lacky support agent, blah. But has anyone tried Microsoft? Have you gotten an informative response? I'm not sure MSFT is hearing the gripes enough or I'm not even sure if they are looking outside of their bubble. People on the upper echelons of the businesses infrastructures tend to lose touch with what people really want and more or less give people what they think we want.
