Sure it's helpful. If I can prevent someone else from making the same mistake I did, if I can save them the anguish of having to deal with a product that doesn't work as advertised then I'll feel like I've contributed. If I can prevent them from wasting $550 or more, all the better.
Thus far I've had four Windows Phones starting with a Samsung Focus. I've been a satisfied customer all this time, but the 950 with WM10 is completely unreliable in my experience. I simply cannot trust this device to perform the most basic tasks; I have my doubts that the alarm will sound on time or if I can even make a phone call.
It's 2015, why does this device chew through data? Why does it randomly restart? Why does it get hot for no reason? Why does the speaker hiss and pop? As a customer I shouldn't have to put up with this crap. Everyone seems to forget, this device is available to REAL CUSTOMERS, not just enthusiasts. Regular people won't -- nor should they -- have to deal with basic functionality issues. As an average Joe I don't give a dang whether the operating system is new or not; that's no excuse. Does it work properly, easily, smoothly? That's what I care about.
To the OP's question, why shouldn't we -- the Windows Phone fans -- expect a product that competes favorably with iOS and Android? Microsoft has been building Windows Phones for FIVE YEARS; they've had ample time to get it right, yet, for some reason, can't.
Honestly, you sound like a petulant child; stomping your feet and crying to get attention. From what I can see you haven't done a damn thing about rectifying the issue . You can't even grasp the subject of this thread and unintentionally provide us with a prime example of the problem being discussed here.
If a product doesn't work for someone, they can return it. Most people who can afford a $600 phone are adults who can make their own decisions and don't need you SJW'ing for them. Why haven't you returned it if it's such a big deal to you?
You should see your logic from an outsiders perspective. You've had a 75% success rate with Windows phone and because you have 1 bad experience (which is fixed by updates) you're ready to trash everything and stomp around yelling at everyone and posturing like your problems are the only possible experience people can have.
This is the definition of the entitled, selfish, impatience being discussed. If you had issues with it and didn't like it, return the product and get something else.
So congratulations on being an example of the impatience and whining that this topic is discussing.
For the record, I agree that it should just work for consumers. The way you present yourself is childish, immature and will be immediately dismissed by most.
