Windows phone was great, what killed it was Microsoft's clueless management.
yeah i was hype about it until MS basically big timed everyone and was like "everyone will switch when they see how good the OS is, and then people will HAVE to make apps for it"
all while charging a fee
Requiring everyone on WP7 to buy a new phone for WP8 didnt help their case
Then like what, 70% of the WP8 phones weren't compatible with WP10 yet again
great operating system, terrible roll out, horrible delusional pricing schedule
