From everything I heard, Windows phones we’re pretty great; just no one was buying them.

BB10 was, too. Magic Eraser has nothing on what BB10 did, almost ten years ago, but we live in an app-driven world.

so the same thing that msoft used for Windows worked against them in the mobile phone wars

who had all the software? apple and android

if they dont have the apps at the time they were not pretty great. 'pretty great'? at what? like it was great because it worked? because it ran office? at the time to be great, it needed what people wanted. the latest apps, great camera, new models every year

​

my 2 cents. i love options for consumers so we are just talking about the post-mortem but competition is great
