bliaz Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) Windows Phone was good. I wish it would come back. We need more competition. If Huawei has survived, why not Windows Phone? Edited July 4 by bliaz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Huawei has survived, why not Windows Phone? Even though Huawei got banned by Google, they are still running Android (since it's open source) and Huawei launched their own app store which made people able to use any of the apps they want since you can install anything on Android with apk files. Windows Phone was a completely different OS with a completely different core (you can imagine it as the mobile version of a Windows PC but even more optimized) so it needed brand new apps for it. The phones got popular but rivals like Google & etc refused to release their apps at those days in fear of competition & it's usage slowly decreased as their app store never grew like iOS or Android. It was literally the most opimized mobile OS we ever got (more optimized than iOS & Android) as it was running beyond fluid even on 512mb ram phones . Even on this screenshot you can see that Instagram says "beta" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakihara Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Mom still has a Lumia laying around, she loved them a lot. I couldn't get into it because the app store had nothing but games, I remember making a Facebook shortcut for mom because the app wasn't available. I wonder if we can achieve that look on android with a custom launcher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the 820 and the 620, and I loved them. Much like it did with the Zune, Microsoft really had no idea what it had on its hands and refused to put its money where it needed to go. Imagine where we'd be had it invested more money into app developer support. Granted, its awful relationship with Google at the time also did not help matters...
