I hated Windows phone, I'm glad it's dead. Horrid Windows 8 looking UI with uneccesary bloatware infesting your homescreen. After trashing all the bloatware, you could find 0 apps you want to use in Windows' tiny tiny app store.
Never had a Windows Phone myself, nor would I have taken one, so can't speak from daily driver experience. But from what I saw from my ex and my dad having WP work phones that I had to help them with.. My god those were terrible menu hells if you had to change anything. Even worse than Nokia's Symbian.
Also never forgiven Microsoft for their mole killing Nokia by going all in on Windows Phone.
This is why I hate it. They killed the awesome meego for this crap. Fuck em.
Windows 8's UI was fire tho, save the shouting
ugh absolutely correct take. i wish some of the edge of screen touch gestures were preserved into 10 and 11, those were on par with ios even today
