    I actually liked the Windows phone that I had for a short while. It just didn’t have the app support.

      For some apps, quite intentional. I remember some app makers hating Microsoft so much that they’d refuse and also block API access when MS made their own versions of apps for their users.

        YouTube was a big one for this. The Windows phone app worked better than its Android and iPhone counterparts and Google blocked API access.

      The UI is very simple and the performance on the phones using it was very good compared to the contemporary Android phones.

      I am still upset that iPhone and Android have not even come close to matching the simplicity of Windows Phone. I feel like I had to take a huge step backwards when my Windows Phone died.

        about the same. My current phone back then had a few good years in it still, and I wanted my next one to be a Windows phone. And then they were gone.

      Same boat, loved my Windows phone. I didn’t even use apps very much back then, but when it came time for an upgrade, it was gone.
