Having superior hardware alone does not win a platform war, Nintendo proved it, Sony proved it and now Apple and Google proved it. If you failed to entice third-parties to develop software and hardware for your system platform then you will simply fail, meanwhile the very same developers will move on to other more lucrative competing platforms.

People who purchased a Windows Phone 7 phone will have a phone no longer supported and developers will have to redevelop their app.

The problem wasn't underestimating the competitors as much as the ability for tech to improve. At the time, iPhone had a large chance of being a failure. While the first few generations would have had amazing sales, if Apple didn't eventually get to the point where the camera, web browser and media player were "good enough" for a not too expensive price... But in 2010, Apple did just that. The iPhone 4 reached the level where they were able to be a good enough phone, good enough camera, good enough browser, and good enough app experience. The tech that was ahead of it's time (meaning tech that existed but couldn't be fully utilized because of the limitations of other necessary tech) finally could shine, because the other tech caught up.

First of all, I am not an Apple fan. IMO, the similarity between Cook and Balmer is they both are non-technical people, both are from the business-administration background. But the difference is Balmer pretends and even showing off he knew the technical matter (and drive engineering to follow him) but Cook did not. You can see in WWDC since Cook took over, he only opened it and let others presented. But also IMO some product under Cook completely f***ed user experiences, for instance: MacBook PRO without proper useable USB-A connectors (whom PROfessionals were still using). Well, they were very loose in interpreting the word "PRO" in their product.

Converting apps was near impossible. The MS appstore had all the restrictions of Apple's AppStore with no benefits. Same for apps designed for Nokia's systems (Symbian and Maemo). Microsoft's last ditch "fix" was a system for porting Windows Phone apps to Android and iPhone, not the other way around. They also kept artificially preventing ports of apps from other Windows systems.

No sideloading, no access to app files (like when an app was storing data like images or whatever, it stored them within it's own private section of storage invisible to everything but itself. Probably a matter of coding, but still), not enough customization options... It's all fine for a "average consumer" but for a more experience tech user it was very limiting.

Well I hated the Windows phone for one reason -- it was very hard to use/ setup. In typical MS fashion there wasn't, for example, one place to turn off mobile data. No, there was about four different, buried locations to seek out before that could be done! Also, the huge pulsing tiles did my head in too. But imho what really killed the MS phone was MS trying to copy iphone instead of leading innovating themselves. Well that and the fact that MS have a lot of hubris -- they could have copied Google phone (and played the market share game that way; like they did with Windows vs Mac OS) but hey MS thinks that they are market leaders and have to jump right in there!

Microsoft were never really that greedy, or they were no more greedy than either Google or Apple but where Microsoft messed up is they were simply just late to that party. They could have easily been where Google is right now and just made contracts with various hardware manufacturers at a good rate but by the time it came up to the plate, it was too late. The cost of developing the hardware for mobile had tripled in the short space of time between 2008 and 2011. Many hardware manufacturers had established markets that used google OS, asking they to change would be asking them to restart their markets. I mean if Samsung s30 or whatever it is comes out with a new OS and ditch Android, Samsung's stock would nose dive into the abyss. So by the time Microsoft came to the party, the drinks were too expensive and all the girls were taken, there was the ex beauty queen who's lived that life a bit and she's had her time (Nokia)... but it was the best Microsoft could get, or rather by that point, the ex beauty queen was the ONLY girl left for Microsoft to partner up with.

Steve Ballmer was actually correct when he said that the iPhone wouldn't appeal to business users. Thing is, they weren't the users that mattered in the end, and this is where Microsoft failed. Turns out you can be spectacularly wrong about something while actually being factually right about it. Because they were so focused on business users, Microsoft went from blunder to blunder trying to make a product that should have been aimed to the home consumer market. Microsoft couldn't decide if Windows Phone was for the home user or the business user, and kept twisting and turning between them, never really getting anywhere with either market. And the coup de grace was when it was finally starting to take of in Europe, Microsoft chose to only launch new features in the US, some of which were never actually made it to the markets where it was being used, clearly telling any prospective european buyer that Microsoft didn't really care about them. And if they didn't care about us, why should we care about them?

He came into a developed market of people who were already quite happy with their choice of phones/OS. He had no apps. He literally had nothing NEW to offer either iPhone or Android users. If you want to break into a market that is already saturated you need to offer something to make you stand out as something new. Something the competition can't do. And they didn't.

It was Great in design. And really a nice fresh UI. Stock android 6 is still nice. Than android 7 came. Worthless just a little bit more security so you can't root. BUT the ui did got a huge boost in speed. Oreo came. This is now the best UI for a mobile device ever made. 9 is now coming and a friend of me has a a2. I used it and I have to be honest. It sucks. It's really heavy vs Oreo. Altough the design is great. It's heavy. And Huawei should stop with their UI. Same for Mi.. They aren't beautiful at all.

There are two big issues that plagued Windows Phone. The first one is that Microsoft was too focused on serving its corporate customers, whereas smartphones had clearly moved to a consumer-driver market. For years, the screenshots of Windows Phone devices featured Calendar, Exchange and Email. Microsoft understood the new form factor, but not the usage. The second issue is that the operating systems market generally bears two OS for each platform, leaving crumbs for the rest. Windows and macOS for desktops/laptops, Linux and Windows for PC servers... Android and iOS for smartphones. Once Android had enough market share it became virtually impossible to break the duopoly.

As a Mac user (not an Apple fan per se) I felt Windows Phone OS was more intuitive and elegant than iOS. Up to two years ago I never owned an iPhone because of the Lumia phones. Excellent photo apps and some great music players. But the achilles heel was the browsing experience, it had slow page rendering on all the browsers you could download for the phone, even Opera. And the app store was limited of course. Still miss my Lumia every once and a while.

I think by the time Microsoft unveiled the Windows Phone, they also had an issue with how consumers were viewing their company. People would still buy PCs with the Windows OS because its an ecosystem they’re used to and the only easy to adopt competitor, Apple, has a high price of entry. However, when consumers were given an option of products on a relatively even playing field, they wanted to stay away from Microsoft in part due to their negative opinion of them. That’s my theory at least.

had a lumia 925 between 2014 and 2016 (when i got my very first android: a moto z play which i still use). Loved the windows phone tiles and a few puzze games that i had in it. And the camera was pretty neat too, except for video recording. In november 2016 i was seriously considering about getting that nokia's new flagship one: lumia 930, but decided to wait for the very powerfull lumia 950, with windows 10 mobile, which never made it here in brazil (only by exporting but that was more costly than buying it officially). Then, i heard about those motorola smartphones (they were getting pretty popular here) and made the decision to buy the very mid-range flagship of 2016: the moto z play. Best decision ever! I'm almost three years with it and only now i'm switching to the powerful galaxy note 9. It was such a pitty that the windows phone had failed. It would be very refreshing having a third option beside android and ios phones. There is Huawei now, who was sort of forced to make their own os, but i bet it will be one based on the open source android, which isn't the same thing. I hope if microsoft wouldn't dare to make a comeback in the mobile segment...it would be very surprisingly...

"Is there a toaster that also knows how to brew coffee? There is no such combined device, because it would not make anything better." It's insane how dumb this statement is for a CEO of a multi billion dollar business, and that's not just with the benefit of hinesight. Just because having a multi-functional device is impractical in one scenario, doesn't mean it's impractical in every scenario. Yes I would like to have my music collection and my phone on one device with a big screen and a good Internet browser, because I don't want to carry around more than one device, thank you. I think the Blackberry guy was on to something, I'm surprised that style of phone disappeared, they should've made their phones out of gold and silver and sell them as a premium brand like Rolex. If there was a (good) phone like that today I'd probably buy one cause they're so cool to me and I hate touchscreen keyboards.

I think Windows Phone , the concept itself had so much potential . But only Microsoft executed very poorly & should be blamed for . Sadly Nokia died without seeing it coming as they did their best in durability , processor ( early snapdragons) , camera & cool design with Lumia Series , but Appstore-Software this is where they failed , for which Microsoft has to be blamed . Otherwise we would have witnessed an Era of Pocket PC .

interesting facts. A polished version of symbian could have nailed it for Nokia without even venturing into Windows ecosystem. But Nokia simply wasn't following the trend of the industry especially comparing the touch screen Nokia symbian phones with iOS or Android. Naturally app developers switched to iOS and Android and that's why those two platforms remain successful today.

Lumia's sales were growing until the last generation before the 950 and 950xl, because they were doing great phones. After that they got rid of the Nokia logo, released windows 10 mobile way too early and was buggy, and to top all the two new devices were supposed to be flagship, costed a lot but had bad and cheap design (can't understand why, since the previous generation was absolutely amazing for the time), so people for that kind of money wanted premium looking stuff. Up until that point Lumia were also by far the best camera phone on the market, but those three mistakes in my opinion definitely killed windows phone. Sad I really liked it
