  • I’m stunned with how bad it was and why they hell they didn’t use the same strategy that made Windows popular… The apps.

    My work back then gave me a Windows Phone. Very few of the apps I had on my Android phone was available for my work phone.

    On top of that a lot of things simply didn’t work. One thing I still remember was that Alarm volume and Ring tone volume could not be adjusted individually.

    The whole thing felt like they wanted to reinvent the wheel and started from absolute scratch without learning from the innovation in the past decade of mobile phones.

    It’s sad, a third competitor in the smartphone space wouldn’t have been a bad thing.




  • It seems like they are going out of their way to remove good features. Like they removed the option to right click the taskbar and open task manager. They since added it back, but only because of user demand.

    They have removed quick access to disabling the network, seeing and changing ip settings.

    I can’t remember all the annoying issues, but there’s a lot.

    I hate that it has become a general thing to ruin user experience and possibilities of customization. Google is doing the same with android.





  • Hell, I would even have accepted a subscription to be able to use Boost; and I hate subscription based services.

    They had opportunity to earn a lot of money and not alienate their users. With profit from 3party apps and companies using reddit for AI data. With realistic pricing.

    But Spez (Fuck u), acted like a spoiled vendictive little brat and burned everything down, because of his fragile ego.

    Just take a look at the mail and phone conversation, and subsequent lies about what was said; between Spez and the Apollo developer. To see I’m not making this up.
