After "retina" marketing, every brand took a big step, after macbook air, again, after ipad again, after removing floppy disk and now cd rom, again, after adopting usb into computers, again. After the all in one idea, again. After mouse or multi gestures, again. And so on, and apple pay will begin to be a step too

          They are still thinking customers are fool they still want to force tile based UI and Crab Bing search button at the bottom which confuses user.. I can bet windows phone will never gain market till tile and Bing search dedicated button remains in it even if windows 20 launches.

            Windows is the best OS for everything, phones, pc, tablets, laptops.
            Everything else just falls short compared to windows.
            WP is superior to android or iOS, people are just afraid to see that. If you try WP you will see and experience why it is so good.

              "So after Symbian take place in 2002, iOS came. Now after Wi-Fi Direct and Android Beam now the sharing between iOS8 and Yosemite came."

              Apple is good a repackaging someone else's ideas and marketing them so that gullible uneducated consumers believe they are the ones "innovating".

              There was a time when Apple genuinely was pushing the boundaries of technology and innovating left and right. For quite a while now that we clearly aren't in those times.

                Wow. This looks exactly as horrible and inconsistent as the desktop version. What is Microsoft thinking, this is just so much uglier than 8.1, on both phones and Desktops. Also when your biggest achievment of the new OS release for which you even skiped an entire number(9) is "slightly better settings and toggles screens" than you really know this is cr@p, twice so when the OS was already 3 years behind the competition. It has Windows mobile written all over it. Probably the last release of this OS that nobody really ever cared about.

                    So after iOS take place in 2007, Android came. Now after the sharing between iOS8 and Yosemite now Windows 10 came.

                    The true changes in people life since 80' only Apple make it. The rest only came and improve the ideas and take them some times in the realm of ridiculous (see 500ppi on a 5"-6" mobile phone) and in desktops still 1080p in 19" to over 32" (except the 5k iMac) and so on

                      People aren't robots. REAL customisation is why the ironically named Android OS caters to peoples' individuality.
                      Android allows us to be treated the last like Androids!! ;)

                            Meh not keen on Windows Mobile yeah it's smooth and simple but so locked down like IOS so have stuck with Android tried to like the Windows phone had it for a month but meh. Couldn't even chance wireless settings some times i like to disable 4G or even 3G to drop down to 2G to save battery life (doubles infact) but Windows phone and IOS just doesn't allow you to do that simple thing.

                              That's the whole point you (and Microsoft) have just missed.
                              You just have to love the tiles to buy a WP, if you don't Microsoft is just forcing you to go somewhere else (and that is just plain dumb looking at how behind they are market share).

                                Can't wait to see how unified apps will turn out.

                                At least MS didn't preload Windows 10 phone with Android emulator (lol), you have to give MS credit for that! :D

                                      Let us be honest. Its easy to make a comments board about windows swing back to the pros and cons of samsung and apple but all companies, software packages and app stores offer great products. They all cater for different needs. They all work perfectly well as smartphones for daily use. You could argue about gimmicks, new features and build quality all your life but arguing over this is pointless. Design is subjective. Its all about finding a phone that meets your indivual needs. the subjective nature of design means your bickering serves no-one.

                                      have a nice day.
