        "Do you know that the fastest growing smartphone ecosystem is windows phone in terms of market share or functionality." This is because it's way behind in terms of features and is playing catchup and with a market share of just over 3%, if it didn't increase it's be dropped lol.

        "I will not prefer lagdroid to no one as playstore is full of crap apps and malware and needs factory reset atleast once in a year." Comments like this are what make me giggle and realise that allot of users should stick to 'feature' phones...

          Windows phone is already mature now, you can do all the basic things that you can't on iPhone. Don't critisize a phone due to your lack of knowledge on the way how to operate it. If you feels that the UI is boring, thats upto you. Theres million of users who feels proud of using Windows phone because of its beauty and ease of use. Do you know that the fastest growing smartphone ecosystem is windows phone in terms of market share or functionality. I will not prefer lagdroid to no one as playstore is full of crap apps and malware and needs factory reset atleast once in a year.

            I agree that WP OS is one of the smoothest, stable and also that it has a 36 months support cycle, but given the fact that it only receives features that other OSes already had 36 months earlier really negates the fact and actually puts it on the backfoot. Its equivalent to samsungs strategy of putting the outdated version of Android in order to make your phone outdated even before the 18 month cycle. Dont mistake me as WP hater. This is just my frustration at its ridiculously slow development and its marketing.

              We don't care if Windows is on the top or at the bottom but I simply love Windows Phone specially with Nokia Lumia its a complete package unlike anything else but so less devices please boost up your phones in market as I need my next Windows Phone. There are so cheap Android available and with very pretty specs but once you're used to Windows then Android seems useless.

                            i have tried many window's phone devices from low range 520 to high range 1520....
                            frankly speaking i can't even able to take a windows phone in my hands for more then 5 mins., it's ui is so dull and irritating that it makes u feel so uncomfortable to handle it makes u want to get rid of it in only 3 or 4 min's doesen't matter how cool the hardware is like of 925, 720 or 1520's..
                            i can't even imagine buying a window's phone in my whole life and i don't think the world also wants it, the current position of nokia is the biggest and the cleanest example of it..
                            & it's comparison to android, ios, sailfish or bb10 is like drinking a hot beer in comparision to a chilled one... loll

                                WP 7 wasn't upgradeable to WP 8 because it used a different kernel. The transition was painful, but now that it's done, my understanding is that WP 8 to WP 9 upgrades would be limited only by the power of the device or by vendor perogative.

Google would never do that with their app.
