MS took too much time to respond to the iPhone and Android. By the time they had released the Windows phones, it was too late. Those phones were shit too.

I had one of them, a Nokia one. They we're not.

I used a Windows Phone way back in high school, I think it was an Xperia, the build quality was great and the performance was smoother than my friends' Androids and iPhones. Too bad there wasn't a lot of apps, that was the only down side though.

I really miss that UI, live tiles were so nice. there's launchers on android that mimic it, but it's not the same.
