Fellow WP enthusiast here, bought a wp7 on day 1. MS just couldn’t keep from fucking it up. Such a great opportunity with great phones, and soooo much more responsive than the androids at the time. But they couldn’t draw in the apps they needed, pushed to the wrong group of people targeting business types weirdly, and then they just kept ruining it with the updates. I miss the early WP days, and music wise I loved zune, it was so much nicer to use than the garbage that was itunes, but once wp got to 10 it started to lose a lot of the charm. I held on to the bitter end and then a little after. So fucking depressing.
