Mobile hotspot - Am I missing something?

Oh yeah . . . I forgot to mention that Windows Phone 7 had no premium phones to show it off, but that appears to have changed with the Microsoft/Nokia alliance, as evidenced by the Lumia 900 (and the 800 in Europe last year). In terms of industrial design the only phone in existence that bests the Lumia is the iPhone 4/4s. And while the processor in the Lumia can't match specs with the dual-core chips in the newest Android, Windows Phone is an extremely efficient OS, so it feels every bit as nimble and responsive, if not more so, than the iPhone 4s and the current flagship Android devices.
So, basically, I'm fairly confident that Windows Phone will be successful.

No I was right in correcting your post, but I will let you figure it out. Take your time. Think before you type. Seriously.

Windows phone has ~80,000 apps while both Android and iPhone have close to or in excess of 500,000 apps. This is important. There are some very problematic holes in the Windows Phone Marketplace. In particular, there's no Pandora, Audible, Dropbox, or Grocery IQ (though a beautiful official Audible app will be released any day now). Other options exist, like Slacker Radio instead of Pandora and a third party Boxfiles app to interface with Dropbox, but that's not as good as having the real thing. But, honestly, most of the major apps are there. For a power user there may be some more obscure, but nevertheless must-have, apps that are missing from the Windows Phone library, but for most people all the important apps are there complimenting the core apps.

Sounds like the android market of 2 years ago. If MS can get some market share, the app developers will get on board.

It will be classic Microsoft catch up. Throw enough money and cross your fingers. It is the Internet Explorer debacle all over again. :lol

I don't think debacle means what you think it means.

Don't cloud the discussion with research and facts! Just fire off the first thing that sounds good, nobody fact checks around here anyway :duckhunt
