Re: What Do You Think Would've Happened if Windows Phone Still Existed?

My first cellphone actually was a Windows phone (a blue Lumia 650), believe it or not. My classmates all thought I was lying when I said I owned one.
It was a pretty obscure product to begin with and I think it still would've faded into even further obscurity regardless. The one thing Microsoft is known for is their computers and they haven't seemed to have had any luck with changing that no matter how hard they keep trying to, even when they've been earlier to the game than their competitors (such as when they released a line of tablets that hardly anyone remembers 5 years before Apple released the iPad).
Even Blackberry had a better chance of still being around than Windows phones ever did.
