Microsoft's foray into phones was a bumbling, half-hearted fiasco, and Nadella always knew it

Re: Thanks for the entertainment...

As someone who has had a several Windows phones foisted on me by work, I disagree with you about the lack of apps situation. It wasn't just made up by hacks, it is true. Thinking of the apps I use most. FB app? Well out of date. eBay app? Skin of the website without any of the notification features. Youtube App? Nope. GTA San Andreas? Nope. iPlayer? Nope. More specialist apps from smaller companies/developers? Nope

Also, the browser is awkward with no forward button. The one techie thing I wanted to do wasn't possible (manually set DNS server on wireless)

I forward all calls to my personal phone, turn them off and a couple of years later return them in 'as new' condition.
