To be honest, Windows Phone OS was a marvel in terms of user experience and design language. It was a fresh breath on interacting and utilizing the new always online world.

Calling it ‘Bad Software’ is not fair at all.

Too bad MS picked every possible bad decision to cripple it, starting with not putting it’s weight behind the OS at all.

I really, really miss the feeling of being in control of my whole digital existence with just a single glance.

Exacty. The Lumia 925 was so fucking good, and streets ahead of competitors, especially for the price. The camera on that phone made pics that is still better than some phone cameras today, from models that cost double or more!

Stop trying to coin the phrase “streets ahead”.

Uh, it's been coined for decades now.

I actually know that. It’s a reference to Community, which either inadvertently or otherwise acted like it’s not a real saying.

All good! Community is a great show. Check it out.

If you're not streets ahead you're streets behind

That phone still has the best image stabilisation I've used. I could take pictures while walking and the pictures it took were never blur.
