Windows phone was the best phone OS I ever experienced. Features were years ahead of iOS and Android.
name a few. please.
I'm open to being wrong but you need to provide evidence to sway me, because I've used windows phones and developed for them when they were desperate to get games in their app store and it was wretched early on. like comically bad. so whatever firmed up over the years, please, enlighten me, I'm genuinely curious where they were years ahead.
Fuck man I loved windows phone like the guy you're commenting too, and I agree with him. I could have commented and told you all the features I liked that were ahead of its time, about 8 years ago, but ... It's been so long I can't remember shit anymore! Hahaha
Edit: the Camara was fucking awesome. Physical Camara button was pretty dope too, never caught on with other phones so who knows if I'm alone in saying that
physical cam controls would be pimpin.
