Did you buy one of those Sony phones?
Probably not. In fact that major disadvantage of Sony's entrants is incredibly well known, and has heavily worked against them. Which is exactly how the market is supposed to work.
Having said that, it's humorous that Microsoft is now looked to as a good example. For anyone who owned a Windows Mobile device before, there is a long history of Microsoft grunting out a version onto the market, and then abandoning. The amount of support for that Moto Q after it was released was exactly 0, and that wasn't Motorola's fault. Microsoft gets bored quickly.

And it's not like there aren't sufficient internal problems with the company to scuttle even an excellent product. But more competitors focussed on the customer and not the carrier is a plus in my book. I'm an iOS fan, but I don't want to live in an Apple monoculture.
