I had a Windows phone. The UI sucked, of course, but they all did because of the tiny form factor. They had to, right? Then my buddy and I went to lunch one day, and he showed me his new "I-phone".
The heavens opened up and the truth was shown to me. I immediately realized, they didn't have to suck, after all. What a revelation.
- dmarlow 8y agoWindows phone or Windows mobile? I agree that Windows mobile was in a different class to the iPhone, but I disagree that the UI of Windows phone sucked. I think parts are/were better than iPhones'.
- rerx 8y agoWhen the iPhone came out, "Windows Phone" wasn't an OS yet. If your phone had Windows, it ran "Windows Mobile" based on Windows CE.
- usermac 8y agoI disagree. I super enjoyed the UI of Windows Phone and only gave it up recently when MS formally dropped support.
- dagw 8y agoGiven that they're was talking about events happening around the launch of the iPhone, they probably meant Windows Mobile. I agree that Windows Phone was pretty great (especially 8 and 10)
- mikestew 8y agoIn the time period to which parent refers, the Windows Mobile UI was nothing like what you're referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile_6.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile_6.0
- usermac 8y agoYou're right—my bad. Thank you.
