For context, Balmer was talking about Windows Mobile. Windows Phone came later and had to compete with Android as well as iOS. When my Symbian phone broke, I went with Windows Phone 8. I bought a refurbished Dell with a hardware keyboard and it was a much better experience than the iPhone I am typing on now. But Google effectively banned Windows Phone from YouTube and that sucked. And the Dell Phone camera went bad and had they sent me a replacement under warranty. I replaced the Dell with a big screen LG Android phone after my contract was up because the camera sensor had a giant dust. Later I replaced the LG with a Lumix running Windows Phone when that contract was up because of the Lumix camera…this was after Microsoft bought Nokia. Again no YouTube. The camera in that phone failed while I was on a road trip. Microsoft replaced it under warranty. And when it broke in a pants pocket, my child said “just get an iPhone” and I have had this one for five years and it was only $99 to have the battery replaced last year. So Windows Phone was a great OS but I had poor experience with the hardware. And Google first broke the YouTube app and then wouldn’t even allow the Edge Mobile browser over http.
