"No one comes into the store and asks for a Windows phone."
Of course not. People come into the store and ask for a phone the does "the email and stuff", and walk out with some Samsung model they've previously never heard of.
Microsoft is currently paying AT&T to push the Nokia Lumia. The rest of the carriers have zero incentive to push Windows Phone devices when companies like Samsung and LG are so willing to customize their Android devices to each carrier's whim.

- stcredzero 15y agoIs there an opportunity here? Even unsophisticated users know there's something wrong with crapware.
- notatoad 15y agoit's not a selling point. a selling point is something that a salesperson can take advantage of to make a sale, and "my employer hasn't fucked this phone up as much as they have those other ones" isn't something a salesperson can tell a customer. lack of carrier crap is a feature, but it's not an advertisable one. even microsoft can't advertise it, because they have relationships with carriers to maintain.
