I agree with you and I expected that WP will start eating Android's share, because until recently, Android's UX sucked. Why were consumers buying plasticky phones with the slow and unintuitive Android instead of Lumia phones? Similarly baffling was that Palm Pre completely failed as an iPhone competitor. Some of the possible reasons: * It was a market failure, consumers weren't choosing what was best for them. * WP came too late. * Thanks to its flexibility and openess, Android was able to fill various market niches.
