@Moon @MischievousTomato @caekislove @dave Of course, I'm always contrarian, but I loved Windows Phone and Blackberry 10. BB10 was fast, and with keyboard shortcuts you could be efficient in it. A phone OS designed for people who don't like messing with a gadget.

Windows Phone had some issues. Like the iPhone it had for a long time big restrictions on important features (like access to a file system), but it didn't have the app ecosystem either, so it was doomed. But what apps it did have for the vast majority respected Microsoft's Metro design language, better than they respected the design language of any other phone platform. It was a very distinctive experience to use it, one that put text at the forefront. In a way the opposite of the BB10 experience; it was meant to be beautiful, to please a visual designer, at the expense of efficiency if necessary.
