As a mostly satisfied WP user, I am wondering what does it lack to maybe break into the market in a meaningful way?
Does it even stand a chance or is it ala Don Quixote?
Is it still the apps? Games? Marketing? Or are people just not digging metro at all (metro is actually by far the biggest reason I love it)? What do you think is the most important factor?
What I noticed is the sudden surge in WP where I live (Croatia). It's definitely a strong third contender now (double digits I'd say). We even got a fully functioning bank apps from two of the biggest banks. Also a lot of people now ask me about the phone when they notice it and a lot of them know it's a Lumia.
I don't particularly care much if it's successful or not as long as they keep developing it, but I am just curious if it's possible for MS to break into the smartphone market head through the wall and what you thing would take for that to happen.
