As shitty as M$ is, it would have been nice to see Windows phone become moderately successful and be a third primary mobile os.

That's would just be Windows 11 S ~Mobile~ ~Edition~, but you do not get the option to upgrade to Windows 11 Home ~Mobile~ ~Edition~ as you would on a PC

Or maybe you do get an option, but its a subscription for $50 per quarter-year. 🫠

Not much different than Google. Keeping their mobile device storage low and then officially advising people to just store stuff on Google drive instead.

Thus driving people to pay for Google One.

I didn't hate my Windows Phone when I had one.

I would have rather seen the development of BBOS10. It was so far ahead of its time.

That whole thing we do with swipe gestures to navigate the android interface? Yeah BBOS had that years ago.

I miss my Passport.
