That way people can pirate our movie and music works on your opwn Wi-Fi.
I like the phrase "opwn Wi-Fi". Your open wifi just got pwned!

There is a "death grip" issue for HTC One X,
you're holding it wrong!
Sounds like the problem my wife's [Sexual] Desire was having with a particular hotel's [bell hop] when we were traveling in Europe. Of course, it probably wasn't reasonable for me to ask the hotel manager to [join us]... could I have?

wow you've never run a business have you. i bet you'd never make blueprints for a new house. just start by building a room, then work your way up.
The street car systems were failing and unsustainable. Another company came in with a viable business model. Conspiracy? Evil?
Btw that wiki sucks if it says "there is general agree,ent that..." I will add a tag saying citation is needed.
What does all of this have to do with Asange? -1 off topic.
I'm saying I don't need mr neckbeard's fart translation app. A subset of professionally developed apps is fine, and that's what's available on windows phone.
My mom is my closest relative.
What are you trying to say?
umm... Iceland has 12 million population..
dude, listen. a tax gathers money from some people to pay for services for other people or all people. wear a hat so when your mind is blown it doesn't make a mess. look up the Universal Service Fee. I'm sorry that this is challenging for you.
It's about as bad as when automotive bought up streetcar lines to destroy them and replace them with buses.
citation needed, also false, and makes no sense.
1) i cannot write software for it without a license to develop, because the phone is locked down
then buy a license! bfd. same is true for iphone.
2) once i write something for it, it cannot share that code with my friends even if they also had a windows phone, because the phone is locked down
buy a license and post it to the store, so anyone can download it. and they have to have windows phones duh.
3) the phone cannot work as a usb drive, it is locked down and can only sync data via closed protocols or closed applications
then... get a usb drive? call me crazy. I have one on my keychain.
4) the battery drains very quickly, this is just a problem for this model
so it has nothing to do with windows phone, but you're going to hold microsoft at fault.
5) there is no decent browser on the phone, it has internet explorer that does not handle many of the basic things a browser should do like implement createElementNS()
just use ffx for windows phone if it's a big deal for you.
6) i cannot write c++ code for this phone, this phone need C#, or javascript or maybe some other CIL based programming language
an opportunity to improve your skills?
7) this phone is product of a company with a very bad track record which uses the profits of its other monopolies to bully itself into this market
yeah but it also uses its brain trust and size to develop really good programs to leapfrog others.
8) because windows phones are so locked down, like apple devices are, they are the bringing about the end of digital freedoms for consumers
and nothing of value was lost...
9) the phone is riddles with licence agreement and dialogs that want you to give away all your data. for example, the first time you run Internet Explorer on Windows Phone, it will ask you: "Do you want to share you browser history with Microsoft so we can [...]? {YES) (CANCEL)." The use of 'CANCEL" implies that IE wont start, thus bullying people into clicking YES.
better than google, which just takes all your data without asking.
Lack of apps.
don't care. as long as they have the big apps. After going through an iphone infatuation phase, i hardly download apps anyway. boo hoo it's missing wall paper app from chinese dude. I prefer if it just has apps from the big boys.
Difficulty of porting apps from other phones
as a consumer, not my problem. to the extent it makes it difficult for fart apps to port, i'm fine with it.
Horrible networking APIs
as a consumer, not my problem.
Not open
who gives a f? all the nerds can get their droids and do cyanowhatever.
From a company with a history of screwing people
umm, so is BMW (made tanks in WWII) but that doesn't stop people from buying them.
Prefer a simple feature phone.
then this whole thread is irrelevant for you so keep your opinions to yourself.
"Windows phone is an immature OS"
a quote? from where? [citation needed]
i've played with it at the microsoft store and like it a lot. if it comes to VMo for a reasonable price (ie $150) i'll get one.
If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some.
