I don't fully buy what this guy is selling. I tend to agree with Kindel's analysis of why WP is doing so poorly. Is the author aware that the Facebook app was created by Microsoft?

Having used a WP since this summer I love it. I can't say enough about it. If you're into social you'll love this phone with deep Facebook and Twitter integration.

I think the hardest thing about using this phone is missing out on apps that Android and iOS get. I'm resigned to the fact that if I stick with this phone that I'm going to miss out on a lot of cutting-edge apps. I can understand as a developer if you have to develop, maintain, and provide support for an app that two app stores is enough. The programming paradigm for WP is different enough where I could see a case for not poking that bear.

I am sad. I think WP has a lot going for it. It's really an elegant OS and it's a very good actual phone. I don't know if there's really room for a third horse in this race.
