"It's about pleasing the masses who desire an easy user experience, not tech heads who want a complex DIY nuclear warhead in their pocket."
This was my response to a neighbor discussing the potential for Windows Phone in competing against iOS and Android. In my eyes, the OS does offer a clean, modern interface that's alluring and quite intuitive for daily use. The touch response is promising and even better than some Android platforms I've come across. The newest Lumia offers a larger ClearBlack display along with solid polycarbonate construction inspired by the memorable N9. These pros along with Nokia-exclusive apps and a growing Marketplace seem to give Nokia and Microsoft a fighting chance in the US market with this Lumia 900.
While a part of me still likes to have a bit of customization with my Androids to a certain extent along with usual perks (microSD, USB mass storage), not everyone seeks that. Most folks just want something that works with limited fuss...and the prospect of not having to wait for SW updates due to fragmentation could be another desire as well. In lieu of this, I believe Nokia and Microsoft have a chance in the US...a very good one.
