Why I believe in Windows Phone 7.
Windows Phone 7. The underdog of the mobile OS - is clearly gaining quite an audience. It’s OEM Nokia, is literally “chuddi buddies” with the Gung-Ho of the tech world, Microsoft. Where Nokia lacked pathetically was with the software, which, thanks to Microsoft, has been solved. Who the hell wants another Symbian. Microsoft and Nokia really are like a marriage made in the heavens! They’re like this “mutual parasites” - Microsoft renders its OS and Nokia, its excellent handsets!
Now getting to the point. Where WP7 shall find its niche is with corporate consumers. No one wants a plain vanilla Blackberry which only distinguishes itself from the others with a measely little messenger. Consumers want FREEDOM. And choices.
Well, you may retort childishly by saying that Android and iOS give more than that. Far much more. But NO. We want class. A brand which is cemented in the minds of people as a business phone. Android is what Maruti is to the automobile world. So what if Google has a few super phones. Doesn’t Maruti have its own few “super” cars? Has that changed the mindset that Maruti is/was/(shall always be) for the common people? No.
Moving on to the iPhone. Do corporations really look at an iPhone as a business devices? Sure, it’s got the uber cool looks and an equally slick UI AND number crunching specs. But, according to me, it’s like a spoilt child. It’s loud and emphatic. It’s bling factor makes it a phone that you would rather use at some other “shiny” events.
Let’s face it. If you were the CEO of a Fortune 500 company (and you weren’t a hippy), you wouldn’t carry a Droid because its too cheap, and you wouldn’t carry an iPhone because it doesn’t suit the demeanor of your job. So, choiceless, you would settle in for the (gay) Berry. That’s exactly where WP7 would come in. It’s got the slickness of the iOS and all the functionality you would ever want from your Berry (And even more.)
Microsoft Exhange. Check. SkyDrive. Check. Microsoft Office. Check. Does a CEO want more? Quality apps. Check. Smooth UI. Double check. That’s why I believe in Windows Phone 7, Microsoft’s greatest mobile offering. Few major upgrades (like Android keeps receiving) and it shall become a serious competitor. And make choosing your next phone even tougher.
Me? I WANT AN IPHONE ASAP!!!
