Why The Amazing New Flagship Windows Phone Will Fail


Nokia's new Lumia smartphone has amazing hardware (especially its
unprecedented 41-megapixel camera). And it doesn't matter at all, because its
software lags so far behind its hardware.

When HTC released a gorgeous, powerful, innovative, distinctive Android phone
a few weeks ago, we realized Android was suddenly an option for everyone,
even the very rich. But yesterday, Nokia unveiled its newest flagship
smartphone, a gorgeous, powerful, innovative, distinctive Windows Phone, and
I suspect it won't sell any better than the Lumia 920, the last flagship
Nokia Windows Phone (which in its first quarter sold 4.4 million units,
compared to the iPhone 5's 27.4 million). Or the Lumia before that. Or the
one before that. That's because Windows Phone has a serious problem: its
hardware is improving rapidly, but its operating software is not.

Two years ago, we reviewed Windows Phone 7.5, the first major update to the
then-new Windows Phone operating system, and said we were still "waiting for
it to really live up to its promise." One year ago, we reviewed the Nokia
Lumia 920, with the Windows Phone 8 update, and said "Windows Phone has huge
problems. That doesn't mean it's bad, but we're two years into this operating
system, and it still has basic issues that impact daily use."

The new Lumia looks great--I was very impressed with the camera technology
when I saw it last year, and the aesthetics of the Lumia line have always
been stylish and playful in a way that's totally different from anything else
on the market. But that doesn't matter at all, because Microsoft is not
improving the Windows Phone operating system at anywhere near the pace it
needs to.

Here's a brief list of major problems Microsoft has yet to address.

1. Multitasking is sometimes inscrutable, in that you never know which apps
   will show up in the "currently running" list of apps.

2. Email threading often doesn't work, especially with Gmail accounts.

3. Lots of features, including Rooms (sort of a mobile, multimedia chat
   room) are Windows Phone exclusives, meaning they can only be accessed with
   Windows Phones--cool, but it's pretty unlikely all your friends have Windows
   Phones too.

4. Speech recognition is lousy, nowhere near as good as Google's Android
   voice control or even Apple's Siri.

5. There's no place to see notifications at all; if you get an alert on an
   app that you haven't pinned to your homescreen, you'd never know.

6. Bing Maps doesn't have public transit directions, let alone bike directions.

7. It's not easy to share photos to services like Twitter and Facebook;
   Android and iOS let you do that in one touch, but not Windows Phone.

Microsoft can fix all that stuff. Microsoft needs to fix all that stuff. But
the biggest problem might be the hardest to fix: there aren't nearly enough
good apps available for Windows Phone.

App developers are often low-budget and understaffed, even wildly successful
ones, and it's expensive and time-consuming to assign people to port apps to
another platform, like Windows Phone. They'll do it, sure, if they have the
resources and it seems like the userbase is big enough to make them some
money... and therein lies the problem.

It's a cyclical issue. Developers won't make apps for a platform nobody uses,
and nobody will buy a phone with no apps. No customers leads to no apps leads
to no customers.

Microsoft can break the cycle, though. All it has to do is take advantage of
the fact that it's one of the biggest and most powerful companies in the
world: take a cannon, fill it up with money and talented developers, and aim
it south from the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington straight at Silicon
Valley. (Or wherever else the developers call home.) Aim the cash cannon
east, at London, and give King.com, the makers of massive hit Candy Crush, a
couple hundred thousand dollars and a team of developers to port the game
over to Windows Phone. Do the same for Instagram (which is still not
available on Windows Phone), Snapchat, Dots, or whatever else people are
using on other platforms.

Microsoft has the clout and capital to fix its own problems--it just needs to
actually spend the time and money it'll take to do it.

推 BenShiuan:只能看8.1能端出什麼囉
→ Greentale:8.1好像有改進多工的樣子，不過這就表示多工不順造成的
→ Greentale:問題要等到明年才能解決...
推 BenShiuan:不太懂第7點 其他系統有什麼不同嗎？
推 adolyes:解決方式：吐錢
推 adolyes:fb上圖？android就跟win桌電差不多，選圖打字按確認
推 theKusoStar:雖然是幻想 但是這一隻是android系統 我會買 = =
推 view0828:樓上會買 可是我不會買 WP沒了我就跳哀鳳去~
推 a495941221:WP沒了跳哀鳳+1 就是不用android
推 Lumia520:我也是。絕不買安卓。
推 Jason0813:Android不是可以刷WP嗎
→ Nuaaukw:等等，不然WP不是選圖打字按確認嗎？
推 fischcheng:這篇不知所云，尤其第七點，作者有用過WP?
→ fischcheng:Multitasking跟Notification是可改進，其他覺得還好
→ fischcheng:app不夠跟用戶不多的惡性循環，可是覺得wp高品質app也
→ fischcheng:蠻多的，不過MS錢那麼多是真的可以多燒一點來衝
推 adolyes:看原文底下的回應也挺有趣的
噓 wanway:個人覺得超多內容都是不對的，作者真的沒用過WP。
→ wanway:硬要拿別的系統來比較，不會讓WP更好。區隔、創新才是重點
→ zooxalju:我沒什麼立場啦，只是轉文分享一下國外媒體觀點
→ zooxalju:像我就覺得WP的語音辨識其實還不錯啊
→ zooxalju:第三點，Room的概念很好可是只有WP能用實在很糟Y
→ zooxalju:我覺得MS應該要把Room這種feature做成Android跟iOS的app
→ zooxalju:不然用家只會少不會多
推 mathrew:APP 問題啦, 老實說, 我都想跳回Apple了, 唉
→ wanway:我記得ROOM部分功能能跟其他系統互用但都要有MS帳戶的樣子
→ wanway:其實手機好不好用都是由「媒體」決定的。近來看新聞的感想
→ Lattendue:其實在老N最近這一直發表機子後論調就已經變成希望MS可
→ KengC:看起來就是沒用過在評論
→ Lattendue:以趕上老N的速度不要在慢N拍了XDD
→ wanway:但MS在台灣真的投資太少。會英文、跳美國後使用體驗差很大
推 fischcheng:真的Here跟Bing在美國用超好用的。
→ a0916813981:反正台灣是小市場，在台灣大部分的人都認為安卓是神
→ a0916813981:我之前拿wp時，外國人看到跟我說這支很cool，反觀台灣
推 Parasite0922:很cool是沒錯  但是在台灣真的還不夠好用阿...
→ Greentale:因為不能玩A級盜版遊戲嗎??
推 joe7254445:話說今天傳出有人被充著電的哀鳳5電死

→ LiaoKen02:1020全世界都賣了嗎?? XD
→ eterbless:還沒賣就說不會成功 這作者也太好笑了...
→ LiaoKen02:7.真的可以證明作者在亂寫甚麼??
→ LiaoKen02:我的意思是7.真的不是作者所寫的那樣
→ friedpig:可以先定義成功是啥嗎？
推 friedpig:920/520拉了不少市佔算是成功還是失敗？  還是要超安趕
→ friedpig:蘋才是成功
推 Lsamia:我覺得單論1020來說 價格是最直接影響讓他會曲高和寡
→ friedpig:但是沒一個標準怎樣叫賣的好啊? 比920賣得好的話算成功
→ friedpig:嗎? 還是要讓WP一口氣變成3強才算
推 Lsamia:讓Nokia脫離標普垃圾級(誤
推 BenShiuan:旗艦機是用來提高關注度的 中低階才是拉高市佔的關鍵
→ friedpig:應該沒機會吧 不過我覺得要賣贏920有機會
→ Jason0813:當然是等自己入手之後 再說它賣的好阿
→ Lsamia:在AT&T我覺得機會不大 綁約299耶...
推 Jason0813:真的要有顯著擴張 可能要等tmobile跟sprint verizon都上
推 Lsamia:註:現在S4 149 ,牛丸 49, 920 0元
→ Lsamia:而且按過往來看這次Nokia補貼少了至少100美元
→ Lsamia:這中間不知道是何故
→ friedpig:仔細想想 應該收回 馬上就下隻旗艦了 這隻應該是做做秀?
→ Greentale:其實這隻旗艦很不旗艦阿，除了RAM跟相機之外，CPU還是用
→ Greentale:舊的。
→ Lsamia:這真的是阿知..XD 1020在手機上看起來一切都很正常
→ Lsamia:這次反而是單機價與綁約價顯得..唔..不積極(?)
→ friedpig:在趕時間吧 搶IP前 IP後再完整版拚拚
→ friedpig:MS慢慢搞GDR3也是問題之一
→ Greentale:我是不看好NOKIA WORLD產品的價格啦...1020就開這價了
→ Jason0813:1020不是32G嘛？ 所以應該跟對手32G的綁約價比?
→ Lsamia:微軟步調再不變就算到GRD5 一樣也是別人走三步WP走一步
→ Jason0813:其實像S4這樣出16G版本 然後可插卡 似乎是比較保險...
→ Lsamia:牛丸跟920都是32G阿 S4是16G可插卡
→ Greentale:微軟嘴巴說會加快腳步更新，但是...Who knows?
→ friedpig:還好啦 其他兩家也快沒三步好跨了 遲早會追到
→ Lsamia:而且做16G可插卡的BOM算起來也不會比32G便宜多少XD
→ Greentale:說好的WP7.X呢?
→ friedpig:兩個已經快到終點在發呆了
→ Lsamia:應該說已經在跨足到其他移動設備了..XD
→ Lsamia:談到其他的移動設備 這時候把鏡頭拉到Win8.1(大家眼神死
推 LiaoKen02:可以問一下牛丸是甚麼手機嗎XD
→ Greentale:微軟最近啥時有讓人眼睛一亮過XDDD
→ friedpig:說好的Surface2勒
→ Greentale:New hTC One
→ Lsamia:有阿 Win8.1的輸入法讓大家眼睛都瞪大了!
→ LiaoKen02:說好的Surface進台灣咧
→ LiaoKen02:喔喔謝謝了解了XD
→ Lsamia:我覺得Surface進不進台灣是很無關緊要的事情
→ Lsamia:現在Wintel產品的衰退不在於硬體不夠格阿
→ Greentale:Surface RT人家都降價了，NCC也過了，就是死不開賣。
→ LiaoKen02:也對啦反正我也沒要買XD
推 SurfacePro:我也想進台灣 雖說簽證拿到了 可是機票還沒買...
推 LiaoKen02:現在台灣微軟對Surface開賣時間依舊完全無解
推 Lsamia:Windows發展的最大敵人就是微軟(ㄟ?
→ jin062900:直接進下一代吧 反正第一代也不夠好
