Its a great possibility that Microsoft will succeed with the mobile operating system it has under its belt. At the same time Android is moving fast and IOS rules everything mobile.

I think Android will continue to pass IOS, but the Iphone will be the best phone being sold.

Maybe but every single windows phone my store has carried have not really sold at all. No one was impressed with them, no one really cared about linking it with their xbox live account.

In the end, our stores pulled them as the sales didn't meet expectations.

Now the Mango update seems nice but still nothing I am really impressed with. It seems Windows is playing the Blackberry game and just trying to catch up to the market instead of adding innovation.

So Microsoft's current recourse is to sign deals with Android phone manufacturers like HTC and Samsung. They get a piece of the android sales for those two companies, which actually makes them more money than sales of the windows phones, and they give access to Samsung and HTC to Mic...

True. I have used nearly every mobile OS on the market. I have never been a fan of the the iOS as I found it restrictive, either Apple's way or the highway. Honestly though, it is a good product but when you have customers coming in asking for it and they only want it because their friends said they HAVE to have it, it's rather annoying. Also being forced to use Itunes to update or even activate your phone is really annoying to me.

Android I found much more open, I could add/remove what I wanted but it is not perfect and still needs some tweaks. Also most of my apps are free.

Blackberry's I have never had an issue with but they were always geared toward business and that's fine because they work great for businesses. Also, like Apple y...
