Guys who post all this gibberish about Windows phone have either never used Windows Phone 8.1 and also did a comparison with BlackBerry 10. Forget the android side loading, I find BlackBerry 10 to be the most boring. Very few native apps, no virtual assistant and even worse of is that most apps on the app world are even android ports. The side loading thing even looks so geeky that only few will walk that path. This is from someone who has used both platforms. Don't judge from the outside. Live it for a good season and then testify. I don't fancy all this generalisation trends these days.

All these ll change with windows 10.....as microsoft is about to unify all windows to one kernel(xbox,pc,tablets,phones etc),apps developers ll be forced to develope apps for windows phone.this is due to the fact that microsoft rules the pc and gaming world....once u develop an app for a game console or pc,the app is automatically available for phone as a result of same kernel(unified windows)...microsoft tends to use the power of 1.5billion pcs and xbox console to lure developers.this is one of the reasons why google is trying to make chromebook and chrome os avalable to everyone as fast as possible ( pc still control technology,google also fears that microsoft and apple might use the power of x86 os like windows and mac os in phones) ...........i guess steve ballmer and windows 8 caused this poor start of windows fone
microsoft have this habbit of coming in late, they really have to loosen up a bit.

Limited apps
According to Microsoft, Windows Phone has 525,000 apps available for users to download. That number is a mix of free, fake and paid apps, but it is still minute compared to what Google and Apple have on their respective app stores. At the time of writing, there are 1,418,453 apps on Google Play, according to AppBrain, while Apple has about 1.2 million apps as of June 2014. One reason for the low number of apps for Windows Phone is that app developers are not interested in developing for a platform that has minimal appeal to consumers.

Lack of official apps
For instance, doing a search for the YouTube app on a Windows Phone app store will yield dozens of fake apps as Google did not make one. Microsoft does offer its version of an official YouTube app, but it can easily get lost in the sea of fake YouTube apps.

Way too late
Windows is the last platform chose by developers as far as apps are concerned. The app store has only a fraction of apps that other stores have. If apps do become available for Windows Phone, it may have already missed the boat as people have moved on.

Application Updates Way Way too late
Application updates a little bit longer than the other OS. Because users of Windows Phone fairly far less than Android and iOS, the developers usually will put in a second application update OS from Google and Apple, then update to Windows Phone 8 will be issued.


Boring User Experience
It has only one interface with live tiles which may bore some users. The User Interface is another major problem it has only one Interface with live Tiles at the Starting of using this device the Interface is ok but Continuous Use of the same interface may get bored to the User.


Lack of Reliable System Wide File Manager

One of the Major Problem is There is no System Wide File Manager. We donot have any App also for this, For Access of Files in your Mobile you have to connect it to the System.

One of my consideration for buying any phone is if there are Nigerian banks mobile app in it store.

I was almost buying the lumia 930 when I realised that it doesn't have my bank mobile app...I immed lost all interest.

The bright colours are also a turn off for me.
