The writer of this editorial says that MSFT should have a communication method similar to BBM. Many suggest WLM. Problem is, and as much as you don't want to admit it, the US is one of RIMs largest markets, if not the single largest. So MSFT should push WLM on their phones when the wp7 install base is next to nothing? Why would anyone switch to WLM as an alternative to texting when none of their friends/colleagues have a wp7 device to take advantage of it. It makes infinitely more sense to jump onto an already established platform like Kik out of the gate (in wp7s infancy). Maybe in some years, WLM could be the defacto method, but being able to message the one person I know that has a wp7 device vs all the I know with wp7, Android, and iOS is a no brainer, kik wins.

Yes lots of people worldwide use WLM, but the idea to compare it to BBM is stupid. the reason that BBM was so damn successful is that it has a HUGE install base. Trying to get something like WLM to compete w/ BBM is just stupid. It'd make more sense to bring on a real messenger like Kik which is coming this fall. Why do you think Kik was experiencing problems with RIM (rim blocking their app from updating in real time)? It's the biggest threat to BBM that RIM has ever faced. It makes more sense to support something (Kik) that is completely platform agnostic (Android, WP7, iOS) Mon, 25 Apr 2011 01:38:16 +0000 http://wmpoweruser.com/editorial-microsoft-is-damaging-their-competitiveness-by-being-the-most-operator-friendly-os/#IDComment145735220 http://wmpoweruser.com/wp7-on-fastcustomers-to-do-list/#IDComment145469387 seriously, what the hell are you bitching about. do you not understand that a lot of these products that are being ported to wp7, are...being PORTED. they're coming from other platforms like, you guessed it, android or APPLES iOS.

Seems very disingenuous to me. And what's the average wp7 user consist of? the middle 2 standard deviations? so what...68.2% of people have all their needs covered. But the remaining 31.8% have what 10% of their needs covered? Very bad statistic Sun, 27 Mar 2011 20:04:06 +0000 http://wmpoweruser.com/editorial-the-continuing-diminishing-return-from-updates/#IDComment137946811
