type_wildI'm a Windows Phone stan.
It's mostly because after a month of using it, my attempts at navigating my mum's Samsung and my dad's applephone were about as elegant as I expect my eightysomething grandma would be at it. Look, I'm absolutely aware that nobody is going to start using WP unless they're native users or is told to by their work, but I maintain that the WP UI is far more user-friendly and intuitive than Android and IOS, and that it is a goddamn tragedy that people won't use it because ew Microsoft.
The problem with WP, of course, is that few people = few apps. I've been doing just fine with it, but when my mum became enough of a Kleinbürger to get a new phone simply because the camera sucked at the current one.... well, the current one was handed down to me. She was very happy in her belief that I'll finally be on Snapchat.
But unless something extraordinary happens, the plan is that it becomes my designated running phone, because Zombies, Run only ever released S1 on WP and stopped support in 2012.
I might be a year later for Pokémon Go, but FE: Heroes will be faaaaar more recent.

Date: 2017-05-03 07:32 pm (UTC)I've been boicotting apple ever since an unfortunate incident in... 2004-ish, when the only way to get this one video codec was to download the quicktime player that only came bundled with itunes. I never forgave them that, and so I've been sticking with windows out of sheer spite (also there was that entire walled garden thing, but I'm pretty sure both MS and Google are moving in that direction anyway, so). I've tried a couple of Linux distros, but I never could be bothered with figuring them out well enough to use them effectively.
