Windows phone was the best phone OS I ever experienced. Features were years ahead of iOS and Android.

My brother had one and loved it! But outside of basic tasks he couldn't do anything with it. Eventually he switched to Android just to have apps.

I tried it, but then realized I couldn't even view my photos I took with my Nexus phone at the time. No Google photos app, and the web browser just took me to a page that said my phone isn't supported.

YouTube was also only supported via a third party app, and was missing pretty much every feature.

As soon as I realized I would struggle to do the most basic tasks, I bailed.
