Microsoft is so big that they couldn't slow down to give their phones enough time to mature. Big companies have a lot of inertia and they don't like to carry the dead weight. It's a shame they burned through Nokia, but maybe Nokia will make a return.

Such a bizarre statement. MS didn't change Nokia phones hardly at all. They didn't even try. If they didn't want to change them they could have simply not purchased the company. It anything MS was too slow in developing windows phone 8, which according to reviews doesn't suck. But it came well after the iphone and andorid platforms stopped sucking. They were *years* late. The fell asleep at the wheel of inovation, and got crushed. having once had the best mobile os in winmobile circa 2003-2004.
