What should Microsoft do to order to save Windows Phone 7?

by

It’s clear by now that despite the positive reviews and the excitement among many developers (and some power users), Windows Phone 7 is a failure.

Just like the well respected webOS, it failed in the one and only parameter that really counts, and that’s sales.

Market share is constantly decreasing and soon Microsoft will disappear form the mobile charts. Mango is just around the corner, and even Windows Phone 8 rumors have started (expected in 2012) – but will they be enough to put Microsoft back in the race?

I doubt it.

I’ve been using Windows Phone 7 for almost a year now, and for most of the time I’ve been an excited fan of the innovative Metro UI, and the strong productivity side of the OS.

Recently, however, I went back to using my old iPhone.

Why, you ask? Because I got bored with Windows Phone 7. I Couldn’t enjoy the "apps experience" and I missed the fun experience of browsing through endless high quality apps. Windows Phone 7 ceased to excite me. I’m hoping the Mango update will change that.

Regardless to Mango, it seems that in order to really become competitive with Android and iOS Microsoft must change the game a little bit. Do something drastic, shake things up.

I gave it some thoughts and came up with a few suggestions of my own.
