That's crazy then, wonder where all these phones are, I rarely see people with Androids, and society has pretty much made iphone standard. Cars, stereos etc come with iphone docks and are designed around it, advertisers always say "download our iphone app" etc. And every average joe person you see has an iphone.

Wonder if 3G devices like alarm systems are somehow being picked up in those stats as being an android phone, as those may possibly run some kind of modified version of Android.

It's interesting that never really took off tbh. Ms seems like the type of company that could promote something like that better. I guess they were probably too late in the game though. Apple has like 90% market share then you have the oddball people like me who go Android.
In an enterprise environment, for work only, they are a solid piece to an ecosystem. I bought a couple Windows phones in addition to the Nokia's I was given for work and they were all awful for personal use. Barely any apps, shockingly low specs and not really intuitive.

Again, for work they're easy to integrate. Anything else and I absolutely despised them. I felt less locked down when I upgraded to the iPhone 6 at the time.

Yeah I could see that. Blackberry also had that market and kinda failed. Basically workplaces started implemented BYOD and that mostly killed off BB and probably Windows Phone too. Blackberry was so nice though from a server admin point of view. Super easy to integrate with BES.

I didn't care since I used it as hotspot for my tablet.

Speaking of Halloween I need to install my new doorbell. It's like the only time of the year it gets a lot of use. :p I have one of those wireless ones but they're crap, the batteries last like 2 weeks. So I'm just going to put in a wired. Need to decide where the doorbell part goes so that it's easy to run the wire.
