If my Windows phone ever drops into the urinal, I'll just leave it there.
Microsoft didn’t sell using the phone.

I want to know what it does.
Does it support Windows file types?
Can I drag & drop files, photos, mp3s, and mpgs directly to and from my desktop? (I HATE “syncing”!!!)
Are there apps for it?
If it supported Windows Gadgets directly, then it would be a major selling point. But I haven’t heard anything about it doing that, so I have to assume Microsoft missed out on a huge no-brainer opportunity.

I agree on the both points. The decision to market the Windows Phone as the phone you use less so you can get back to life seems idiotic. If I want to get back to life I’ll get rid of my (Android) phone entirely.
I also agree that the ad campaign has utterly failed to point out whatever advantages Windows might have over IOS or Android.
IMHO, they should have done more to market the actual phones (which seem to have solid, if not groundbreaking specs). While the OS is one factor in phone choice, I think most consumers choose phones, not operating systems.
They should have launched on handsets that were a generation ahead, and promoted how functional and cool those phones were. Then, consumers would associate WindowsPhone with those great devices.
