You couldn't be wronger. In fact, it is ahead of Android.

People don't like == miserable sales numbers. The narrative for Windows Phone 7 is so bad that naturally the only people who buy it are generally going to automatically like the platform -- they had some ulterior motive, generally, for selecting it.

Windows Phone is evolving quickly and is turning credible, but that satisfaction survey is complete discardable nonsense.

Windows phones have some of the best ratings on carrier websites and Amazon.

Fringe things generally do. That isn't an insult to it, it's simply truth.

It is also failing because of carrier stores and salesmen, who seem to be steering people away from Windows Phones to Android LTE devices.

Maybe because they think the Android devices are better? For much of Android's life salespeople have rightly steered users to the iPhone. A "held down" conspiracy doesn't follow.



How can you not like something if you've never used it? Android and iOS are the safe bet, but might not be the best fit for every use case. You'll never know with a closed mind and preconceived notions.
