You are very forgiving. As I said, they improved greatly from the Windows Mobile days, but they also had a lot of issues.

I am a .Net developer and I have few apps on my phone, so it really is the base phone I am talking about.

The only "issue" I've had that made me unhappy as a customer and that was actually Mictosoft's fault is the refusal to back-port Windows 10 to the Nokia 1020.

Other than that, there's nothing for me to forgive. I'm genuinely happy with the phone.

The Nokia 1020 was not bad, the problem is it was competing with the iPhone 5 and a great many good Android phones. Which again is the problem, not bad is not enough to compete in most markets.

No it was not bad. It was a great phone. I still use mine. And I enjoy it. I don't agree with you that it was merely "not bad".

Is it really so impossible for you to understand that I might feel differently about the product than you do?

Personal experience and market failure heavily suggest it was not a great phone. At one point we had a small stack of them in the office nobody wanted.

But, I can accept we have different standards.
