I disagree. I super enjoyed the UI of Windows Phone and only gave it up recently when MS formally dropped support.

In the time period to which parent refers, the Windows Mobile UI was nothing like what you're referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile_6.0

You're right—my bad. Thank you.

Given that they're was talking about events happening around the launch of the iPhone, they probably meant Windows Mobile.

I agree that Windows Phone was pretty great (especially 8 and 10)
