That is still one of the most mind boggling decisions I've seen. You launch a new smartphone platform to compete with two rivals that already have a head start, and then you intentionally wipe away all your progress so you can start even further behind again. Any interest in it evaporated overnight

It isn’t that mind-boggling to me, it’s Microsoft’s way.

Release a phone platform. Then another, incompatible phone platform that looks and behaves practically identically.

Reminds me of Windows 11. Three different kinds of control panel, two different kinds of context menu, infinite different kinds of window frame.

MS competes with itself!
