As an European Windows Phone user i'm doubting that they are aware that there's a world outside USA.

A lot of features are disabled for no good reason, and the rest of them has no data for Denmark.

For example when you play music on your phone you can set it to show pictures of the artist on the lock screen. On my phone the background just turns red. Also Local scout is disabled, though there aren't any data for it in Denmark anyway...

The music thing on the lock screen changed for me a few months ago. I'm in Germany. So apparently they make available features elsewhere slowly but they eventually get there. Local search works fine here too, although Germany is probably a bigger market than Denmark.

I gave up on Windows Phone because there was still no Skype app 6 months after I bought the phone, even though Microsoft acquired them. iPhone 4S Just Works...

I think skype was released a month or so after they acquired skype. Besides the skype integration that they show in the next version is way better than on any other phones/OS

in the next version

Set to be released this fall, if I remember correctly. So it's not that far off.

Skype (when not yet acquired by MS) shelved any plans of producing a Windows Phone version, so Microsoft (after the deal went through) probably had to start at near-zero with its version. At the same time they were likely working at the more native integration for WP8.

Just how many people would you expect them to throw at a problem that likely won't generate that many new customers? It all comes down to that in the end.
