10 reasons why Microsoft should make a Surface Phone (Surfone)

Posted by BallmerIsMyHero on June 26, 2012 06:45 am 24

  • It puts additional pressure for other OEMs to come up with creative designs
  • OEMs do not care about WP (other than Nokia), rehashed Android phones is NOT something what shouts value.
  • Microsoft would no longer be OEM dependent.
  • A pure Windows Phone experience: no Nokia branded nonsense/useless icon changes, no HTC apps, just the way Microsoft intended WP to be.
  • They could sell it unlocked via MS Stores and bypass carrier update restrictions.
  • By releasing 1 phone per year, Microsoft will always excite people unlike HTC who cooks 10 new Android phones / year and does not generate any hype, thus not creating brand loyalty.
  • It’s a new brand and is not ruined by cheap plastic phones like Samsung, Nokia Asha, etc.
  • Microsoft has incredibly high standards and there is no doubt that Surfone would be made of very high quality materials, a screen size that makes sense (4-4.3), no carrier crapware and could go hand in hand against the iPhohe.
  • Microsoft has thousands of very talented people, as the Surface has shown. While others copy, Microsoft innovates and innovation is what excites people.
  • Revenue, revenue, revenue. More profits = bigger WP team = more innovation = happier customers.
