I just think it is funny how Apple and Microsoft have changed places.
In the 90's and early 2000's one of the arguments used against Apple was that there were not as many software titles available to Apple computers are there were to Microsoft Windows computers. The hardware was comparable, though Apple would try to debunk the "numbers game" (GHz, MB, etc.) saying they were not the whole picture. At the same time critics would point out how there are many more software titles for Microsoft Windows than for Apple's Mac. Apple's response was one of "quality" over "quantity", asking "how many word processors do you use?" and that one good quality program is all you need.
Apple countered that argument by making a whole new niche (smartphones) before there were any competitors. Wonder how Microsoft is going to try and handle this?

Making more software? :)
I think because Windows phones haven't been around for such a long time, there you got the answer to the lack of software available, but it will only be a matter of time.
If Windows phones are going to plagued by viruses as much as Windows operating systems have been in the past (and even today) having a phone like that, I think at times older phones would actually be better for just ordinary calls...
I have a brother where the software in the phone causes glitches when he's trying to use the phone, just as a phone.
