Interesting thing is for most people it seems to be important to have available a big selection of apps. That has been for years the excuse of why windows phones are not more popular.

Most people only use 20 apps, but those 20 apps are different from person to person.

Once I get those 20 apps installed, I can go months without installing new apps.

I think it has less to do with having a large selection and more to do with having the apps you want. I dont care if the app store has 1 trillion apps; I do care if I can't use Gmail and Google Voice.

Also the internet doesn't seem to like IE as much as the WebKit browsers, or at least that was the case before I gave up on WP8. And then there's the lack of a notification pane..
