Why are you trying to belittle this device so much? What makes you try and ridicule it and Windows. It really looks obsessive to mock a system that doesn't threaten the absolute domination of Apple, why the vitriol?

Hi Asherpat, I think you're reading too deeply into my statements on this phone so you're assuming I have some sort of vendetta against it.

To address a few points though:
* "poorly named" - Apart from being a long winded name, the product isn't of a level to deserve the 'pro' moniker, and it is awkward to put 'Windows 10' in the name.

* "overpriced" and "underpowered" - The price is US$255, but it is equipped with an entry level SoC originally announced in 2014. The Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL has the same SoC, operating system, and shares other specs, but is less than half the price. I'm forgiving of the internals of that Alcatel phone because it is priced suitably for what it is equipped with.

* I was a daily user of Windows Phone over almost 4 years, in conjunction with an Android phone.

Hopefully this helps you understand my assessment of the Wiley Pro with Windows 10.
