Ok, put it this way. Why can loyal Nokia user switch to iPhone & have no probs bout all these same restrictions? I see even uncles & aunties much older than me use iPhones. And I'm 30+ liau.
You can actually skip Windows Live ID registration at the start, as Andy has said. I didn't get a chance to try that.
Anyway, why don't you use WP7 as it's intended, without thinking so much about how the old ways worked? Honestly if WP7 doesn't suit u, there's still other Nokia phones available, right? Especially those you keep saying ppl do not use internet or email. Why do you want them to use an obvious internet heavy phone then?
Easy to answer your question, ppl jumping ship is because ppl rather have restriction on their phone than Symbian lag, apps crash all the way, they cannot tahan with the restarting / waiting stuff. That's y iphone smoothness attracts them, they trade off with their usability & freedom with the OS smoothness.
Of coz further more, as the time goes by android & iphone already develop a strong market, with so much application & games supported, who will remember iphone sux in camera, sux in durability and sux with Bluetooth transfer? Nokia, still meeting with all the layers wondering what to do next, but they don't realize whats is their strongest part. In fact, they canot market their strong part to the world but hire some Microsoft idiot to make their situation worst.
By the time they come out with MeeGo, iOS & Android market already in mature state, most of the ppl who jump ship never bother to come back to Nokia. And elop kills MeeGo too, so any reason to come back Nokia? ofc no...
Situation 1: You have a iPhone? wow cool~~~
Situation 2: You have Nokia? wow, what century are you living? lol
To be honest, these brainwashed marketing strategy makes Nokia have no place to stand in the market.
