In a rare show of frustration, a Nokia executive suggests that Microsoft needs to rethink its approach to Windows Phone.
Speaking to International Business Times, Nokia vice president Bryan Biniak said that it's hard to get people to switch to Windows Phone when the apps they rely on aren't available.
While he didn't offer any specific ways that Microsoft could improve the app situation on Windows Phone, he did suggest that Microsoft could be moving faster on building its mobile operating system. Nokia has been releasing new phones on a regular basis, including the new Lumia 1020, while a major update to Windows Phone may not come until next year.
"We are trying to evolve the cultural thinking [at Microsoft] to say 'time is of the essence,' Biniak said. "Waiting until the end of your fiscal year when you need to close your targets, doesn't do us any good when I have phones to sell today."
