I'd like to use Windows Everything but I honestly don't know what I'd want from a Surface Phone that would get me to switch. My Surface Book is amazing, but... what's the offer?
I would have loved a uniform platform for my PC, phone and xbox but the apps were never there for the phone.
Chicken and egg situation
My dream is the cell-phone that can function as a fully-fledged desktop PC that you connect to a monitor and kbam.
I think there are multiple ways to do this (cell phone with the actual hardware power, cell phone that connects to a cloud account that pushes a vm, etc.) but I wish there were more attempts to make this a reality.

Ubuntu had a phone like this. Except they tried to do what the iphone did and do a limited release, and.. like.. never do anything with it? I think they released it last year, but, a few months ago announced they were done with their Unity UI (which is what was driving the phone's interface).

it still has a non-trivial usage share, so you have to take it into consideration
but both the vertical and horizontal screen space are so tiny that you'll often have to break up paragraphs and headlines to fit things on screen
generally it means an additional media query at less than 480px
Yeah, they work really really well for that.

The quality feels much lower even from the same company when using shit on Android.
