Cellular companies are doing a terrible job selling Windows Phones, and one fan has had enough.
Robert McLaws has created a Web site, Windows Phone Tattletale, to let users vent about their experiences trying to buy a Windows Phone.
As McLaws tells WinRumors, he was frustrated last fall when he went into an ATT store shortly after the Windows Phone launch and nobody there knew anything about the platform. They only had one working phone on display.
A few months after that, he went into a Verizon store to try and find out about the upcoming HTC Trophy, but the salesman kept trying to sell him an Android phone instead.
He got really angry when ATT Mobility chief Ralph De La Vega told AllThingsD in an interview that Windows Phones haven’t sold as well as the carrier expected.
So he built the site to expose what a shoddy job the carriers are doing. Users can post reviews and McLaws will tweet each one he gets.
So far, the site only has a handful of stores on it, mostly on the East Coast and Canada, but you can sign up to add your own.
