Windows phone discontinued?

Don't buy a Windows Phone.  I've had nothing but trouble, for about a year, that I've had MS Lumia 950xl dual sim.  Always problems, the FEEDBACK Hub, to report troubles, looks like nobody ever checks it; SUPPORT from MS is hard to get.  On this help forum answers usually sound like some kind of  "canned" response.  APPS from websites are practically non-existent.

Wish that I would've bought Apple.

I agree. After a 1020 and a 640XL I am tired of the software disasters. The latest was replacing the Lumia camera with the Microsoft camera. The Microsoft camera just doesn't work - after a few photos it locks up on "saving". This has been reported for almost two years, and the FEEDBACK hub is staffed by a robot which asks for a model number and then never replies.

If Microsoft is releasing another phone, I wont be in the queue the night before. Come to think of it, nobody will be.

Marsidotes, I'm so sorry that we've All been taken for a very BAD ride.  What do you say that we demand our money back IN FULL.  Sometimes, people & companies get too big for their britches.  You know what happens then?  Yeah, well this time it happened to US, BECAUSE THEY COULD.  Or, have they?

REFUND OUR MONEY MICROSOFT, ASAP

Really?  Are we brainwashed that the only person who does cars good is the first one that got there?  No one can build a better home coz Pulte perfected mass production...  If that were the case, there would  monopolies all over.  Always check the options available in the market on the day you are looking to spend your hard earned money.  If Windows Phone does it, remember, Microsoft is not a small fish that will disappear. Check you options properly!!  You might end up with the ad infested google apps.  I am not criticizing Google.  Just trying to put forth an objective view.  Most of the apps you install are typically junk.  The phone does three things very well in today's day and age:

1.  Communication - Audio and video calls are most likely going to be swell on these phones considering the hardware specs are better than most android phones.

2.  Browsing - I can bet this phone will not disappoint at most browsing.

3.  Pictures - Since you have the phone always handy, cameras were bound to reduce.  The specs on this phone are not bad.

As for each variation of phone you'll buy, there will be quirks.  If your aim is to buy the latest and greatest, go right ahead.  But don't bet against MS because you believe its not the hottest gadget.  I remember a coworker bashing MS and Windows NT years ago.  He currently works for MS.

I'm betting against Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO.  It has been on HIS WATCH that this BAD DECISION to get rid of Windows Phones.
