++ the future of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones ++

As you probably know, the Azure division is linked to cloud services without being dependent on the workplace - or cellphone - OS environment. Two years ago, MS reps were making presentations at industry events demonstrating cloud services and most of them were using either iOS or Android devices to show what could be done; no one was saying that the systems would run better or even at all on a WINDOWS phone.

I'll keep my Lumia until I have to let it go, but the sound you hear is me not holding my breath.

• it is a fact that Windows 10 mobile strategy is in a nose dive & one of the effects (maybe a surprise for some company officials) has been the complete abandonment of UWP apps (both mobile & PC) by some important businesses ++ the current CEO has made a goal in the company that there is a need to transparency & the courage to openly speak up with arguments & yet when the leadership has made the strategic decision to pull strategic support from the mobile division, almost nobody had the courage to say no (so it had become a shame for a company official to hold a Windows Phone)

++ in my opinion the vital thing from Microsoft's perspective is the capability to manufacture Windows Phone + Windows Mobile devices with the achievement of a profit ++ if they achieve this goal, then market share is very much secondary ++ so you need a factory that can be profitable or in other words a dynamic factory that can scale output in relation to demand

++ Windows (10) Mobile (Windows Phone) devices are primarily a precious synergy backup for UWP & provide the ultimate Windows experience (in terms of market share they can compete, when they will have a comparable infrastructure to the other vendors ++ after all the company has not to be afraid from a very competitive smartphone market (F1 comparison), in which the top three vendors range between 12% - 20% ) //

What Microsoft is doing at present I like the concept giving us updates every 6 months but want to see something more innovative.

(for Chris : one of the great benefits is that you can install apps & games directly to the SD card)

Only if the app allows it, i.e. if the developers have designed it like that. Many apps and games can only be installed to phone memory.

In Kenya, Microsoft supports many community projects and we will be steadfast behind them. I'll snap a 950 XL without blinking an eye and campaign to all my close associates to do the same.
