++ the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones is discontinued, but many of them are still in action and competitive. In my opinion, the timing for their launch alongside the first versions of Windows 10 mobile has been a problem (later versions of Windows 10 mobile are more competitive). I compare the path of Microsoft Lumia phones with the path of Mercedes F1 Team. If you have perseverance, you can win, but you need to have realistic intermediary goals. You must not be number one from the start, but rather be on the field, with competitive, distinctive devices (1% market share can be achieved with the core fans of Microsoft Windows). 1% is not a small number of users & translates to even more when we focus on Windows users. So my question is for Microsoft & fans // is it possible to continue the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumias for the fans of the brand & Windows ? // ++  #theWindowsthatneversleeps +

    all PureView cameras have worked powered by Windows Mobile, so at least say thank you for the impressive, innovation-driven OS

    Pureview was developed by Nokia for Symbian OS and debuted on the Nokia 808. I have one and it still is amazing. Now it's going back where it belongs, to a team which knows what to do with it.

    No involvement, let alone innovation whatsoever from MS in this project and it took Windows Mobile years to get to a stage where it could properly support the Pureview technology (the 950/XL devices), even the Lumia 1020 was a compromise due to the limitations of Windows Phone OS.

    • HMD Global reportedly now acquired the ownership of PureView & maybe this is a good news in the long run for Windows 10 mobile
    • maybe we will have many great OEMs powered by Windows 10 mobile ++ 

    HMD Global produces Android phones under the Nokia brand, and acquiring Pureview is great news for Nokia fans. Completely irrelevant for the dead Windows 10 Mobile.

    No OEM is stupid enough to design hardware for a dead OS.

    I'm done. This OS is dead, with our without the Surface tablet that folds down. There is zero chance of any Windows Mobile system being anything more that a joke.

    You mean the Twitter page that no one has posted to in almost two years? Or the Google + pages that are simpy ads for IT services? Yep thats exciting. 

    I have just read two reports that wrote how all support for the mobile OS is expected to end in December 2019. Uhh. That is so exciting. I am on the edge of my seat. 

    So a fresh feeling for an app is what, that it actually works? That would be exciting now, right? BTW, who here using a Windows phone can print from a variety of printers from said phone? No? The hell you say! 

    And yes. The Microsoft mobile OS is just like an F1 car. But only if the automaker decided not to add such basics as doors, tires, brakes, a steering wheel, windshield, engine, A/C, battery. Hood ornament, cup holders, seats, a trunk, radio, or keys. I wanted to go longer, i ran out of parts.

    And yes, i sympathize with Windows Phone users who want their phones to, oh i don't know, work? Well, sympathy is a bit much. Maybe more like a shrug and a rolled eye.
