- a great video about train stability : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_52LxCN3KE0 // you can play millions of videos on your Windows Phone & you have many thousand great apps & it is my opinion that Windows 10 mobile is better year after year in all the main areas of smartphone competitivity //
++ the future of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones ++
++ 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 +

++ Windows 10 mobile has made one realistic attempt to really scare the competition. In 2015 (a year when Messi won the Champions League) they really provided a challenge (but without Continuum - like Barcelona in the Champions League).
++ the reinforcing effect of Windows Phone on the UWP is significant (e.g. mobile banking apps are disappearing from the UWP, because mobile is important in this field )
++ the slogan of Microsoft Lumia 435 has been "never compromise" & I think with a complete Windows ecosystem the company can afford that slogan effectively in order to promote its value system & vision //
++ maintaining hobby branches shows company strength (indirect benefits are important & also keeping in action the hope, which generates vision & future development)

+ Samsung is set to score a foldable smartphone entry & I think before Microsoft follows that lead, it would be great to launch a strengthened Lumia line // this can help reinforce Windows 10 users & aid Bing & Microsoft Edge //
++ the company could launch a Lumia line every 3 or 4 or 5 years, profiting from the sustainability of these devices // a clear differentiation feature can be sustainability (with a thorough service process & providing a well adjusted supply of removable spare parts, e.g. covers, batteries ) //
++ it would be interesting to know that from the 100+ million Lumias manufactured how many are in action (it could be over 20 million) ++ as a statistical data the global smartphone market is approximately 2.5 billion //

- a big - for Ballmer, because the Los Angeles Clippers does not have an app in the Microsoft store, although their city rivals still have one //
- as in F1 is better to have more engine manufacturers & teams, so in the smartphone market is better to have more competition, more incentives for innovation //
