++ 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 +

    your analogy escapes me again, is Lumia the train or Windows 10M, who is driving the train given that MS got off at the previous stop?

    If you've been following this discussion, you'll see that one of the issues with W10 Mobile is the problem with updates killing apps. This happens when either the new code will not support an old app or the developer drops the old app support and moves on to something else.

    The UC Browser is still in the MS Store, but not for mobile. The app is now intended for tablet architecture and variations thereof. I have the app on my Lumia and still use it on occasion although I tend to use Surfy as an alternative to EDGE.

    I had hoped at one point that MS might have a repository for old apps, but I know that is unlikely as one of their reasons for the store was to limit presentation of available apps to those they were confident would run on their current OS platform whatever that might be.

    Sorry 'bout that.

    • according to // statista //, Windows Phone is still around 1% market share in the Russian Federation (the best result had been around 4.5% in February 2016) & in the UK still at least 1 from 200 smartphones are powered by Windows Mobile (best result in December 2015 around 3.65%) // so Microsoft is on the map with only investments in software security, design, consolidation & the UWP apps // 

    P.S. the new company of the Wiley Fox Pro will support the device for 24 months // looks like the launching queues of the competition are somewhat shorter & Windows 10 mobile closes in to the latest OS versions of the competition // you have to be fair play in these tech races, just remember the competition involving the rabbit & the turtle (all useful products should have their place on a free, multi-choice marketplace)

    ++ thanks for your support for the Windows 10 that never sleeps (even BASIN has now reason to celebrate) //

    Exactly!!

    This is precisely the point and line of reasoning some of us have been following; MS well-documented path for future development does not include W10 Mobile and has not for some time. I will hang on to my Lumia as long as it practical to do so, but I will go elsewhere when I have to. Frankly, the Andromeda project that was rumored to have certain cellphone considerations seems less likely to have anything to do with foreseeable telephony hardware and I can't sit back and speculate and run my business on waiting and hoping.

    • what if an improved Windows 10 mobile will be dribbling using skills like Live tiles & Fluent design, with stellar integration with the Windows & Microsoft family  ++ as for new hardware manufacturing facilities, an example could be Goodyear, AZ
