++ 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 +

    Dear,

    I understand your point of view, & I saw that you are a valuable person In this community from your profile but there is a point here & that is " Expectations " I'm not talking about the time any person understood the end of support thing, I'm talking about a loyal customer which has always enjoyed working with Microsoft products & services & advertised a lot.

    From my point of view " Decision is made " is not appropriate sentence from a global corporation in the scales of Microsoft. if I think so it may mean that my Expectations from Microsoft is super high ! 

    Phone is the most frequently used Device that every person deal with every day & this decision will remove some major repetitive Microsoft Environment feelings & affects for the ones who love to continue working with it ( since others already switched to other platforms )& it may lead to affect on other services view of these customers. ( Even Cloud ! )

    We actually doubled our efforts to inform our worries to Microsoft since we even couldn't believe it's really happening...

    That's why we have got hope about what we are insisting...

    Thanks for your time

    • as a user I appreciate the EdgeHTML engine & maybe it will remain active for Windows 10 mobile & maybe so if the new Chromium-based Edge does not achieve the projected market share on the rival mobile platforms, the Windows (10) Mobile community may have a path to success & continuity

    ++ https://mspoweruser.com/zune-comes-to-the-rescue-of-broken-windows-phone-8-1-store/ as this article shows there are over 400'000 active Windows Phone 8.1 devices (more than the population of Iceland) & we know from NETMARKETSHARE that there are up to 7X more devices running Windows 10 mobile & as such this is an important user base ++ it is true however that the company's mobile strategy has lost momentum & vanished or it is concealed //

    ++as many UWP  (news) apps switch their status to MIA (missing in action), the users can select & appreciate more what is actually working & the working apps & games can max your phone & SD card memory (so you still need to do a selection)

    ++ to sell these mint devices it is certainly possible at online retailers & prices can be harder to achieve due to the existing negative press, but I think long term the value of these vintage devices can be higher (even though the feeling can be on short term that they are running out of time) ++ users still apreciate Windows (10) Mobile https://mspoweruser.com/a-new-security-update-hits-windows-10-mobile/ comments leave place to NO (additional) COMMENTS //

    • as apps like Fox News or NBC News official apps are no longer available in the MS store, a solution might be for Windows Mobile users a signing up to the news organizations' newsletters, which really works (of course the apps are still working on Windows Mobile versions if you own them or have had a backup)
    • the fb app family leaves Windows 10 mobile & after they are solving all their issues with regulators can come back one day (maybe as PWAs like twitter did) ++ if you cannot find third party apps, still the users can rely on MS edge ++

    ++ still impressed by the many apps available for Windows Mobile (just filter down the store to the mobile category & this ARM arm is really impressive & deserves to be saved)

    ++ finally hope that Microsoft Lumia will learn from Rocky Balboas lesson of "keep moving forward"

    • great answer, but Volkswagen has evolved & to this day it is clearly in the top 5 manufacturers (with Toyota, Hyundai, GM & Ford) & has plans to go electric also (really hope that Microsoft Lumia will embrace 5G when the time is right)

    ++ as citizens of the global village it is very important to have a (or more )+ sheriff(s) in town & it is very important for the world to have an empowering message from the White House (I like the clear, strong statements of VP Pence on foreign policy trough which democratic principles are reinforced) //
