++ 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 +

    ++ thanks for the great IBM/ Lenovo comparison ++ & now prepare for over 20 billion $ spent on part of a social media app (best would have been to let the market free & solve the security concerns regarding the data & they just could have built an app from the base ++ but they are like Barcelona FC in the last seasons : the soccer team did not use its youth academy & instead they relied on costly transfers & the results were absent on the international stage) ++ as for the Microsoft Lumias running version 1709 : they are still great smartphones (especially those with 800+ Qualcomm processors) ++ the situation could be nice until January 2021, when the Office apps reach end of support + Power BI also receives support & the phones are a great gaming console, whether you prefer action, racing, logical, etc games ++ the phones still perform the great majority of their optimal workload (there are alternatives for many of the discontinued third party apps & this phone is a useful device, at least for media consumption or as a backup & a great piece of smartphone history ++ every CEO comes with his or her cultural background package & in the current Microsoft leadership term we have seen costly & discontinuous pragmatism & a phasing out process of the company heritage) //

    +  I have liked this support action for the Anniversary update & I think Windows 10 mobile really gets competitive in device sustainability & product cycle management // "stay tuned" great endeavor  📱 ![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/feeeb00f-88ee-4466-a57f-d03c4eb72bd9?platform=QnA

    • F1 helps us to see better the strategy error that has decelerated the development of Windows 10 mobile // more than a decade ago Microsoft has enjoyed approximately 50% market share in a beginner smartphone market (we can compare it to Mercedes performance in the Fangio racing time) // so Microsoft has this extraordinary leader threshold in mind (when aims to a satisfactory market share) // the reality is that a market share between 10% - 20% is profitable in a competitive smartphone market & a market share beyond 5% is sustainable & even with a handful of % a company can be relevant, especially when there is a stellar integration with other devices in the Windows 10 family // 

    ++ I have seen the development of Mercedes in F1 both with the factory team & the 20 year alliance with McLaren. From these examples I know that competition can be beautiful, needs perseverance & fosters overall success //

     ++ I think a Windows (10) Mobile relaunch can succeed if the company has a competitive product, an encouraging price strategy, a promotion strategy that highlights the strengths & a comprehensive distribution strategy. If the company can figure out this puzzle, then they can win important market share.
