++ 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 +

    Neither devices, nor OS failed as such.

    They have been terminated from development and then from support by Microsoft.

    This is a big difference.

    Go hereand observe for yourself. There is quite a considerable 'bump' around 2014 and the only reason it did not lift off is the utter uncertainty that Microsoft created around the future of the platform. These worries turned real.

    Look at the Android early years. It also had low market share initially, but the licensing model, advertisement and help in writing apps/SDKs won. To remind you how terrible Android and its devices were otherwise initially? Compared to just any version of metro-styled mobile Windows.

    So once again, it did not fail. It was failed, quite intentionally.

    Tell it as it is.... Whatever 93tid reaps from the fall of Window OS must be a wind fall... 1+1 proves it.

    • as the NBA playoffs start, I just have been thinking to spot some new parallels : clearly there are some news, which are not encouraging (some  MS translator app features will take a break & looks like the app itself will be not downloadable for Windows Phones ++ the official presentation of the Lumia line on the Microsoft website is gone, although the user guides can still be found) & I think the situation somewhat looks like the Los Angeles Clippers game vs the 2 time defending champ Golden State Warriors ++ the users can have the tendency to leave early this mobile OS game, just like some Los Angeles Clippers fans would be tempted to leave at the end of the 3rd Quarter ++ but brave users can stay & not forget they have tickets for this game & every nice play or basket is worth to be watched & appreciated //

    ++ PS MS translator is really great, but translation it is possible also trough the browser ; GSM arena still provides a competitive presentation of the Lumia line //
