++ the future of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones ++

++ I have played recently some city building games on Windows phone ++ these are great, because you cannot lose : as a result you will have a town, a city, a resort or a metropolis (Sparkling society games work also offline : Town City, City Island 4/5, while City Mania from Gameloft needs connection) ++ & then I have heard that a part of an app like Tik Tok can cost much more than the entire Windows phone investment & from that we can conclude that Windows phone could have been saved ++

• as you know F1 cars do not have the standard features of road cars (e.g. doors). As for issues like printing problems, be inventive put your document in the cloud & download to your favorite device or use a data cable or email, then you can print even in 3D. The fans have to see what can perform the Windows Phone & only after that to dream about the road back into the future //

• important update for Anniversary update edition of Windows 10 mobile // I have been thinking that an externalization process, which supports Windows 10 mobile can be + if they invest the appropriate performance in it // I emphasize the fact that if the company says that this is a phone that works like your PC, then if this OS disappears, the PC version can be in big trouble in 5-10 years // Windows cannot go extinct, after all it is Windows // & from a strategic point of view you have to maintain Windows Mobile as a tactical unit & a kind alternative to the fans //

• I still have some hope that Windows 10 mobile will survive. It would be very disappointing for Microsoft to lose in this competition with a KO // one thing is a bronze medal, maybe silver in some education or business segments (with perseverance gold is not on another planet) & another thing is to lose without showing personality // one thing is sure, the Windows 10 mobile OS is better year by year // of course, market share is lower when there is a collection of all the possible marketing strategy errors //  

the benchmark for + result for Windows Phone should be a 10% market share // you see there are a couple versions of android (5,6) with great market share, but with limited support // step by step with perseverance success is possible, but you have to be in the race //

I only recently learned that Microsoft was dropping Windows Mobile. Now I am sure most of us got into that market eyes wide opened and knowing perfectly well that this was never going to be as big as IOS or Android - and this very reason + the fact of its OS practicality, features and perfect integration into our Surface Pros/ Windows 10/ OneDrive were the very reason we invested in the first place. 

Once again Microsoft shows its inherent lack of dedication and care to its consumers. That thry drop Windows Mobile for lack of market share should be no surprise, but were they seriously expecting another outcome? This mobile device was always geared for businesses and knowledgeable individuals. Should I trust Microsoft to carry on producing hardware like XBOX or Surface? Having ben stung already I don't think I'll be going back for more thank you. Why can't the company simply cater for its small market share and work hard and adapt it strategy at growing it. Its a simple age old business practice. Such a large and powerful company not showing the capacity or willingness to do so is IMO a very poor reflection on the company's corporate culture and leadership. If the market is not big enough Microsoft just drops its existing fans and consumers. Well sorry Microsoft, but to be in the market, well, you have to be in the market.

Question: what will happen when IOS decides to develop an IOS to run PC's?! Isn't Microsoft worried about loosing its business base?

Lesson learned, I won't be replacing my Surface Pro (1st gen) on Lumia 950 (which equates to min. €1300.00 lost revenue per customer). Sad day for Microsoft fans.
