++ 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 +

It's about perception not reality, apple have built their entire business on that quirk of human nature without, apparently, understanding it.
And microsoft and apple dont harvest data? At least google is up front t about it
No apps=no platform
ok, and if wishes were horses beggars would ride. I go back to an earlier comment:- if we want MS to change their minds we have to give them a good business reason to do so and that is a mountain of a problem given where we are starting from; a long thread on this forum with various conflicting views does not take us there - fun though it may be.
Chriskagunda's kind words on my post summed it up better than I: we have become inseparable from our mobile phones and the first company that takes this on board may well be able to gain market share, Apple had it by default but seem to be giving it away because they don't recognise it, Samsung have never taken that approach, Pixel seem to be going in the right direction but Google don't have a good rep because their business model is to harvest data. Perhaps the application of this is where MS can find room to move forward - but they will take a LOT of convincing and so would I in their shoes.
