++ 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 +

    As I said the IF is pretty large -they've clearly stated they aren't pursuing win10M but have they been so clear about being out of mobile altogether (I ask purely for information) and does that mean no Surface and an end to IOT?

    Their future strategy for mobile is mostly what this thread is (should be) about so putting hopeless  optimism to one side and returning to a previous point: if Microsoft are out of mobile how do they remain relevant to mainstream consumers with most people unlikely to pay for expensive notebooks and tablets when their smartphones do enough or do Redmond believe their future is purely Enterprise with a rump of PC Master Race gamers for beta testing?

     Basically if someone wants to develop a device and have it run BES Blackberry will do the software for them.

    Yes - and so could MS, IF all the other stuff was in place, and I agree its a gargantuan if

    • security patches, bug fixes & functionality improvements are the work of a dedicated team + not forget the many improvements for native apps & there are 2-3 big updates per year & probably one of these updates has helped to have an improved user interface in the Microsoft store app, for example. Try to be more constructive ... sure there are problems because some phones are real endurance devices, but the system showing its best // update for ARM-based Phone-devices sounds great & it is the reality // Qualcomm helps also at Mercedes AMG F1 // have a great Microsoft Lumia learning & entertainment session //

    I'm yet to hear anyone point out any intrinsic malfunctions particular to Windows phones only, that would warrant their termination.

    Errrrm, this very community is full of hundreds of examples, you just need to spend some time reading, including software "updates" which still go wrong every single month even now.
