++ 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 is sure, that there is demand (the production process must be tailored to the size of demand) for the Lumia line (550, 650, 950, 950XL - even Lumia 435 has been a nice road-trip phone) // Microsoft should invest in a hobby in order to have an integrated approach or "completeness of vision" (the Gartner report recognizes Microsoft in this way for its performance in the BI field) //  if Microsoft abandons Windows 10 mobile, then the Windows 10 OS tree loses a branch //

    • at least some + on security // many important apps are still great e.g. twitter, MSN apps, Gameloft gaming, even Bible apps for inspiration in challenging times, w3school //

    I understood the technical reasons but if Microsoft abandons a product with no next generation upgrades, then better incentives should be offered to loyal customers and fans. I invested a pretty good amount of money in devices that became obsolete. The great ship Microsoft sails on but we abandon ship or fork out big bucks for the next great thing. Now the Lumia 950 is receiving update support but many companies don't seem to know that. I wish Microsoft would make it known. The apps are dying, receiving no further updating from the companies. Sadly the Lumia 950 will become nearly useless. The Microsoft Store is offering a trade-in value of up to $350.00 USD to buy the new Samsung S9. You have to go into the store to get the evaluation. I checked with AT&T where I bought it, they are offering $19.00 USD for it lol :(

    Lumia technical structure was, intentionally or accidentally designed as a phone of the future and that is where it should be guided to, instead of being abandoned. I am ready to bet that, in a decade, it can claim its right place, as the best phone in the world.
