++ 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 +

    Here we go again - 

    The only market exceeding 1% is Vatican City which is essentially a small town surrounded by Rome; truly a mobile OS colossus!!

    On the other hand, here in the USA, I'm starting to get a website or two telling me that the Windows Edge browser on my Lumia (which has been kept updated) is an old version no longer supported by their operation.

    Oops - with all the gamemakers that are still plugging away, does that mean I don't have to worry about getting real work done?? If only to pay my cell phone bill??

    • Windows (10) Mobile is strongly represented in Vatican City State (over 2.6% market share), followed by Argentina (over 0.9%) & the big markets are still there with Italy (0.55%), the United Kingdom ( 0.38%), Germany (0.34%), France (0.27%)  & Russia (0.5%) placing Windows Mobile on the radar. In the USA Windows Mobile is the 0.07 agent (%) //

    ++ it has been a real surprise to see that EXTREME DEVELOPERS have developed a solid Armada-style game portfolio & supported Windows Mobile devices all the way through 2019 ++ MS Mahjong offers an accessible way to boost your XBOX points (a Microsoft Mobile casual game that is close to its PC version) ++ for those who like racing there is the SBK2016 official app & many legacy tracks can be explored ++

    Very happy he admitted at least some part of the truth. Maybe there will be time when he will acknowledge more.

    But it was certainly more than just that.

    Unfortunately, it all got quite personal at the highest level of management back then. I think it lead to a series of non-optimal decisions, and what happened with mobile was just an echo of that.

    They should not have pulled out back then from mobile even if they were shutting down the hardware mobile department (but this was wrong to do too).

    They could continue as a 'software' company in mobile, many OEMs had excellent suggestions and more would come if there would be a promise of stability.

    W10M is still (!) the bestmobile OS and should be resurrected!

    Ideally as a 'tuned' variant of the full W10.
