++ the future of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones ++

++ 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 +

    Uhhh,,, ok. 

    According to Microsoft, they have pretty much lost focus with Cortana, so bye bye.

    Windows mobile is dead. Its dead. Dead. Dead. So if you have a Windows Phone, throw it very hard against the wall. Cause its dead. Not coming back. dead. 

    There is no chance of a new push towards yet another Microsoft Mobile OS. Cause its dead. Dead. Dead. 

    Edge is going away. IE is going away. Nasty rumor that Windows is indeed going towards a subscription based system. Did I mention that Mobile is dead? No? Mobile is dead. 

    The 3 year policy to support hardware is over, so Mobile is dead. What is it? Dead.

    Most of the mainstream support ended, so you can say “Windows 10 Mobile OS” development is dead in the water. But still, anyone can write there own app on UWP even with Visual Studio 2017 and deploy on Windows 10 Mobile device or submit to Microsoft Store. You only have to care to select the minimum target to build 15063. Still plenty device out there. Those devices are unique, rarity.

    The mobile application development on UWP is still one of the easiest you can have! I hope one day UWP or WPF backs even Android and Linux.  The source of WinUI and WPF is already out there on GitHub and we may see an extended UWP (WinUI) and/or WPF over dotnet core soon. Before someone would tell otherwise:  we can uses WinUI on mobile devices Link (see the minimum target).  

    Products Released: Windows 10 Mobile, released in April 2017

    Mainstream Support End Date: 6/11/2019

    Link

    IMO: Windows 10 Mobiles are still almost the easiest to use devices. If there were new devices and stable support behind, I would still recommend it to anyone who can appreciate simplicity. With the fact of missing support I still recommend it to anyone who appreciate rarities 😊

    • I am also disappointed like many Windows fans & users (on Windows Central there are many user views praising the OS) ++ what to do : Join the resistance, because for me it is important to have Windows with me, so waiting for better times is an option (still more Xbox games are available on Windows Mobile than on the rival platforms) ++ I am not an app developer (I would learn the basics on Microsoft Virtual Academy, if there was a supported future), but yes the developers, developers, developers have done a great job with many great apps & games ++ still what the platform offers is more than what it lacks ++ I would consider Windows Mobile as a reinforcer for UWP & let it develop freely ++ of course it is a futuristic hope that one day the upgrade advisor tells me to upgrade to Windows Core OS

    • I have liked the idea that this OS with  0.1% market share of an approximately 2.5 billion market (but with 10s of millions of fans on social media) has such a great media coverage on its home run //
    • a competitive fan video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjVgda9OwKQ // & updates for Office, MS to-do, WhatsApp, Disney Magic Kingdoms and more ++ Live tiles better than static candy crash imitations  // ++ still playing the genuine candy crash saga //
