++ 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 +

2020-01-11T21:24:11+00:00 I'm mostly upset with the direction the current MS CEO is taking the company. The reason I'm using Linux on my PC right now is because of the issues I'm having with Windows 10 (Linux is on a second drive). There's currently a lot of changes with Windows and Microsoft's services right now, causing tons of issues. The most recent for me was with Mail & Calendar and Outlook Desktop not syncing to the server, Outlook Live works and weirdly, Mail & Calendar is syncing just fine on my Lumia. Right now Windows Continuum is more reliable/useful than full Windows 10.
I hope the "Windows in your pocket" dream comes back. I feel like if Microsoft kept Lumia, ditched W10 Mobile, and instead created a custom launcher and ui for Android instead (one that resembles W10 Mobile). While also having the Microsoft Store on them in addition to the PlayStore, much like the Galaxy Store on Samsungs. It can still be done this way, just not with the Surface Duo though.

2020-01-12T07:27:38+00:00 ++ the Windows 10 experience has tried to be a sort of evergreen tree & for 5 year the users can say that they have a fresh OS (it is true that great apps are disappearing & many updates have caused issues that can be counted as downgrades ++ on the long run the OS feels improved & better & I hope that every new version will solve existing problems & not causes too many new problems)
++ the Surface Duo will be a premium Microsoft android device (a pragmatic move by the leadership to seize market share in the foldable device category) ++ maybe it will be less expensive than the Galaxy Fold, but probably not affordable for the great majority of customers
++ Windows in your pocket for UWP developers & fans maybe will be possible if initiatives like this gain some traction & attention https://www.change.org/p/panos-panay-satya-nadella-panos-satya-give-us-a-microsoft-surface-duo-running-windows-10x?recruiter=664590479&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition
++ Windows 10x has no live tiles & for me this is an important downgrade ++ Windows 10 mobile can be an acceptable choice in 2020 with officially supported great productivity apps, many supported games, top skype, email, calendar services & generally a smart OS that still keeps me motivated (still many social media options to be active) ++ for those who want or need all the customer apps that are ruling the market there are many android options (some brands have some limitations in particular countries, but maybe those concerns will be solved) ++ let the developers bring to action apps on Windows mobile devices ++ people like to have alternatives & to have choice & to choose (like in democracy to choose every year or every 2 years for something better) //

2020-01-25T01:31:51+00:00 ++ Windows 10 mobile still has scored an update in 2020 & that means that a supported Windows Mobile OS still has reached the new decade ++ the users can find an interesting summary on what is working right now http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/item/23447_Status_report_for_April_2019_a.php ++ the users can add to this article many games from many categories & so Windows 10 mobile is a viable platform until the Microsoft Duo experience is launched ++ I am convinced that there is room for other mobile platforms & this mobile OS market will not remain a duopoly for ages (& of course it was a great mistake to abandon the platform, after the majority of great developers were there to perform ++ with a supported platform in place there could have been OEMs to seize the opportunity to have millions of users & devices sold) // I wish that one day the leadership will understand that the mobile race goes on & it was not lost in 2011 (more harm did the mismanaged transition to Windows 10 mobile) //

2020-02-15T17:42:29+00:00 ++ word adventures are still possible with Windows phones : there are useful DICTIONARY & word game apps ; alternative browsers (Blue Sky; Duck Go; 0 mini; Yandex browser to name a few // many of them from 2018-19) ++ for those who like competitive super cars : well do not miss the MCLAREN SENNA on ASPHALT 8 //
