++ 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 +

    • that is a great experience, but many Android versions simply do not have the possibility to upgrade to a newer version & after their flagships had had problems with overheating many phones do not have battery pit-stop chance. Although quality is not a sure thing, there are still batteries available at online retailers for Windows Phones (looks like phones running version 1709 have fewer problems with app functionality after the updates).

    ++ Windows Phone 8 will no longer receive new apps from November 2018 & existing apps do not receive updates from summer 2019 // I think the users should get some incentives to switch to new Windows Phones. 

    ++ btw, if Mercedes AMG F1 had stopped the development in 2012, then the team would have missed its tremendous success. // at least #ThinkTwice #ThinkmanyTimes //

    As usual, your post makes absolutely no sense. 

    Yes, some older phones are not upgradeable. Nor should they be. Old tech, low memory. They still work. Shall we talk about how Microsoft pushed the kill switch on phones in the past? If we are talking battery heat, look no further than the 640 and 950 Windows phones. And shall we mention over heating issues caused by Windows Mobile OS updates?

    Again, what new phones? There isn't any. 

    I assume that Mercedes and AMG want to continue in the car industry, correct? Microsoft has no interest in making phones. Its over. I'll bet there will not be a Surface foldable device before December 2019, which, BTW, is when all support for current Windows Mobile phones will likely end. Boy, think that may be a coincidence?

    • it is a great thing that // rbasin // still tests a great Lumia (btw let's hope the advanced cooling system still works). Today I have learned that the initial plan was to reach 15% market share by the end of 2018 (well approximately 1% has been achieved from that goal).

    ++ it could be that the new leadership is not committed to the future of Windows Mobile ++ that would be a great mistake. Now stocks are up, but there is the biggest bull market in history & when the bear market comes maybe it will not be such a great picture //

    ++ CEO Ballmer has increased profitability & that is an important indicator, so again could be that he is right, that we need more than cloud to be competitive on planet Earth. // there has to be a continuity between the CEOs, the new can learn from the past & make things better // 

    ++ I once have heard, that in order to be effective, the constitution has to live in the hearts and minds of the citizens ++ so, if Windows 10 mobile is an important part of our Mobile Constitution, then the fans have to protect it in this existential time for its future //

    You know Balmer is gone, right? For five years almost?

    Oh No ! Did he not move to the AMG Mercedes F1 team ? Or was it the NBA ? I'm so confused.....
