++ 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 +

    • the F1 app team has been not polite because it cut the app from many who in fact had paid versions & of course they will put it back when there are enough playing & paying clients (the same story with banks) // I am not optimistic & I hear the famous "too low terrain" sound for Windows 10 mobile & but still hope that this CEO will find success also for Windows Mobile (the alternative is that it will be the CEO who let a Windows OS disappear & this is not a good thing) // save it because it is worth precisely more than GitHub or AI projects, which help you be so futuristic that you will be unable to turn the lights on by yourself // & back to your question:  we are the users, who like Windows 10 mobile & want to max its potential (maybe basin is in this category, but has a concealed base) // users can signify also developers, company officials, maybe the CEO, who knows...

    I would assume, there are always people who gets tiered to use one or other product or device. There could be always chance for MS to get increasing attention on the market (theoretical). Since now-days MS phones are pretty rear/unique, which gives them additional value. It is not easy to buy one, you know!

    I've recently bought my "new" MS phone, that works great even with continuum (and it is so cool), there is only some thousands of all around the word! (Szilard would probably tell us some nice metaphor about this like to buy BMW or Mercedes versus Bugatti, but he may select makes more carefully I assume)

    And yes, my phone is pretty much alive as long UWP-Apps are developed, which I assume will remain for a while, since UWP is essential part for Windows 10, Windows S on PC and on always connected devices. Even my Lumia 640 gets some new apps. Unless MS also drops UWP and replaces it completely with Xamarin (again Szilard shell give us some metaphor)

    Does someone know how many Alcatel idol 4 pro and/or Lumia 950 was produced in total? It would nice to see those information on wiki.

    And yes, I'm almost sure we will see some future MS phone with some Windows variant. Or Lean phone with "Cloud Windows" or "Streaming Windows" who knows.

    My three phones show how much i liked it. Liked it better with 8 than 10, which on both pc and my old (very old) 950, is just a mess. (Can we just choose a stable release and stay with it?)

    No more. My Pixel 2 XL blows that 950 out of the water. Its not even close. I'm hard pressed to even call a Lumia a mobile phone in comparison. No joke. I pulled that 950 out of the box, and cranked it up. I can't print, can't stream, no banking app. Oh, has Onedrive gotten worse?  Its slower than before. 

    I updated the OS. Only took like three lifetimes. Updated the apps. Some disappeared. 

    Video quality is lacking on the 950, especially with anything with fast movements. 

    Camera is showing its age. Sound is ok. A bit tinny, but ok.
