++ 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 +

    • Microsoft Launcher does not launch MS Edge, Windows Mobile, brand loyalty, Microsoft heritage. Can launch some important apps adapted for other platforms & can be a testing ground for future purposes. Windows (10) Mobile is simply Windows & this has great significance : I have still a lot to learn about Windows & for me it is enough a Lumia line launch in a 3-5 year timeframe. The average smartphone users renew their collection at approximately 2.9 years, so Windows Mobile users can improve this record : at least this is possible //

    • F1 helps us to see better the strategy error that has decelerated the development of Windows 10 mobile // more than a decade ago Microsoft has enjoyed approximately 50% market share in a beginner smartphone market (we can compare it to Mercedes performance in the Fangio racing time) // so Microsoft has this extraordinary leader threshold in mind (when aims to a satisfactory market share) // the reality is that a market share between 10% - 20% is profitable in a competitive smartphone market & a market share beyond 5% is sustainable & even with a handful of % a company can be relevant, especially when there is a stellar integration with other devices in the Windows 10 family // 

    ++ I have seen the development of Mercedes in F1 both with the factory team & the 20 year alliance with McLaren. From these examples I know that competition can be beautiful, needs perseverance & fosters overall success //

    • these are difficult times especially for the  Anniversary update 1607 // certainly if an update decreases performance, then this should not be pushed on the unsupported devices // we are hoping for support & the fixing of these issues with the Outlook Mail & Calendar apps & also there are design adaptation issues with the MS store // these problems remind me Mercedes competitiveness from 2012 & the middle of the 90s with McLaren // CFORDG has had some solutions & we can still use the browser //

    Same thing happened with the same app in August and before that in February this year. Draw your own conclusions about how much Microsoft care about their own Mobile platform and then think again about the chances of it's revival.
