++ 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 +
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Nokia Lumia 1020 and 2520 are still on 8.1 update. Don't understand why?
Because they are not supported for Windows 10 Mobile.
But Lumia 950 is now on 10 which is very good
Now ? It was released from the factory on Windows 10 Mobile back in 2015. Did you just wake up from a 3 year long nap ?
I hope they will continue manufacturing the smartphones
Continue ? They stopped manufacturing in 2016, shut down and sold the production facilities - again, have you been in a coma the last 3 years ?
That's what we want to hear...
Sure, I remember DOS; I remember when the first IBM-PC had what looked like a large DIN port in the back for a link to cassette tape players for people who wrote programs in BASIC and stored them on that medium. I remember hacking CONFIG.SYS files to support add-in boards and device drivers. I remember when MS and IBM worked on an operating system together which was known as OS/2. I loved it because it essentially ran WINDOWS 3.1 in a virtual machine when you needed it and when WIN 3.1 crashed, you didn't have to reboot, only had to close the VM and start again.
I could go on with memories, but those don't change the situation we find ourselves in surrounded by crashing and/or unavailable apps and an OS headed for support termination. Just last week I had to call tech support at my bank in response to an email to confirm the future or lack thereof for mobile banking on my Lumia; no app ever again and the future of EDGE isn't all that bright.
As you probably know, the Azure division is linked to cloud services without being dependent on the workplace - or cellphone - OS environment. Two years ago, MS reps were making presentations at industry events demonstrating cloud services and most of them were using either iOS or Android devices to show what could be done; no one was saying that the systems would run better or even at all on a WINDOWS phone.
I'll keep my Lumia until I have to let it go, but the sound you hear is me not holding my breath.
