++ 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 +

    ++ August 2022 update of encouraging news ++

    ++ the legacy MS Edge browser handles the MSN sites well & so all the apps such as MS News that rely on MSN sites are working well (for many weeks this was not the case)

    ++ there has been a huge update for one of the leading car games on Windows phones, the NITRO Nation Drag & Drift.

    ++ probably the best football game on Windows phones is the << SCORE: WORLD GOALS >> & Windows phone enthusiasts can find valuable soccer lessons

    ++ among the XBOX apps I use mainly the Wordament & the rankings are working ++

    ++ there are still many weather apps, dictionaries, map apps, news apps & games (e.g. SPARKLING SOCIETY titles) to use the 8GB/ 16 GB or 32 GB Windows phone basic storage.

    ++ it's possible to look after keywords like basketball, fitness & try to find legacy or even modern resources.

    I agree. I've been a Microsoft customer and fan for decades. Was disappointed when the Nokia 1020 and tablet Nokia 2520 were abandoned in Windows 8.1. That camera in the 1020 was awesome. Even used by a National Geographic photographer. I sent a letter in 2016 to Satya Nadella regarding a low offer to trade in for the Lumia 950XL Memorial Weekend. Did not receive a reply from him or a staff member. Now the Lumia 950 is being abandoned but the Windows 10 Mobile OS is still being supported. However, companies are abandoning it and their apps will no longer work. Adobe, Fandango, Imdb, Wells Fargo, Geico, McDonalds, etc. Sad, perhaps if Microsoft assured them it is still being supported they would not abandon.

    Even the my AT&T app does not work and I bought the phone from them! Ridiculous. Thoughts?//++:(

    There are reasons the 1020 and 2520  stayed at 8.1.

    The Lumia 950 is supported.

    ++ I think the new leadership failed to embrace the Lumia brand (it is a great brand & has been not cheap to aquire). They have still time, but the path is not promising at the moment. Added to the sad list, the official F1 app is not working anymore on Windows 10 (including PCs). Hope that there will be millions of fans who will resist & not abandon the Lumia ship // Maybe it will turn to a submarine. //
