    SpiritWolf, 10 Sep 2016Ugly OS, You say? I will disagree. Every time I look at And... moreInteresring, but true. I also think we are in 2004 cause everytime i look at android/ios i feel like somebody made fun of Symbian, and wasn't able to develope further then the good old interface. But well, to each his own. Am pretty sure, this people never used symbian. So, does not matter.

      Aspros, 10 Sep 2016It was about time we got ridden any last Nokia remains! Th... moreAnother commet, just to be. Ms's devices are all yeah, cheaply made, yeah, even your 650. Guess you never really touched a Lumia made by Nokia, yet you talked. The 920 is a beast, you can kill a stone with that device. Name me one device in 2012 being so resistive as this one. 925. Metal frame, beautifull design. In fact, one of the best designs in lumia. 930 metal frame, another master from Nokia. 830 metal frame, Superb quality for a good price. Ms lumia 650. Meah, it works, but still can't stand in front of lumia line. In fact, neither ms released device can do that;). Yet, you talked!

        Anonymous, 10 Sep 2016Nokia was going down hill like Blackberry already...If Nokia adopted Android, instead of windows, samsung would have been as it always was: Way behind them! Nokia with symbian started to loose a bit of market. But elop was the one killing the system with no poove windows will succed;). Talking without knowing is like watching a single movie your whole life and claming is the best ever;).

                No one really know what they are planning and going on their track record you will have no confidence in their actions.

                I'm hoping they will update us soon, before they lose more customers....

                  Maybe Lumia its changed by Surface series.

                    We have no idea what's going on behind the scene. Microsoft is said to be good at keeping things under wrap but from marketing viewpoint, they should more tantalize user to show us hope. Same goes for Surface line.
                    As can be seen in their lame ads, they should work out marketing and show their customers good user-experience.

                      Tiles are the most smartest thing in a mobile phone
                      the problem is the difference in UX between ecosystem is the main factor
                      iOS and Android are having 75% UX similarities

                            Lumia is a product that nokia owns and was part of its aquisition of microsoft until 2017. Because its a failed product that microsoft cost them almost 8billions USD. It just a wise choice to stop selling that product. The lay offs of employees, production cost, etc. Its just a phone. But Windows 10 mobile is still alive with other OEMS with HP,ACER etc. Microsoft is preparing for a new product in phone factor. You may called it rebranding but it will have some similarities with HP elite x3 a continuum base smartphone. Because microsoft saw the future that smartphones will power our desktop work of computing. Many have tried in this category of smartphones but failed. But only microsoft got it right and will improve.

                                Unfortunately Microsost's management still don't know that the "icon-based OS" (like iOS-Android or Microsoft's good old Windows Mobile OS) is a first, most important, and is the key feature of all of the OS features... Example 1: The selling records of Windows Mobile 6.5 and older WinMo phones. Example 2: Using Metro design in desktop Windows OS.. Is there anybody to use start menu in awkward and stupid Metro start menu in Windows 8 - 8.1? Please wake up Microsoft...

                                      I can see how really people love windows OS but can't admit it, just look at the comments that stream in whenever there is news about Microsoft or windows OS! For me as I always say I will always Rock a windows OS even if windows phones die, but what I know windows 10 OS is more steps further and believe it will be a future OS. Just give it time. Lumia 950xl user here, I just wish most of you could have a test of this beast and feel what really a true smartphone is!!

                                        I actually do not see MS releasing any Surface phones. The reason? Surface has been at its best, selling like pancakes and competing with iPad. On the other hand, MS phones are in need of bringing some new. What does that mean? Branding MS phones with the Surface brand is a huge risk. The Lumia brand needs a huge make over, which might cause the name of the brand to change. MS trying to motivate other companies to make W10 phones is an excellent direction (HP, Alcatel and more). I am confident MS will turn things around. The phones industry is hard but it is MS!
