Had a break from Windows phone for about 8 months. Unfortunately had to switch back to my Lumia 950 XL due to an Android phone accident. I can't believe how poor the Windows Mobile experience still is. I'd love for MS to produce a decent Phone OS. It's so frustrating.

      I love Windows Phone, but no more lumia under MS.
      HP or Alcatel device is the genius option

        Well yeah that's because they abandoned the platform (despite it being hotter than Android in some markets). The reason it went downhill was because they took over design from Nokia and started making phones that weren't as good, simple as. Hell they still don't have a replacement for the 920 that isn't lower spec or a plus phone!

            No surprise there, Microsoft hasn't released anything worthy in two years.

                Most of all people the most advance phone is a Windows phone but it is not really a user friendly phone. But it is the most High-tech phone ever made than our android phones Also it is the most secure phone.

                      As much as I love Microsoft, they should seriously close their mobile division and continue focusing on Cloud, Office, Surface and Xbox. Their upcoming ''Surface Phone'' will fail, even if its own will have x86 Win32 apps through emulation.

                                    Thank you everyone for your comments. If you love windows phone, we the users love you too, if you hate windows phone we still love you.
                                    Any news about windows phones attracts all kinds of people; liars, trolls, honest reviews, competitors paid reviewers etc.
                                    The comment section on news on Windows phones is like a battle ground and very interesting, most other comment sections are boring.
                                    Keep it people, keep it up GSMArena.

                                      I always love MS rich desktop office suite.
                                      Sadly their mobile platform is far from it.
                                      MS online and mobile platform are really mess. They should just focus on desktop.
