        What a pity. From 4.5 millions Lumia in 2015 dropped all the way down to less than a million in 2016. When people say Microsoft is declining I thought around 5-10% decline. But 81% decline!! Wow! Just wow! That decline is no joke.

                        These are the final days of Windows 10 for phone (in short: WP).
                        This is a dead OS, it will disappear soon. MS will cancel the WP project.
                        Signs are everywhere.

                                  Windows 10 mobile OS is the worst i have ever used. I have to reboot my 950XL daily as it freezes all the time. They need a 32bit OS on these phones like someone mentioned in order to succeed.

                                    But, in all honesty, if we will cherrypick apps there is large difference is sheer number of avaiable apps between platforms. My only point is that you dont need all of them at once. And those that are available are more than capable of doing what they are intended to do.
                                    Thats all.

Because now I see Win10 mobile OS is matured and works fine? Early software releases were not so great and it had bugs, which led to massive backlash on MS. I can confirm that cause I had problems myself with it. But thats now behind us. Every single person I find to bash Win mobile is biased cause they always say it sucks based on past experiences and what it was.

                                      Also, you have to know that there are ppl that dont care that much about games on mobile phones, about Instagram/Twitter/Snapchat and etc..
                                      If ppl would just to try to see thngs as they are now, they would find a good alternative to Android and iOS in MS Mobile..

                                        The Lumia phones are selling for extreme cheap price. So I am not surprised. You can buy good hardware for $30. I don't mind the OS, it's OK.
