I agree with much of what you said.and then Befiores comment.he must never have gone into any of the phone storesbecause during MOST of windows phones life (regardless of iteration), you could almost never find them in the storesor they were relegated to the back tiny corner with next to no supportand most of the folks in the store would either tell you bad thing about the phone (not truly knowing the truth or having any experience or training in the phopne whatsoever), or push you to either android or iPhones. why microsoft could not do it? Not true. They had huge volume of insiders giving them feedback for free. He has not changed his mind of that, just regretting that he did not pay closer attention to the phone base.

Let's go back to Windows Millennium - remember how it was a new exciting release and that, even though it sucked, they had service packs coming that would usher in a whole new user experience. Not much progress for all your efforts! Android and iOS are, right now! The mobile division was a money pit that was unlikely to turn a profit anytime soon (ifever); Bellifore even said that they had a PAY developers to make WP apps.

I guess I hold a mobile phone and NOT a smart phone in my hand within long when all apps are discontinued. So Nutella just let down windows phone to focus on developping a bunch of Skype bots that nobody talk with?

Silverlight, WindowsRT, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Microsoft Band, Skype (Consumer End), Windows Phone, Nokia, Windows 10 Mobile, and now Groove and we could probably read the tea leaves to see what's next. basically anyone on Windows was using MS services, so transfer to new product which would not be compatible with old system would be easy for them.

It isn't the guy digging for gold who gets rich, but rather the guy that sells the shovel.

I am staying with my April 2017 Lumia 950XL (UK) till it no longer works. I think Microsoft should at least try to listen to us once.. Before abandoned windows phone platform totally.. You blame us not to buy you phone..
