How long before Microsoft just kills the entire product line?

Since they didn't announce a new flagship phone in October I'm assuming they will keep the product line on life support for a year or so. They are gauging how many elite x3 phones hp can sell to determine the enterprise market for the phone.

Rumours says they will probably rebrand windows phone to surface phone some time in the future.

They already killed it.

It's undead.
>How long before Microsoft just kills the entire product line?
When the fel energies that keep it going dissipate.

for endusers, yes. they still can have blackberrys spot in the corporate world, if they won't fuck up bad, but i think they will fuck up.

Only ameriburgers use Blackberry.

I honestly wish Windows Phone was viable, there are too many UX problems with Android.

mine still works.

shit, is Windows Phone really dying? I always wanted one of those lumia phones.

Zombie?

Went from lumia 920 to oneplus3 in august because of no apps. Android feels like an absolute mess, I really miss the uniform appstyle wp have and the good stock apps. Im seriously considering going back to my 920, if it weren't for snapchat.

>How dead is Windows Phone?

The apps in the app store are fossils, and there are barely any of them. We recently got instagram and starbucks.

Microsoft might quit smartphones if they get a new CEO. Nadella probably won't do it because it would hurt his ego.

If snapchat is seriouslythe thing stopping you from going to a winphone, you should rethink your priorities in life.

Is interesting that Sup Forums users use Linux on their PC and Windows on their phone.

Anybody thinking about the Windows phone should consider their worth and realize they deserve better.

More like Windows on their computer and Google on their phone.

they will reboot it in 2019 with intels new low power socs

Hurry up and buy.

Office Depot, Staples, Target, and Walmart no longer have 640 on their sites. Best Buy has it but it's been saying no longer in stores and online intermittently.

I want one just because of how rare they are, seems pretty good for $30 or less too.

I bought a Nokia Lumia 640 LTE in mint condition from a seller on Mercari for about $25.

unlocked?

Long time WP user here. What apps am I actually missing? Pokemon go and every dollar budgeting app are only ones I can think of.

Yeah, I use android now, and I really don't feel any difference with using WP and android.
It's just I hate m$'s direction and choose to not support them anymore.

NY police use them for duty:

Windows phone is dead as of 8.1. Now everything runs Windows 10. The PC, Xbox, and phone. The Lumia is also dead. The brand is due to go back to Nokia in the next year or so. That was always the plan.

Windows 10 universal apps make life easier for devs. Win32 is depreciated, but around because legacy. With luck, it will be a memory by 2020.

The surface phone was at EV3 and had a test production run of about 1500 units. The Nokia happened and the project was shelved. The internal code names were Maya and Tamara.

I never got to play with Tamara, but Maya was a decent device. It felt good in the hand, and I lad a Lumia 1520 at that time.

Microsoft did the worst thing ever to their most potential customer, the loyal nokia userbase, by completely killed BOTH meego and windows phone 7 while promoting heavily on the latter, which is dogshit, and even worse, they have the gall to announce that they killed wp7 while announcing new phones on it. They leave the worst ever FIRST IMPRESSION to their own market by betraying their most fanatic nokia fanboy who spend dollars for an OS that is dead on arrival (meego & wp7)

This.

I am one of those poor souls who bought lumia 900 for nearly 600 $, a week after i bought it, news start pouring around that wp7 cant be upgraded to wp8. Jesus christ they literally fucking nokia fanboys like me in the ass

It's already dead. There will not be another Windows Phone from Microsoft.

Windows Phone WAS okay. Then Windows 10 Mobile appeared and shit was a rollercoaster
>buys a 630 brand new for just $30
>w8.1 is fast
>announces w10m insider builds
>gets it because microsoft removed the phone from the supported list
>it actually works and quite well, and it improves with each update
>go back to w8.1 just to make sure if there was an actual impact on battery life
>now I can't get on w10m because Microsoft also removed my device from the supported insider list

Fuck Microsoft. Phone was alright but they killed it. Using my old Moto G1 and planning on upgrading to a Moto G4

And forgot to mention, Microsoft is killing the store so now shit is even more empty than before
