    The best alternative maps apps for Windows 10 Mobile in a post HERE world

    Here again we see a result thats caused by Micrsosoft own ****ery. Like they stated in the blog, they would have to re-write the whole app for Windows 10, so they are pulling it. Microsoft has done this several times with WP. They start over, they make changes that essentially need tohers to...

    "Something that will blow your mind" what do you think this could be

    No no no I got this!!!! Steve Jobs didnt actually die, Microsoft just hired him and they faked he's death! No that the non competition clause is over, Steve will be officially joining the MS ranks. First release will be the wPhone (a.k.a. Windows Phone 1.0!!! wow amazing)

    "Something that will blow your mind" what do you think this could be

    Microsoft has decided to name their mobile OS Windows Phone(again). Next version will be Windows Phone 9. they will actually start over again, new core coded from the ground up. Also they are calling people to join to their beta test program and start this mobile revolution with them. What the...

    Is MS giving up?

    They might not been aware when they bought it, they though "oh the new Nokia Lumia" and got it. But they for sure knew it was that Windows Phone by the time they got rid of it. So many questions and a lot of talk why cant I get that or do this. Speaking from my experience what Ive seen around me...

    I hope they release other browsers to WP soon. But they probably wont, they killed the metro Firefox also, is there even others in development?

    Is MS giving up?

    Yes of course, but thats not the point here. If you got them to visit the platform and they left out of disappointment, it will be hard to get them back. Great that its only Finland, a small country no one cares about, but the problem still exists. If someone tries or has tried WP, it lacks...

    Is MS giving up?

    Like I wrote I live in Finland. We (I think) actually had the highest market share for Windows Phone. This has since plummeted. The main reason being, that people were disappointed in their devices and the user experience. It was lacking in many way, we cannot disagree on that Im sure. Facebook...

    Is MS giving up?

    I agree with you on many of your points, but not here. I have to say that comparing this to iPhone is not a good one. Market has changed since the launch of iPhone. iPhone sold more units every year since launch and on the 5th year 120 million units. The difference in that perspective alone is...

    Is MS giving up?

    Well see and if it's around in what form. If its just an OS that scales to a smaller screen, but no one actually uses a phone with it, does that mean its still alive. Nadella said Windows Phone is not sustainable with market share that is has now. Will the market share change soon? I doubt...

    Is MS giving up?

    No, there you are wrong. Microsoft isnt doomed. they just messed up their chance with Windows Phone, their mobile platform. Is the company doomed? No, I dont think so. But for them to get their OS in to decent amount users, they blew it. If you dont see it, I dont know, are you a ******...

    Is MS giving up?

    Yes, but my point was I bought every app possible I thought might help me, and some even that I didnt need out of support, and still was lacking functionality and was always doing things with workarounds. My device was not smart, or as smart as the other devices seemed to be. I still think...

    Is MS giving up?

    I suggest that on their deal Nokia took Microsoft forcefully and not even payed for dinner. The main points where that I know what you are saying, but actually doom and gloom has been right since. It looks worse to WP now than it did 2 years ago. Even less users, more time gone and money spent...

    Is MS giving up?

    That and other apps in the store. The functionality just wasnt there 6 months ago. always when trying to do something, it wasn't possible. Like sending the scan as attachment. Or maybe when you scanned a document you wasnt able to add a page in between. Depending on app and situation, always...

    Is MS giving up?

    Even the dumb phones Nokia forced MS to buy are doing horrible. http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/240266/prediction-smartphones-to-dominate-mobile-world-b.html?edition= Wow Nokia really sold so much useful plants and infra to Microsoft its amazing. 7 billion? I love the board of...
