There you go, answered your own question! Sad though. The best mobile OS there is and it's almost dead.

I would question the salesman's knowledge if he tells you it's an app gap problem. Not saying it's a contributor, it definitely is, but that's not the main issue for WP now. If a million new WP apps appeared and covered all the most popular apps you would barely see an uptick in WP sales. Why...

I can't speak for the rest of the world, just the market I am in. I would actually be interested to see what other users around the globe witnessed with WP phone sales tactics and environemnt. I believe sales were climbing in 2013/14/15, what changed in 2016?

No, MS can still comeback but it will take several necessary steps. And after they have given up so much ground it will still be a huge challenge. Make some killer phones. The holy grail 'x86' phone, if possible, would a big plus. Get all their models on all carriers. No exclusives. Make them...

You don't understand the problem if you believe this. There are several factors but the app gap is simply a byproduct of a small user base. In reality, the biggest issue is MS's inability to work with carriers and get all their phone models in all carrier stores. And that has been their issue...

The root reason is very simple and I'm surprised how many users here simply don't understand it. Not that some don't and perhaps this has been mentioned, but the real reason Window's Phone is virtually dead is because 5+ years ago when it had a chance to make a mark it didn't or couldn't get...

My position also.

Huh? This type of misguided belief isn't helping Window's Phone. You shouldn't have to quit your mobile carrier or pretend you don't want more apps to help WP. MS needs to get phones in all brick and mortar stores on ALL carriers so people can buy them. Having to buy them off-contract through...

There's actually a bigger problem, and part of the reason for the app gap, which is MS being unable to get quality phones in all the mobile carriers. Having carrier exclusives of some of the nicer models as well as not being able to get their latest phones on contract killed the WP user base...

Looks like no x86 Surface phone for the foreseeable future. So the market share of WP continues to plunge.

Just ordered a LG V20. If MS had mentioned anything of a X86 processor phone I would have stuck with my old Note 3 until it came out. So after my Lumia 920 I got the Note 3 (close to 2 years ago) and now I am pretty much with Android another 2 years. I guess I still have Launcher Pro 8 so I can...

Sorry for the late response but I am saying you're delusional because you think W10M is doing okay despite their market share having dropped to the point it's now practically irrelevant. And saying the apps are not worse than they were two years ago is crazy. Stagnating for two years isn't a...

Paolo Ferrazza - You sound like a delusional Black Berry fan when their market share had dropped to 3%. The truth is many apps are stopping support for W10M including many popular titles and business apps. Yes some people are putting a few apps and games out, but nothing major. The point of...

W10M is dead. MS had a chance and was going up in market share a few years ago. And then for some inexplicable reason they quit trying to get them into carriers stores and even online many carriers only offered 2 year old phones. I was a Sprint customer who really didn't even have any W10M...

I have to think, have to dream, that MS is doing something to make a x86 6 inch phone that runs Full Windows. If they do that AND get it on all carriers it will be a huge success, But Windows 10 Mobile is essentially dead. No carriers even have them and the number of users that buy phones...
