I don't believe Microsoft is serious about the mobile phone market. They might want to be a player on the OS side, but not hardware.
I see ads for IPhones everywhere -- Apple ads, carrier ads, and obvious co-op ads. I see ads for Android devised as well -- Nexus, LG, Samsung, Motorola. Same kinds as Apple. I see NO Windows Phone ads -- NONE. Microsoft is AWOL. I don't even see a significant number of Surface tablet ads anymore; I do see ads for the Surface laptop. I see ads for XBox.
I'm going to keep my 928 until I need a replacement, and unless Microsoft demonstrates it's conviction about mobile, it won't be a Windows phone, which saddens me. I like the OS and my current phone hardware; I don't like a player who doesn't play to win (or even stay in the game). They need to learn this isn't about OS licenses on every IBM-compatible PC that's sold -- they need to fight for this market.
