No.

Microsoft Mobile is just doing really bad right now. We are all waiting for new devices. Ultimately though, they may never arrive. They have phones that can pretty much rival iOS and Android, in terms of specs. But it lets itself down on features and apps and those are what people really care about.

It continues to get used. It continues to address bugs and develop features. Much of what people need apps for comes either built in or can be done with the browser because the browser actually works. Can it get better? Sure! But the features of the phones are better than rivals. Updates come from MS. Security is extremely good. Biometric access works well and is years ahead of some competitors. Only thing missing is more devices on more carriers and that is coming. Remember that MS focused on the 835 chipset as "next gen" and that chipset is only just barely getting to market. So bit more time and I suspect you'll see a lot more devices along with major OS updates. Good news really, just taking time.
