When in my local 02 store this week I was surprised to notice only 1 windows phone on display, the 650, (I think), the rep told me that only 11 Windows Phones sold this year in their store, 5 returned, all 950,s, so they have been officially withdrawn by them, he did say that Microsoft were bringing something out next year but didn't know what. If they do, they would need to raise the bar big time, if they want a flagship you build the best that's possible, not rocket science, I have the 950xl which while it's good, though very buggy, I prefer and use my Lumia 1520 which I find has an edge certainly camera wise and far superior build quality. The downfall for Microsoft was when they introduced bogof on the 950, that was the deathnell for them, anyone with half a brain at the head of the company knows that once you do that with your own products, your finished, quite literally all your doing is saying to the public, we've screwed up and we can't sell them, here you are!!! Crazy thing to do.
I don't get Microsoft at all, but one thing I do know is, this could be the best platform out there, but as I've said so many times, with Microsoft at the helm it ain't going to work,, it will always be beta, they show no dedication to it's customer base at all, have a dreadful lack of understanding (in my opinion) of the current market and have a sticky plaster culture of sending out half baked updates, software, phones etc etc which in turn doesn't inspire confidence in them, or their products. No one to blame but themselves.
All we can do is hold on and see who brings what to the table.
