Positive Windows phone news thread

[nate0]

This is a phone thread, but iTunes won't be on Windows phone though, correct? That would be crazy of apple to do such a thing. Why would they help out MS dying phone?

Probably not on the current mobile device lineup. But if a newer mobile platform comes within a year (Andromeda or New Gen devices of some kind) then it could run on those I suppose.

"Significantly poor hardware specs" most likely aimed at businesses. Interesting none the less.

Its aimed (it would appear) at the European market which is a good thing because W10M is more popular over there.

Maybe it will sell better there.

I wouldn't call it optimistic, just shooting for the stars I guess.

Microsoft Still Believes in Mobile, Windows Phone Manufacturer Says

Sent from (iOK)

@faisalbaba, I'd say this is a good sign looks like WileyFox might be a little more privy to MS's plans than most, given they are working so closely. They, too, seem to want to say tight lipped, but putting some big money on what they know.

It looks like a bunch of cheap Android smartphones.
It will be interesting to see if it sells. We can only hope.

My Primo experience has taught me to reserve judgment on cheap looking products. They do LOOK cheap, no two ways about it.

The 950xl looks cheap. If you consider polycarbonate cheap. However there's reasons why even now it still sells for 250/300. Camera aside that is a very capable phone running W10M. I've never owned the Primo yet though. Held it in the store though. Is it a 5.5" screen? Also what's under the extras menu in settings? Anything?
