2 year wait is not good enough????? I gave up on microsoft and moved on to androidJust wait for the Surface phone ...
I agree with you on microsoft should market their devices but when they make new models every 18 to 24 months market what????Nah, the phones are fine, Nothing to do with that. Sure the 950/950XL are not the fanciest looking phones in the world but, the hold their own in a basic design and allowing 3rd parties to make back covers that completely re-designs how the phone looks. Nice covers so far...
What Microsoft needs to do is get the budget to start a marketing campaign again, KILL every layout they had promoting the phone and change the pattern of it. Apple did this a while ago with the PC thing, Microsoft should go towards the "Think Different" type of marketing commercials.
Everyone has a iOS or Android device, so why not go down this marketing road....If anything you can get people looking into the phone, and just maybe they will buy one, the more that buy it, the more apps that come out and that will make us all happy...
I was at Slush last week, in Helsinki. I heard the CEO of Nokia (of the board) during a "how do you make a century-old company" (Slush is startup centric). Well, he was asked about phones and he said "Nokia is out of the handset business. If we return to the mobile business, it's certainly not at handset level, as there's no longer room for innovation. Always a touchscreen, 500+ Android manufacturers, if we Nokia are to return on the mobile business, it will be under a more disruptive way".
The short version is "Nokia is out of the smartphone business".
Microsoft makes amazing phones BUT they are not good in DESIGNING phones. MS is out of ideas. Lumias were unique for their design, the 930 and 830 used metal an year ago but the 950 and the 950xl use polycarbonate. Common people think that these phones are useless bcz of their boring design. SO ONLY NOKIA CAN SAVE WINDOWS MOBILE!!

Well, the 950/950XL are the result of the use of designs Nokia had previously rejected.

The so called unique Lumia-design didn't sell. Very few people liked the design with all the bright colors. At a time when the phone-market was still open Nokia failed with a narrow design only liked by the few.
The iPhone 5C has been discontinued.That's why even Apple tried to copy that when they launched colorful iPhone 5C.
The truth is that Lumia designs were bold and beautiful. Whether you liked it or not is your personal choice. But many people liked that. And so even the people with black and white Android phones started using colourful covers for their phones. It was a trend setter!

. At least pay some respect to that vision. They were the first to bring OIS to smartphones, they discovered clear black tech and supersensitive touch. Still they get 0 recognition. What a world. Wow!

Oh please. As if a generic black or white slab would've won anyone over. The bright colors and unique designs undoubtable helped with more than a few sales because people actually noticed them. If MS hadn't dropped the ball with marketing and other decisions things might've been different.
Why did they not sell then? People knew about the phones. Why did they buy Samsungs over Lumias? The app-gap wasn't too serious back then. It's because most people don't want bold design that distance them from the masses. They want to have the same as the next guy.
