As always, if MSFT phone is dead, why still here?? Just because it doesn't do what YOU want, or YOU don't like something doesn't make the shouting and negativity any more relevant. IMHO, and it isn't worth much, MSFT appear to moving away from direct competition with other mobile OS's as the 'fashion' market is flooded. I see the 950 and W10M as being aimed at the corporate sector. The wording in the event when the 950 was unveiled hinted at this with the be productive like your boss statements.
People then go on to bemoan that W10 will be a continually evolving OS. Where is the problem with that?? Google do it, well they have to because of the issues still present after years of trying to get it right. They still mess up. Remember the sudden blocking of apps to SD card in 4.4.3??? The continuing issue of memory bleed.....
Yes, the dialer isn't the prettiest thing. It doesn't have all the pretty pictures, or that stupid Android silhouette! It works, and being minimalistic, it looks professional and erm.....business like.
Windows mobile isn't dead, it is being developed for a different demographic.
For those who don't like it, its probably not being aimed at you or the Fashionistas who have to upgrade every six months because they just have to have the latest device to retain bragging rights over their mates, who are equally shallow. Droid and iOS are OS's where people do not buy a device for the OS, but for the ability to buy yet another rehashed device because they are told that it is better. Then after 12 months most OEM's drop support for droid upgrades.
Been there, seen it. Don't like WM then exercise your right to go elsewhere.
I'm quite happy with my 640 xl's and love my 1320. I also like being an oddball, and different. I don't follow the herd. My biggest downfall in life is that I question everything and possess a very effective BS alarm. I never argue with idiots, because I know I would lose on lack of experience!
You've got to laugh. OP by no-no-applesux. Only droid left then.... you think W10M has issues......
