Microsoft will sooner or later shutdown mobile unit. They are writing off the nokia acquisition.
Microsoft To Fire 7800 Employees; Write off $7.8B In Nokia Deal As Part of ‘Restructuring’ Their Mobile Business
Future Plans?
This step is a clear indication that Microsoft will not push for their Windows based mobile phone business, but rather concentrate on building an eco-system of their application and hardware. As of now, Windows based phones account for only 3% of global market, and their market share is not showing any signs of improvement in near future with Android and iOS firmly establishing their presence.
After using one of microsofts early version (7.1 and mango release), have decided never to buy microsoft one again. Nokia hardware is superb, but their microsoft mobile OS sucks big time. No large application eco system, small features taken for granted like copy-paste was missing in initial release. Then the usual trick of not giving SD card slot and not able to save contacts into sim.
Lumia is good hardware from nokia, sadly it will soon fade away. If Nokia had android .......
Yes , they are fast and dont eat up ram like android. Reason is I believe is because it is a monolithic OS whereas android is like micro service.
But microsoft does not open up much apis unlike android. So not many thirdparty apps to kill the OS or make it slow.
WTF i just bought Lumia 1520 2 months ago
hope this news is not true
or i want my money back
