Microsoft to launch Windows 10 on July 29

[Muhammad Omar]

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

Damn Windows 10 already

My Mobile has Windows 8.1 so will they offer windows 10 on that? as well as laptop....

Will Microsoft provide free upgrade for Lumia cell phone users?? specially with 512MB RAM & WP 8.1 (Denim Update)??

If your mobile has 1GB of RAM then you will get most of the features but if it has 512 MB RAM then it may not get upgrade and it it does then features will be limited.

Windows mobile is dead, you need to move on to using some other phone.

I will assume that you haven't used Windows 10 preview for phones.

i think windows mobiles are very good then android in battery performance, speedy working and no lagging thats why windows phones don't need bigger rams.

Unlike Android, everything runs in sandbox. That is the reason why Windows phone with 512 MB RAM can perform better in many ways than Android with 1 GB RAM. Just compare Chrome with IE, video and audio players on both platforms and how small applications are when downloading from Windows store. Unlike Android, you don't need to download and install new applications after purchasing new Windows phone. Default applications will work great for you. Also C# is faster than JAVA in many ways.

I haven't heard any news like that except from you here now. What I know is that Microsoft is focusing more on Windows phones and Lumia devices. That is why we are seeing Microsoft name brand on new Lumia phones. Microsoft has already stopped development of Symbian OS. So you will see no Symbian mobiles in future. But they have done that to focus more on Windows phones. Microsoft is investing so much money in it. Then how can you say that it is dead?
Windows phones are better in many ways than iOS and Android.

No they are not. It takes hours to open an app. While on Android its instant. Even the viber full laptop window app is ridiculously slow! The notification sucks. However, there is potential there life titles is an excellent idea

No they don't. And which app you are talking about. It also depends on your mobile hardware and application you are trying to run. If you are trying to run a 3D app on budget phone then it won't work here. It also depends on developer too. Candy Crush Saga game is famous on both Android and Windows phones. It was crap in its initial releases but now it has become very good and works better than before.

Very interesting.
So after windows 8 , we have windows 10
where is windows 9? i thought there was a pakistani guy who was working on windows 9. what happened to him?

Microsoft Windows still surviving after almost 3 decades. But, is there a decrement in the followers number? is the graph going south?

Computer ,Routers,Switches,Security Devices from Vendors always have some thing secret hidden in it.Pakistan Should have their own Operating system.
Recently Cisco IOS was reversed engineered and British Agencies have access to any body in pakistan and still have.

Yes thats correct, but problem with that is not every one will have same hardware. My phone could not get internet sharing because update was done using web not through carrier. But my frnd using the same model got the update.
Again their update process nearly bricks your phone.

I will assume that you haven't used Windows 10 preview for phones.

I keep getting the emails about the new revolution that windows mobile is bringing to your phone since version 7.3.
But it has only bombed. You can have a revolution in pakistan , but window mobile revolution is still coming.....
Every release its the same boasting.
One good feature the OS has is integration with outlook, so you can access office emails securely.

Unlike Android, everything runs in sandbox. That is the reason why Windows phone with 512 MB RAM can perform better in many ways than Android with 1 GB RAM. Just compare Chrome with IE, video and audio players on both platforms and how small applications are when downloading from Windows store. Unlike Android, you don't need to download and install new applications after purchasing new Windows phone. Default applications will work great for you. Also C# is faster than JAVA in many ways.

Yes thats correct its a sandbox environ, that means as I said restricted developer apis. Unlocking the phone for development is a big headache. Default application are few , may be around 10 if you are lucky.

Microsoft is investing so much money in it. Then how can you say that it is dead?
Windows phones are better in many ways than iOS and Android.

Its not the phone being better but it needs to give what customer wants not what microsoft wants customer to have.
Only reason i will buy a windows phone is for nokia hardware not for its OS. When I say dead it is not it will be off the market very soon, but slowly it will fade out. Another 6months later they will change the required specification for hardware and you will no longer get the update. The problem is that inspite of bells and whistles in the phone it is the basic stuff like day to day applications/features are the one that will make a phone usable.

My old windows phone i cannot save the contacts to sim card, only to the associated live account. So a new phone needs to do a lot of circus to get the contacts from online for which applications/hacks need to be used.

If you are just going to make calls and live with that its good phone.

Good for you!

If you want to create your own operating system, then you should start taking classes of C / C++ and then start working with open source Linux kernel that would help you to know how a kernel works in operating system. Then learn how Debian and Fedora work. After that, I am sure you will be ready to create your own operating system that will eventually be Pakistan's first operating system only if you are not trying to customize other operating systems and shipping it with different names. We already had karachi OS but it didn't really worked. Now you will barely find any traces of this operating system.

Nokia time again

Its no longer nokia but microsoft. Microsoft only bought their handset division. Over a period of time nokia name will soon be removed (mostly overshadowed by "lumia" ). I would be surprised if they still manage to design and manufacture quality products like nokia did. Microsoft is good in one thing take something and sell it grandly.

That worked very well in PC as they had a large captive market, but mobile is altogether different piece of cake. Any way you can enjoy your windoze of time while it lasts .

LMAO!!!! When I read your post with the emoticon, I literally busted out laughing.

Damn, I have note 4 but it is android. .Now, future looks great for future Windows phone. Damn!

I love my Note 4!! Best phone I've ever owned. I love all 3 GB's of ram like they were my own children. Android is and wont be in any danger from Windows phones anytime soon my friend.

Btw, Specs on the upcoming Note 5 are looking so good!!
