Windows Phone is dead

So Windows Phone may follow in the footsteps of Zune!

This is too bad. I love my Windows phone. This is my computer for on the go. For the $49 that I paid (unlocked) it was the best investment I ever made.

I think that's innovative.

Samsung has Sidesync app which allows the phone to be run through pc or tablet. Seems to be pretty much the same thing as what MS is showing in that link. Samsung does it with wifi so no cables or anything else needed. Been out since the release of the s6 I think, nearly a year now.

Now that I was thinking on replace my old Android with a Windows Phone :/

I really like the lumia 1020
too bad

I'm very happy with my Windows Phone. I for one plan on staying with a Windows Phone for as long as I can. I never had any problems with my Android Phones, I just like my Windows Phone Better.

I never thought the Windows phone would succeed. I have a crummy old Android phone, that still runs jellybean.

I have seriously considered the new Samsung with the Samsung Pay (that can be used almost anywhere). I am even thinking of switching banks, because my Credit Union doesn't support it. But, my roomie's have been twisting my arm for years to switch to an iPhone. I have to admit, the iPhone is truly a great little device.

Without the Windows phones, i am not certain what impact that would have on MS, in the long scheme of things.

My work phone is a Lumia 550, we recently got handed them to replace our Blackberrys. It runs W10 out of the box, initially it was a disaster, so bad it would of instantly put some off. Both the apps and OS were buggy, constant freezes and crashes. However, after finally getting the OS updated and around 40 apps, it's running well, so good in fact that it's enjoyable to use. It makes me wonder how good the top end Lumias would be.

I don't think Windows Phone will disappear, rather it'll slow to a crawl, maybe a handset per year or something. It's a shame as W10 is a lot of fun on a phone (eventually).
