Mine was a good phone but the complete lack of support and AWFUL browser killed it. If theyd let devs make a browser for it that didnt have to be based on the garbage IE it wouldve been a good usable phone provided you dont use a lot of apps (I dont really).

Microsoft’s Lumia is a nice phone but doesn’t meet the high quality standards of Nokia’s Lumia.

Also I think I’ll be migrating off Windows Mobile at the next upgrade unless something REALLY REALLY awesome comes soon.

I have Lumia 640, and I love it. Great phone, especially for the price.

I had to move to an iPhone 6SE 64GB.

I miss my WP OS and the amazing design of the 830. But having zero support and very few apps, none of which I need for work forced my hand.

I hate mobile phones right now. They are all terrible in some way; some worse than others-coughAndroidisfullofholes

yeah :| Pure Android or Cyanogen are the only possible candidates as far as I’m concerened. And even then... god I wish HP hadn’t killed webOS... though I hear the LG TVs that run it are really nice.

Nope on the Android front. Too many security issues; my company flat-out refuses to support ‘em. It’s Windows or iPhone for me.

poop. I wouldn’t be so anti-iOS if apple weren’t such dicks about jailbreaking and if they weren’t so fucking greedy... but I haven’t been a fan pretty much since the launch of the Mac App Store and the attempt to fully close and monetize the entire product line :p

If I could get a factory command line in iOS I might even forgive Apple for their egregious warranty and licensing terms.

My mom has a Lumia 920 and she upgraded from the 520 and it’s a really nice phone, still built like the older Nokia’s. I would totally own one if it wasn’t for the lack of app development in the windows store.

I’ve considered a Nokia Lumia 930, the design and feel really made it hard not getting it. Stayed Witz Android and couldn’t be happier.

Same here, best <€300 phone I’ve had. I’ll probably move back to Android if the next Nexus doesn’t disappoint though.

Yeah, it is tempting. I'd love to try the better Windows ones though, see what that gloriously good looking OS can do with better hardware.

I call these things as treasonist phones.

I grew up in a Finnish city called Salo. This was the place were Nokia mobile phone production was originated. For years all Nokia phones came from Salo. Other factories were built up in many countries. The Salo factory continued to build flagship models as the other factories were more suitable for mass production.

The place built their last phones ~2011 when Nokia decided to end the production in Finland completely. At this point the newer European factories were already shut down. Some warehouse and support functions remained in Salo for some time.

Selling the the phone business to Microsoft extended the phone production for in Asia for couple of years but they abandoned the Salo facility completely during the last year. The city thrived during the Nokia’s best years but the last couple of years have been bitter.

Stephen Elop who was leading the Nokia while the phone business was first messed up and then sold off is one of the most hated men in Finland. He personally profited quite a lot while destroying most of the company.

Now also the Lumia is coming an end. I’m enjoying that your traitorous days are soon over.

I went from a Nokia Lumia 925 to a Blackberry Priv. The Priv is an awesome phone, but Android is such a piece of shit. Those crack-heads at Google in charge of anything UI-related, even on PC, should be fired. All of them. They are clueless.

If I could get a better browser and Snapchat on Windows, I would ditch Android in a heart-beat.
