Decent phone but Microsoft have completely ballsed up win10 on mobile, and there are lots of apps appearing but, lots going. Amazon has dropped support too.
So just about a phone with mobile browsing. My next mobile I'm going to be ditching Windows phones, it's a real shame as they don't slow down and get filled with crap like others. But support / apps is getting worse, it's now filled with any crap to make Appstore bigger.

They sold or spun off their remaining rights and support of Nokia, not Lumia. Microsoft still owns and supports Lumia. This may be the last Lumia but it's unlikely to be the last smartphone from Microsoft. They will be trying to get back in the game next year in a big way with Surface Phone and a bigger push for Continuum, I just hope it's not too late.
Rumours say Continuum 2.0 will support win32 desktop apps (or maybe just a way to convert them to work). If one can take their full desktop PC around with them that will be killer enough for me to make a purchase. Continuum so far is just a good idea, but it's one killer-app away from changing the game.

Nice OS, just shame about the lack of decent apps.

Latest news is it might not be again.
All the uncertainty over some of the mainstream apps (does it have one, will it get pulled, is it behind the iOS and Android versions, will it see an update) is bad enough.
Such a shame.

I have a windows phone and it is the biggest waste of money. There are no decent apps and the edge browser is terrible, it crashes and barely opens Web pages.

God I hate my windows phone, same as this post. DO NOT GET ONE AT ANY PRICE. I'm a big microsoft fan but it's crash and bug city at the mo - win 10 made my 640XL turn much worse than it already was. :'(

Great for a 2nd phone but not so sure about a daily main depending on what u like to do with a smartphone. I mostly use web, WhatsApp, play music, email and of course the camera and Lumia phones have been good for all those tasks. Edge is a step back from the older IE and the older devices upgraded to Win10 feels sluggish and clunky. I have been pondering switching to iPhone and having a Lumia as my 2nd phone, but every time I use iPhone I remember why I stopped using it in the first place. I think it says a lot about Windows Phone/Mobile that we have put up with it for so long despite its problems and shortcomings. I will wait for Surface Phone and/or a discounted (sub £250) deal on Lumia 950 but if things don't improve I may end up switching.

Take a look at the HP Elite x3 releasing soon as that's an awesome Windows phone/computer/laptop. I don't know how they crammed everything into that one.

Good price but run a mile from win mobile it's dead and I'm gutted it is by far the best out of 3 bar app support
