Once Bitten Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I know that in October last year Microsoft said that they will not be building any more Windows mobile phones , but they did say this …........Of course we’ll continue to support the platform.. bug fixes, security updates, etc . In the past I did have a Nokia Lumia 925 and sadly I broke it . It was an amazing phone . I then bought my self an Android mobile phone , but I do miss my Windows phone I'm just wondering if any one here is still using a Windows mobile phone and if you are , why do you like it so much ? or are you planning to jump ship to Android or iOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yimlitnoy Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I have a 6 years old Nokia Windows 720 and I love it for ease of use. Android is too complicated and it looks like that if you install an antivirus on an Android phone, it received more advertisement and unsolicited offers.. The battery has a long life and it updates automatically. As you say, it is now not available in the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBird Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Nokia 1520 here. Still use it constantly. No desire for Google's android or iPhone. Hoping sailfish becomes more supported. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amplish Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Still using a Nokia 630 dual sim. Probably will replace it with an Android phone when it (finally) breaks down. Mightily tempted by one of these retro Nokia phones, especially the banana phone that was recently announced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nglodnig Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I had a (Nokia) Windows phone before which needed replacing and I was going for a Android when I saw a dual SIM Windows Lumia 650 at a VERY reasonable price. The camera seems to be still the excellent Nokia type. Not so many apps for this phone but I don't care - I've got a PC and I carry an Ipad in my pack usually - who cares? As another article says, I'm not going to be head down walking or God-forbid cycling (which I see all the tine) staring at my phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing the Lumia 650 ( dual SIM version ) for sale in a JayMart shop when it first came on the Thai market for sale and after playing with it in the shop I thought just how slim , light and nice it was . I have been looking for this model in Thailand ever since but never ever again seen it for sale . I would be interested in hearing where you purchased your Lumia 650 from .

HampiK Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I also still using a Microsoft 950XL Dual Sim. Actually I am still very happy with it and hoping that Microsoft will show their new path even when they tell it will not be a mobile more something like a tablet with mobile functions. If there is nothing coming soon, I think have to change to Android with the "Launcher 10" so it looks at least like windows 10 main screen which I really love.

mtls2005 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think there are both launchers and ROMs available for Android which replicate the Windows Phone UI? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
