> It's really a shame that Microsoft gave up on mobile,

Nokia's Lumia phones were so good at one time. The hardware was top notch (including cameras). The software was smoother than android and more intuitive than iphone. It was just a solid platform.

I would buy one in a blink if it was available today in the high end segment. I'd not even be bothered about google's anti competitive behavior wrt youtube and other apps.

Massive shame we lost Nokia and windows phone both due to the de facto duopoly that has taken hold in the market.



I used Windows phone only once, while I tried to find where I can remove SIM card’s PIN on my father’s phone, because he couldn’t find it. It took us a solid half hour, because I never imagined that it’s an application setting.

It wasn’t terrible, but it had its problems.
