    As shitty as M$ is, it would have been nice to see Windows phone become moderately successful and be a third primary mobile os.

      I would have rather seen the development of BBOS10. It was so far ahead of its time.

      That whole thing we do with swipe gestures to navigate the android interface? Yeah BBOS had that years ago.

      I miss my Passport.

      That’s would just be Windows 11 S Mobile Edition, but you do not get the option to upgrade to Windows 11 Home Mobile Edition as you would on a PC

      Or maybe you do get an option, but its a subscription for $50 per quarter-year. 🫠

          No way - it was a good phone at the time. I had a Lumia 640 and it worked like a charm. There was only a small range of apps, but the main features worked fine: mail, calendar, messaging, camera and route planner with a map. There were news readers, Acrobat. I did not miss much and if M$ sold it’s software better to other manufacturers than Nokia, I think it would have worked well and fitted between Apple and Google.
