Bye windows phone 👋

Bye bye. It's a shame, I rather liked the live tile thing for mobile. It makes no sense to me on desktop but on my phone it was cool.

@ChappIO I was HYPED when it got first announced and even later during new announcements, but each time later when it actually dropped it was just abysmal, especially apps support with each generation.

One platform less to support. 🤷‍♂️

Sorry for being heartless microsoft fanboys. 😐

Bye bye, i liked your keyboard.

@Marethyun I think they should have kept going but at a more aggressive rate, universal apps was already a step forward, but they blasted too much money already at the failed start/dive to really keep it going anymore I believe.

I have mixed feelings about this. I really hate Windows 10 and the whole UWP idea, but on the other hand I'm all about choice and this is just reducing them to Android or iOS. Also I never owned Windows Phone phone (the ones after Win Mobile 6.1) which makes it the only mobile OS family I haven't tried. It never attracted me to try it (because it looks the way it looks) but it's a shame I'll never get the chance to use it.

@Marethyun
Developers were lazy, but I kinda understand when someone doesn't feel like allocating time/resources for supporting platforms with small market share. What really pisses me off is Whatsapp for example. Removing support for BB10 is their call and that's fine, but fucking cunts had a nerve to add a popup whenever you start their BB10 client saying that you should switch to another phone. WHAT THE FUCK? I never used Facebook or Whatsapp since then even though I switched to a "supported phone". Regarding lack of WP apps from major players like Google: Microsoft did the same thing, I guess that's what comes with proprietary software and services.
