    Its a pity Microsoft is discontinuing my favourite brand of phone. Did they even take into consideration those die hard Windows phone fans? Well, they will probably pull the plug on WP10 in the near future better stay safe l'll get myself an Android device. l have not known Microsoft to disappoint, let alone start chickening out of the smartphone market. Well, it was good while it lasted better stay safe. Abandon ship!!!

Anyways, it is a warning bell to me and all the customers whether to buy it or not in future..

        Well, this is probably the most speculative blog entry I've ever read. I believe all software companies have EOL dates for previous and even current versions of their released titles. Are we to assume that IOS is dead as well because IOS 1 is not supported any longer? Amazing.

                                      Microsoft should stay away from phones until they get their act in order.
                                      And they ought to listen to their users more! The mobile ecosystem is more dynamic than the PC market they're so used to.

But seems like they use the stalling tactics on me as the 2 year period ends in 08.12.2017 so I have full month left of it.

                                        I think I need to turn to consumer protection for help or call the shop and say that I will turn in consumer protection for help.
