    The exclusivity with the Lumia 950 probably ended Windows 10. How can Windows 10 mobile grow if the only high end device is on AT&T? The only other people that would use Windows 10 mobile are the few that had the chance to upgrade. Microsoft doesn't even bother marketing the Lumia 950 as much as Samsung markets the s7. Microsoft has made way too many mistakes with Windows Phone, and its safe to say that Windows Phone is past saving

    It doesn't need saving. Its ok as it is. I'm on my fourth Windows Phone surely if its in need of saving? why do so many of us keep buying Windows and now upgrading to Windows 10 mobile. The question was

    Can Microsoft save Windows Phone? I think that many that vote yes are people that want Microsoft to be where Android or Apple are now with millions of handset sold each year. Yes I am one of those but that wasn't the Question. Windows 10 mobile is a great operating system and good handsets to go with it.

    Windows Mobile 10 helps to complete the eco system for both business and home. I personally have the band 2, Lumia 735 on win10, surface pro 4, Microsoft ergonomic keyboards and I use the services like OneDrive, msoffice, Hyper-v, Hotmail/outlook, Bing for all my searches, windows 10 stick on my HD TV as well as using a HD10 to connect my Window mobile to tv's when going to other peoples houses to watch Netflix and such. The Microsoft eco system is so integrated into my life that I can literally do anything at anytime without fail. Know my health status, get access to important work on cloud storage, watch entertainment, play games at home or on the go, Cortana helps me with my schedules, reminders, planning my journey which I can start on the computer and finish on the move before I miss my train without having to start over. Features like these are well thought out rather than adding random pointless ones. I prefer Microsoft to take their time with such features rather than rush them. Also the apps are coming because of the universal platform so I am happy to wait rather than turn to what I consider as inferior, no longer fashionable common locked down technology such as the iPhone. I also feel safe when doing my banking on the Windows Mobile as devices like android are far too open sourced to be trust worthy. The down side however is not seeing any true home IoT from Microsoft and no in car technology. I had to succumb to an android tablet/ 2 din car on-board computer system as there is nothing out there good enough from Microsoft. Thankfully the android store has Windows 10 themes :). Maybe a Windows 10 Mobile version will come into this industry? Anyway, if the hardware of Windows Mobile is anything like the surface and has a small range to appeal to the wider audience; then I don't see why Windows Mobile 10 cannot do really well for the home consumer. :) People need to start trusting the mobile form factor platform and device as in the past, people were burned from the Windows 8.0 phone which even I admit was awful. Microsoft have come a long way since then and I recommend that people give it a go. Like I said don't worry about the apps, they are coming. :)
