After close to seven long years my relationship with Windows Phone is over. It was fun while it lasted but I can’t in good conscious stay with the platform. Windows 10 Mobile was an architectural feat. It was the unifying code base that achieved true universal application platform support. It’s wicked fun to develop applications on the platform. However, from the end user perspective, it was a great leap backward in terms of stability and functionality…on the phone.

I’ve been on Windows Phone since I bought my first Windows Phone 7 device the original Samsung Focus. I stayed through the Nokia years with an 800, 900, 920, 1020 (awesome camera), and finally the 1520. I stayed through the Nokia-Microsoft transition with the Nokia 650 XL and then finally the Microsoft 950XL. My last Windows Phone.

I still love Windows 10 and my other windows devices (my trusty Surface Pro 4) and will continue to use Windows as my main OS for my larger computing devices. I won’t say I’ll never be back but for the time being I am sporting an iPhone 7 (personal) and a Samsung Galaxy S7 (for work).
