"Microsoft McLaren is the successor of the Lumia 1020 and should end up being called the Microsoft Lumia 1030, if all things are correct. Microsoft McLaren is currently the code-name for the device that has been circulating in rumors on the internet and the device so far certainly looks like the McLaren of phones, that’s for sure."
If you are in the US and are in the market for a budget Windows 10-powered smartphone, here's a deal for you: the Lumia 550 is currently going for as low as $60 in the country.
Speaking to Gadgets Now at its recently-concluded Media Days event in Bengaluru, Microsoft India chairman Bhaskar Pramanik said that the company will continue its efforts in the mobile division.
It seems like Microsoft is going down in flames in the smartphone business.
Bit of a shame.
I got a windows 10 phone (was Windows 8.1 which updated), and i really like it.
I don't get random updates of software which change the way my phone operates like how my old android phone used too. True I don't have as many apps, but I really used the extra apps anyway.
too bad. im an avid android user but it sucks to know we're stuck with only two options
Ugly UI and basic phones in my eyes.
Bring back the Nokia name with a decent Sony camera and a new windows UI without the ugly.
All they wanted was the Nokia mobile division , with that in hand it time to kill Nokia mobile brand. So they can introduce the Surface mobile which may turn out to be a better product than the Lumia .
Pretty cool, although all that Nokia there is making me think....
Metal backing and Zeiss Optics? Nice.
Good looking for phone and I really like Lumias, I had a 980 in the past but I couldn't stand windows OS being on it and it sucks that Nokia sold there mobile phone biz to MS. Its trash when it comes to apps and support and takes forever for certain apps to come to its marketplace. For the longest time they had a really bad bug that would drain your battery within a couple hours caused by windows OS and the not the phone itself. Took MS forever to fix and it still has issues because my dad uses one.
Ehh that's my rant. Great phone, poor OS mostly because the lack of support that I'd like to see happen.
