Tell us you were a Windows Phone fan, without
Tell us you were a Windows Phone fan, without telling us you were a Windows Phone fan.

I remember the days when my non Apple phones just worked as I expected them to.

Funny thing is I never owned a windows phone but I experienced windows mobile OS, now I miss that simply. Microsoft only had a behavior of dropping support just like that, and now Windows 7 is no more.

I love live tiles!

Driving mode built in

I sorely miss using Google maps when out and about. For some reason Bing/Here maps doesn`t cover Pakistan

Hey cortana read my sms over Bluetooth!

You look for a certain app even a popular one then settle for a bookmark tile.

Bring those beauties back!

I get my birthday wishes like this omg..!!! you have a fan

I love Live Tiles :)

Indeed, absolutely

I hyped for April 2nd 2014

I was excited about project astoria and the initiatives that were taken alongside it

*Goodbye* if you know you know

I used to be able to have Cortana set a reminder to notify me when I departed a location

This phone was way ahead of it`s time The ability to play Asphalt and other High end games smoothly on budget Lumia phones with 512mb ram while the same would require a mid-range andriod phone atleast 2-3gb of ram and still lag

I smiled when I saw Apple were bringing this new innovation to my phone screen I was a Windows Phone fan!

I miss my Zune and Metro UI more everyday!

It seems faster.

MixRadio was the best

I miss live tiles!

The struggles of not having voice/video calls on Messenger WP app since Zuck says no.

6tin and 6tag were my top 5 apps

Make a left turn, then a left turn. Now make a right turn, and a right turn, left turn. That was GPS Directions from Waze after Google sabotage. No more specific street names/exits and other useful info.

my phone had the biggest battery

Polycarbonate phone bodies are the best. Especially bright blues, yellows, and reds.

Amber, Black, Cyan, & Denim

YouTube on a phone is overrated

I had a phone once that I only kept for a few hours before exchanging it because there were almost zero apps I wanted from their App Store. It was like a ghost town in there.

The Nokia Lumia was the best dang phone ever. Windows Phone OS was (still is) better than iOS bloatware.

Its like having the Start menu on the palm of your hand.

Rooms and Photo Hub will always be the WP experience.

"Were sorry. We couldn`t recognize your Android phone. Try opening the app via the Play Store.

"Sorry guys, can you just hit me up over SMS, I don`t have that app."

Show here: I used to edit photos with LumiaCreativeStudio, post it using shotwithlumia tag, and admiring my livetiles wallpaper :"

No... I don`t need every app to update. It`s cool.

App tiles rather than icons are the future.

Bragging to the others about my Nokia 6.1 Plus start menu Ive had Excel, Word, OneNote, and PowerPoint on my phone since 2010.

This Lumia 800 camera takes better photos than my Galaxy S9 Not pictured: an Icon stored at work. My home screen shows me latest stuff from my apps but not really using Widgets. And has this consistent look.

No operating system can be customized like Windows Phone. I miss it so much! <3

Quality of sound in phone calls.

I loved pressing my fingers on those smooth tiles

I still dream in Tiles.

Tell Me b4 Siri.

I have Xbox achievements that I got on my phone My phone from 2013 had a 1/1.5 (8.80 x 6.60 mm) size camera sensor. The size unmatched for 7+ years.

Voice messaging in my car actually worked, regardless of what I was driving.

Used to Remote Desktop, and browse file shares (via Wifi).

I can search & switch tabs with a press of a button I can view info at a glance by tapping on the screen ...and at least I can still download IG photos & videos

I made an app Plastic phones are better than metal and glass phones

Just look at my profile picture!

What`s the best app for Twitter? windowsphone

Hop. See. You again

People asked me all the time what kind of phone I was using. I enjoyed showing them how easy it was to navigate and use.

Having ZZ Top`s Afterburner as my wallpaper, and seeing that hot rod burst through my live tiles... (I still use my Lumia 820 as an alarm clock) Phone with exceptional minimalism yet feels good, sleek and stylish. Had amazing unbeatable camera, and featured the best AI assistant ever.

I still swipe left when looking for my "all apps" list

Mozo wood backcover

If you got a call during a meeting - Cortana would tell the caller that you are in a meeting...

Dedicated camera button

I already made it too obvious from previous comments on your Twitter that I was not a Windows Phone fan, but that I AM a Windows Phone fan!

Cortana was the best assistant

My phone used to work properly, and lasted longer than a day without charging.

I recall having some sort of preview of the windows phones tiles on my iPhone to convert iPhone users over, very nearly did then they disappeared...

Well done microsoft you killed off a perfectly good phone and forced the majority of us to the arms of apple Winning back lost users will be extremely hard..

I am responding to this tweet on my HP Elite x3.

Two words: Kids Corner

I was using my phone for NFC payments a year or two before you could do that on iPhone or Android.

Groove was soooo much better than spotify

Test: Twitter on my Lumia950 -> do you receive? (y) (n)

I loved how seamlessly I could open/edit my Word or Excel files without being at my computer.

Apps can be put COMPLETELY on sd card.

& My Fav Dev`s till today.. They all made a very good Lemonade with the given sore lemon..

In October 2015 I could take picture like this on my phone... at night. Yes from day one. I was so pissed at Microsoft for ending WP that I went all apple from phone to PC

Cortana on car was amazing. Still have to find anything comparable

Where`s the Google Maps app?

App not found.... Let`s use edge!

That game is not in my AppStore...

The fact that i follow windows central should do it !

Why does my phone feel so outdated despite being a decade newer?

I found these in a drawer. "Your phone`s camera sucks compared to my 41Mp RAW DNG stabilized physical shutter xenon flash camera phone."

Lived happily with the 6Tag app before WM10 came

I really like iOS 14 ! Wait, i`ll start a third Party App first.

Here Maps, Here Transit, MixRadio, Weave, myTube were there on my phone. Platform without Google wasnt problem thanks to them.

resuming . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Do I need to mention anything about myself?

Shot on Lumia950XL I can`t stand by Android phone Word Flow rocks!

*Makes a note to take a photo of all the Lumias in the draw at work*

That app looks cool! I wish I could use it. myTube and 6tin. Because even hipsters with unknown Phone OS` need some coochi and ad free youtube..

I had an early version of the windows phone, but switched to android

I had two 1520.

welcome to messaging+ when phone is switched on

I really liked the Glance screen.

Bittersweet shimmer

I was using dark mode before it was cool.

I didn`t need those Google apps anyway.

remember when office icons on mobile had appropriate colored backgrounds and relevant updated info? neither do i

MyTube is the best 3rd party youtube app on phone

I gave it my heart but it wanted my soul

40 megapixels before it was cool

Whats WhatsApp?

The Lumia 920 was the best phone ever.

Once I took a picture from the visitor center of the locks at the Panama canal. There was a small boat directly underneath. When I zoomed in i could tell the guy in the boat was barefoot. 1520

Live images before anyone else even knew what that was.

Reading this tweet from my Elite x3

The keyboard mannn.... I miss it soo much.

I`ve never understood the phone UIX methodology that puts the menu button as far away from my hand as possible.

Everytime I try a new app my first instinct is to wipe from right to left to see the other pages and options

The Zune was robbed.

I miss tiles on phone

My favourite apps start with 6

930 still here.

Oh and one more. Please use the app for a better experience

r there Windows-Phone fans in the first place??
