[AccessD] are PowerApps destined to fly?

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Jim

Sorry, I should have been more precise: I meant the OS, currently Windows 10 Mobile.
HP produces one, very expensive though powerful. 

I really don't care who produces the phone as long as quality is in top.

 Microsoft has already announced that the Windows Phone is dead.
Production ended in June.

 Windows phone only had .3% (yes <1%) of the phone market.

Hi Stuart

Both I, Rita (my wife), and my son-in-law, and one of Rita's friends have a Windows Phone - and we love it. The user interface is still miles ahead of the competition.

I don't care of the lack of all sorts of stupid apps for controlling this and that gadget. What bothers, is that some serious apps for banking, payment, access to public services and the like are slowly vanishing.

I sincerely hope that Microsoft reinitializes the phone. Some magic may be required, but still.
It will be a sad day when I feel forced to buy a heavily overpriced iPhone or the mess of an Android.

I've never seen anyone with a Windows phone!
