the Microsoft Lumina 640 has been selling for $30 recently (Best Buy comes to mind) 5” screen, better than avg. camera and high quality DAC’s for music playback. Hard to think it will go lower but even at $30 it is a hell of a Wifi / Camera / Music player device.

It’s a pity. I like Windows Mobile much better than iOS or Android.

With the hub-bub oF Cankles not beings able to effectively make a desktop computer work and “having” to be slaved to Blackberries and smartphones, MicroJUNK has abandon the cell phone market. Despite the fact that they are all computers.

Windows OS has been self obfuscating since TabWorks in Win 3.1. Up untill this very day, Windows OS will deceive you, try to trick you, and even lie to you with pop ups in order to get you to digitally upgrade to their latest OS, which will have redesigned all the useful system tweaks to be all but inaccessible to the user forcing additional software to be used to maintain the same or degraded functionality that your tool had just moments before. Dont even get me going on Blue Tooth compatibility/convenience or the daily task of reminding my desktop computer that it is not a mobile device nor does it have a touch screen and it hasnt changed location in more than a year.

This box is the last Dell or Microjunk product I will own. My boycott started when MS forced me away from XP. Three OSs later I am still searching for Windows based solutions to lead me back to that lost lush green pasture that I know has long since been paved over. I have 3 boxes running Ubuntu/ Fedora, the wife’s work phone is Apple, the 5 other computer devices are all Andriod of various flavors.

Microsoft just needs to give up. They are dead to me. And its of their own doing.
