It makes me really sad that Microsoft gave up on the windows phone as it had the best user interface and the performance was great. It was an easy to use third option to Android and IOS. Although not open source.
2 more years and Postmarket OS will be just as old as the windows phone was when it shutdown.
I had one of the earlier Lumia models, maybe the 900. The software was missing many standard features (even for the time), and there were like no apps available. Edge wasn’t a thing yet and instead it rocked Internet Explorer… And I don’t think there were any other browsers available, at least not in the beginning.
That said, I do remember kinda liking the UI. On PC (Windows 8) it was terrible, but it worked quite well on a device it was actually designed for. Another thing, it had a really good camera. The hardware I mean, sadly the software for it was seriously lacking, and there just weren’t any third-party camera apps available yet
Camera function was actually one of the selling points of WP devices
