Microsoft's rumored Surface Phone now looks like its last hope to rescue the division.

Looks like we might have an "Osborne II" situation here. Microsoft has abandoned previous generations of PDA/Mobile Phone devices before (e.g. Windows CE). I think they can still carve out a chunk, but it will cost them. Include Microsoft Office on the devices if they aren't already, and any other software that phone users who use Microsoft at work could use.

Microsoft started too late and kept too many people guessing as to its commitment for phones. I’m probably going to get with the LG G5 or Galaxy 7 Edge in a couple of months.

It’s a shame, because I really like my Windows phone. It’s been problem free.

I’ve been using the Nokia Lumia Icon with Windows for over two years now and am very happy with it. I like the simple, clean interface and the fact that it comes with MS Office. I have been able to find good versions of apps for whatever I want to do. I do hope the Surface phone comes to fruition at some point.
