According to the news of CTOnews.com on September 3, there was no trace of the first guest, and the successor was speechless. The sea of business came and went, but few survived. A few feet across the screen world, that is, the stage where manufacturers play their fights, mobile devices that represent unique design ideas and interactive inspiration have more or less faded from people's attention in today's homogenization era.

CTOnews.com reported ten years ago today that Nokia China published "New Chapter: an Open letter from Ballmer and Elop" on its official blog, announcing that Microsoft had officially announced the acquisition of Nokia's device and services division.

Back in 2014, when the former Nokia device and Services department (Microsoft Mobile) under Ballmer's guidance was still in high spirits, Microsoft dropped its posture and chose to license Windows Phone 8.1.A series of optimistic estimates in various articles also made the then Nokia soft fans relatively give up their previous unhappiness and focus on the future development of Microsoft's mobile phone business.

▲ Lumia 830s may be a model that friends are quite familiar with. After Nadella took office, he put forward the business policy of "Mobile first, Cloud first". In just about a year, Microsoft changed its development direction, while the "Microsoft Mobile" department gradually declined in this era, and the spring tide came to an end. The original series of distinctive product plans such as "Honjo", "Vela", "Goldfinger", "McLaren" and "Boka" have been terminated, while "Windows Phone" itself has quietly disappeared after the European market "ushered in the dawn". In the domestic market, there is only one percentage, which can show the persistence of the friends at that time:

▲ 's early Lumia 435 "full screen" engineering machine Nokia brand mobile phone produced by HMD was only a flash in the pan in 2016-2018, and now HMD is buried between low-end phones and functional phones, and there no longer seems to be a spark.

▲ HMD's "true flagship" Nokia 9 PureView, and those "Surface Phone" legends, for "Andromeda" expectations, although the engineering plane has been out, but the software and hardware itself has long been finished by Microsoft, turned into a vast misty rain, and even the Android Surface Duo, now seems to "come to an end".

▲ Microsoft's Surface Duo, it is said that initially carried "Andromeda", but eventually carried Android led to a story of the past, witnessing an era, those familiar things have unwittingly disappeared, a sigh, often all.

Ten years ago, Android smartphones and iPhone were engulfing the Nokia market, no matter whether Nokia made the wrong decision at that time, but now it can only sigh for the old Nokia's mobile phone business.

Aftertaste of yesterday, just like the aftertaste of that green memory, thinking about the time I haven't seen for a long time, but all this is just reminiscence of the past, and no matter how good the time is, the space in OneDrive that buys WindowsPhone gift seems to have been removed by Microsoft because I forgot to agree to it a long time ago.
