Im still on the platform. I was holding out, hoping for something. But I guess my current phone will be my last windows phone. Sad.

I'm still on the platform as well (typing this on a Lumia 635). To be honest I only bought it as I wanted a cheap smartphone but it's served me very well. I don't really use that many apps (Baconit and Metrotube are the two I use the most), but the WinPhone 8.1 UI is probably the best phone UI I've ever used (I prefer it over iOS and Android). Thankfully I've already got my next phone lined up (Librem 5).
The platform will still be supported, but new hardware or features won't be coming, which is fine with me. If anything, I'll stick with MS for now and then switch to IOS sometime in the next few years.
You can still get the new HP Elite X3 and the Lumia 950 and 950XL on ebay for around $300.
Me too, guess I'm going to have to make this phone last until another alternative to iOS and Android appears. I've preordered a Purism Librem 5 as part of their crowd funding campaign so hoping maybe that comes to something.
