I had a lumia 920 which was my first smartphone. I don't think windows phones are dead but they probably won't grow anymore. at least not in the west, afaik they are rising in africa and asia.
That said after I discovered that Microsoft also benefits from a strong androi marketshare I lost faith in their ecosystem. They didn't push their own services on their own mobile devices hard enough either. Youtube vs Windows Phone was also a burden (not sure what has changed)
The whole buying Lumia move surprised me when they first announced me but this seems to be the end of windows phone.
