We had a hot e-commerce app in Germany at the time of Windows Phone (exit to eBay). Microsoft pressured us to port to their platform with several visits (pre Covid :-) I (CTO) told them they could send us some phones and devs would start a port on the side. They didn't sent us anything but still kept pressuring us. It was insanity. I loved my yellow Lumia 920.

Still the best mobile device I've ever owned.

That is indeed strange, Microsoft Singapore was practically giving away phones (Lumia 920) for anyone who asked.
