The 1520 running WP8.1 is still the best most reliable Windows phone available, the 950/950XL with Win 10 is a mess and when it comes to being a "Flagship" phone it pales in comparison to the 1520, still can't believe they put a cheap, flimsy back cover on their "flagship phone" .. Sadly the...

My advice, sell your XL and buy the Galaxy S7 Edge.. I received my Edge Wed and I can tell you it will blow you away.. The OS is super fast and the complete opposite of WP 10's release on the 950XL, everything works with no bugs, glitches or issues and is flat out smooth and fast. It's so nice...

I won't, I'm leaving WP also but going with the Galaxy S7 Edge which I'll have tomorrow & it has "Always On" which is just like Glance except its on a real flagship phone, MS could have built something close to the Edge but opted for a incredibly boring designed 950/950XL with a cheap plastic...

That puzzles me also... Especially with all the hype leading up to the next "MS Flagship" 950/950XL release back in Nov. not only was the release a huge debacle the OS was absolutely not ready! I just couldn't believe people were defending MS saying"all new OS will have bugs", I myself thought...

Sad to say I'm leaving WP soon I really enjoyed my 1520, best of the 3 Windows Phones I've had but looks like I'm leaving it/WP soon. Really surprised and disappointed it's not getting the W10 update, it's much more worthy then say the 640/640XL but MS in it infinite wisdom feels different...

Go for the S7 Edge, much bigger battery, better camera, all the apps you'll ever desire and like Win 10 check what apps are sneakily running in the background.. Been in both worlds bro and going back to WP is a true step backwards.. How many times a day do you see "you can download this app at...

BB has also sold out of ATT's Silver, did my pre-order for Silver on ATT's online site today and with some nudging with their CS they're matching BB's free 64g SD card & VR Headset promo.. Guys on Android Central have already received early shipments(T Mobile I believe).. damn.. Talk about the...

As a fellow 4 year ex-Android Galaxy S2 thru S5 & Note 4 user my honest recommendation which won't be a popular one here is go with the S7 Edge.. I came back to windows phone back in Oct 2015 and sad to say heading right back out the door, if your carrier is like AT&T's they will have the S7...

You'll miss the great battery life 8.1 has for starters!!

When you first go thru it's setup don't let it reinstall from your back up.. It will ask you if you want to, just uncheck that option.

Ahhh Nexus phones are great, the Nexus 6P looks very nice, I'm not totally locked into the Edge quite yet but I am sure I am leaving Windows phones.. Having android in the past I never had a issue with letting only my Calls and Texts as my only sounds for notifications, strange your having that...

Hey LLibra, which Android are you trying now?? Went to AT&T today and played with a S7 Edge, damn it was lightning fast, my last Android phone was the Note 4 which I thought was a tad quicker then my 1520 but the Edge was A LOT faster then either and next to the 950XL I did a side by side and...

From the times I used to put windows 10 on my old 640XL the best route to take was upgrade to W10 and start from scratch not allowing your backup to install... Manually reinstall your Apps. As for firmware, seeing our 1520 phones are not included in the list to get the official W10 upgrade from...

Agreed except I'm going for the Galaxy S7 Edge!! Saying Win10 was not quite ready OS being released is one thing but damn this is still a work in progress 3 months later!! It's like pay $650 for a 950XL and be a beta tester!! Windows Mobile has gone and done it again, lost me and a whole bunch...

Re: Bye bye to my 950 XL... It did, was reported in May and the fix was released mid-June.. I felt the battery drain issues of Win 10 vs 8.1 first hand when I ran multiple versions of Insiders releases and sadly the difference was big enough I never gave running Insiders W10 on my 1520.. I am...
