Re: OneDrive only allowing 50GB upgrade (or Office365 1TB) Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not really question what's a good deal or not. It's more a question about if MS only offers 50Gb or Office 365 +1Tb? Anyway, for me that's the only options, so I assume that's the case. Thanks

Hi, I have a similar issue. Windows Insider programme updated my Surface Pro 2 after July 29th. It said 'Windows 10 Pro' in the About section of Settings, and the build number disappeared from the desktop. So I assumed that meant it was now my official Win 10. I then performed a clean install...

I was interested in this too, so found this video on YouTube. Skip to the 30 minute mark (this forum doesn't seem to allow a link to the specific time) he compares Surface 3 to Surface Pro 3 on loading large photoshop files. Though there is definite lag in comparison, it doesn't look too bad.

I feel like I'll be waiting for USB Type-C and Windows 10 before I buy my next Microsoft Phone

I'm from the UK but was in Texas last week. Was in Best Buy and heard the exact same thing, the salesman specifically told a customer "it's not designed for the lap and it's kind of a tablet hybrid thingy" the customer was clearly confused. Additionally I couldn't play with the SP3 because it...

I had to hard reset to get WP8.1 update 1. So I really can't be bothered to install some nokia software and have to go through another convoluted re-install process. FYI I'm UK EE (but unlocked) 920 and not on Cyan. I'm just hoping I can skip cyan and go straight to Denim.

Re: 630 Dual Sim in UK - 2nd sim not working Cheers rockstarzzz. So I tried this, following the Cortana 'hack'. Cortana works now, so the phone is technically set up as a US phone. The second sim still doesn't work. But it seems the error lies with Three UK. Both Sims I was trying were from...

Hi, the dual sim Lumia 630 is not sold in UK. But I got one off ebay, it looks like a Hong Kong or Chinese version. During initial set up both UK sims were installed. Both showed full signal. The first question on setup is to choose language (or region maybe, I cant recall exactly). Once setup...

Doesn't John Lewis normally stock Surfaces? That's where I went to see the SP2. As you say, I want someone to get a demo one in stock so I can go play before finally deciding.

Thanks for this, I did exactly the same with a Lumia 630. Was going to take it back to the shop before finding this thread. It does annoy me that the error message for this does not relate to the date and time settings at all

No, but just perform the work around and give it a go. There are niggles in changing your language and region settings, and Cortanna doesn't like my English accent. But it's worth it if you're the type of person who just has to know what she's like

Fully agree. I have to say, as an owner of the 920, I am interested in whether a 1030 will be announced/released by June/July too.

Am I right in thinking the SP2 can run at 4k (UHD 3840x2160)? I'm currently lusting after one of the Dells: 24 inch or 32 inch

I still like the 'desktop', and I like the way MS has made it more of it's own app. But after using a OS X it's a nice experience to use a second desktop for a separate topic or task. This becomes even more important with devices with smaller screens (10 inch), where the desktop is rarely shut...

Thanks E. So does everyone just have their 'Skydrive camera roll' in the root Skydrive folder?
