    If MS cancelled all future phone development, what would you do?

    Remove iOS and replace it with Android and you have my thoughts too.

    W10 will force Google to rethink its approach towards MS

    Win8 has 100's of millions of users and Google is writing nothing for them. They will continue to ignore Win10 for some time.

    I want to be, but I'm not convinced - Universal Apps

    See my reply to spaulagain. To put it a different way; These design tools run on both Win32 and Linux and I'm pretty sure most of them use TCL/TK for the GUI's so its easier to support both OS's. This alone is why I'll never see Altium Designer, LabView, Xilinx, Altera, design tools in a...

    I want to be, but I'm not convinced - Universal Apps

    These engineering tools already run on Linux and Windows. They've put in millions of dollars to develop them and they aren't going to rewite them from the ground up anytime soon. Hell, I still have to use command line tools with most of my FPGA design tools. This will NEVER work in a...

    I want to be, but I'm not convinced - Universal Apps

    I hope you are wrong. The electrical engineering tools I use will NEVER be ported to a MS Universal App. They'll leave Windows and go to Linux 1st.

    Win 10 in Tablet mode is horrible

    Who says he didn't tell MS this? People are allowed to vent in more than one forum unless there is some rule I don't know about, geeze...

    1520 a good buy at this point?

    If you can wait a month or two I'd wait. Until we hear more about WP10 I'd hate to buy any current WP phone.

    Should I leave Windows Phone?

    Re: Thinking about leaving Windows Phone... Go find something else you can live with for a year or so till we can see if MS actually still cares about WP. I recently jumped ship and I'm while getting used to Android I really miss just how easy WP is to use. The app gap really didn't bug me...

    Lumia 920 Battery Drain

    After having a 920 for over two years and trying every tip out there, you just learn to live with it. My would heat up a few times a week with no rhyme or reason. Pain in the ****, but till a great phone.

    ATT rep says discontinued.. True or is she wrong?

    A month ago I tried to get a 1520 at two different ATT stores and neither had a 1520 in stock. I also tried at two Best Buy's with the same results. I then decided to drive to Oakbrook IL and get one at the Microsoft store. For some reason their computer system wasn't letting them activate...

    I love WP 8.1, but it's hard not to look at other platforms these days.

    I would have jumped on the 930 if ATT was allowed to offer it.

    I love WP 8.1, but it's hard not to look at other platforms these days.

    I couldn't wait and went Android hoping to come back in a year or so. I'm getting used to Android, but I REALLY miss the WP OS.

    What's your next upgrade after the 920?

    I retired my ATT 920 for a Sammy S5 Active. Hated to leave but I saw no other option. ​I hope you find something you like and can live with!
