Apps. Real, honest-to-goodness first-party apps. Not bots, not web wrappers, not third-party workarounds from one-man studios that can get abandoned at a moment's notice. Real apps. Of the 12 apps I use regularly on my Nexus 6, 10 do not exist in WM. If they did, I'd be back in a heartbeat.

I used to feel that way myself, but darn it I like WM too much. I recently gave up my Note 4 and went with the Alcatel OneTouch. True, I miss a few apps, and the Map isn't as specific, but I'm happy overall.

"latest information from various sources..." Sounds legit! :amaze:

I'll check that out, thanks!

I'm looking for somewhere that reports the following: As of right now, Current Build is XXXXX Insider Slow is XXXXX Insider Fast is XXXXX Not just for right now, but on an updated, ongoing basis. Is there a site or anything that shows that? Thanks!

Your post says you already use Win10, so that point, while true, is kind of moot. Yes, malware targets Windows more than Mac, but that's mostly because Windows is a larger target. If portability is important, the Surface may be better off for you, but if you use OSX at all, that may be a point...

...did you have a fake beard on? Seriously though, that's *not* enough info. What exactly do you mean by "recognize you"?

Re: Cube WP10 $119.99 at Gearbest... I'd prefer 'full' W10, but it's still an interesting device!

In general, how well do cases work with the continuum docks?

It was removed from the OS itself... I miss the feature. Try "Radio FM Phone" in the Store, it works well for me.

I have the same issue; plays one song, then the app closes. Tried reinstalling Pandora, resetting the device, and sacrificing a virgin to Dona Sakar... no luck. EDIT: This is on my phone, btw. Desktop app works fine.

Because "there's an app for that" is a stupid excuse for something that 1) was initially part of the OS itself, 2) required little to no ongoing developer maintenance, and 3) worked just fine. There was no reason to remove it, except to push more people onto data streaming, which is not a...

FM radio getting ripped out was a kick in the teeth for me. When I had my 925 (and then my 640), I used to brag about it to my Android-using friends. Now that it's been gutted and I'm an Android user myself (removing FM was a reason, but not the only one), I guess the joke's on me.

I stand corrected. Granted, the year it hit 42% (2007), Android didn't even exist and iOS had just launched, and the next year WinMo was overtaken by Blackberry and has lost market share every year since then, but yes, 2007 was a very good year for Microsoft.

True that. I have a L640 and I love it, but I simply can't do what I need to do on it, so my Note4 is my daily driver. Reluctantly, of course, but if WinMo ever gains any steam I'd drop Android in a heartbeat.
