The windows Phone/Mobile ship has sailed. I got off a year ago. Those that want to ride it into the sunset are more than welcome to do so.

I sold my Icon and 822 on eBay last month, so I'm done.

Why do you sound surprised? This is not new, VZW has hated Microsoft ever since the Kin debacle. In that case both parties were to blame, but VZW has kept that particular grudge close to its cold shriveled heart.

I was on Verizon with an Icon, but 2 years on with no new flagship in sight, I switched to a Nexus 6p on Project Fi. I lost live tiles which bites and widgets aren't even close to filling that void. I don't use ANY Google apps. I have a Gmail account so that I could access the Play store, but...

Same here. Yesterday was my first day on a Nexus 6p. Icons everywhere. semi useful widgets, but it's no home screen with live tiles. I now have a useful tool versus a really nice device that provides really intuitive & sometimes even enjoyable experience. The Nexus 6p is a sunk cost, so I'll...

So you replaced a low to mid range Windows Phones (640XL) for an iPhone & Flagship Android devices. Of course apps are going to be better, but the hardware is miles better too, so I would expect both to be better even before boot up.

My wife and I are out of contract on verizon & are thinking of switching to Project Fi. I mean if I'm moving to Android, might as well move to pure android that actually gets updates as well as swap the the Microsoft launcher and install all the MSFT apps except for maps. No live tiles, but Fi...

E) Verizon.

I just got a replacement Band 1 for that said same corrosion issue. I also have a Band 2 on pre-order so I guess we'll see when it finally gets here.

Having the new handsets on Verizon would be helpful, but then NOT being there isn't a death blow. VZW still thinks every device that is related to Microsoft is another KIN and treats them as such. Microsoft just needs to get third party certification for US CDMA, publicize that fact and sell all...

Only for the most hopeful on the board. I'm not counting on it because Verizon has been, and I'm quoting here "100% a d*ck" to Windows Phone.

No, it's not. How do I know this? Because I waited 7 months after the release of WP7 before the HTC Trophy finally showed up on VZW, not to mention the temper tantrum VZW threw because VZW Navigator, Voice Mail, NFL Network, VZW Backup weren't baked into the Lumia Denim firmware so MSFT put them...

Yes, Verizon is far from easy to do business with. They did a great job of proving that again and again with the last instance being the pig headedness of holding up Denim firmware because they insisted that it include the vzw crapware. Microsoft did point out to them that they could push out...

Apparently it was said at the event that "Microsoft will work with the carriers that worked with us." Does anyone here ever remember Verizon working with Microsoft?

I have the current insider build on my Icon and it's very good. Dropping VZW would really mean dropping CDMA which includes Sprint. Microsoft will get their new phones approved for use on VZW and then sell them in Microsoft Stores as VZW has proven completely inept at selling Windows Phones. The...

Re: Outlook Mail accounts - 0x801901f4 Well adding a live.com email the way it looks like you should didn't work, but adding it as an exchange/O365 accout worked for me! Thanks!!

Same here. I had the Windows Insider App installed and the preview came almost without warning. To me it was a hot mess so I rolled back. I'll keep using my 822 to test Win 10 preview.

As others have pointed out, the NYT piece was opinion, not journalism. Well from their initial impressions, Consumer Reports seems to like the Lumia Icon. Of course the full review won't be out for a while. Nokia Lumia Icon Review | Smart Phone Review - Consumer Reports

Currently using an 822, so yeah I'm still going to bite when the Icon eventually shows up, that is unless it has some horrible flaw.

This is Verizon and a Windows Phone we're talking about here. There will be no marketing campaign.
