I don't think $100 is enough of a carrot. Most places are still financing for 24 months. $100/24 is about $2/mo different. I hardly think someone spending $25/mo to finance a phone is going to really care about a Windows Phone at $23. The bigger deal is in ranges where numbers are being sold...

No. I would buy a midrange Windows Phone :) I feel my 735 is a way smarter device than my old 928. I hope Microsoft decides to continue offering a non-high end device with many of the bells and whistles (at least wireless charging) at a lower, more affordable price. I would have gotten the 640...

How long will we have to wait for Microsoft to get this ready? I remember reading they were trying to resolve some complications. I just want my tablet with 16 gigs to get upgraded sooner rather than later! I wouldn't mind if my 7" tablet got the mobile version, which I understand existing 7"...

My wife and I switched from Verizon this weekend. She moved to ATT. When asked what phones she currently had she said a Windows Phone. When asked what she wanted to look at, she said the iPhone and a Lumia. As soon as we said Lumia, we got a huge eye roll, groan, and negative response from the...

I've been thinking more and more about all the people complaining about carriers blocking upgrades. Perhaps my web searching skills suck, but I'm not seeing anything about how the upgrade will take place. Will it be like any other update that requires carrier approval? Will the Insider program...

Does that include firmware updates? I know it took forever for Verizon to release either Denim or Cyan, even though I have the Preview app. The whole reason for sticking with a Lumia if I can't get Qi is because I trust MS with firmware updates.

How are OS and firmware updates being handled in Windows 10 Mobile? With the Insider preview app, will it totally bypass carrier approval? I'm looking at moving to Cricket this weekend and hear they don't do OS updates. I really want to save money so I'm looking the Cricket branded 640. I might...

I'm not sure I like the idea of a used device. While obviously less expensive, my not quite two year old 928 has seen a pretty big fall off in battery life.I thought the 525 had only 512 RAM. I'm not sure how many games I play require 1 gig, but I'd rather not find out.

I'm looking for a sub $100 unlocked phone with an SD slot and 1 gig of RAM. The purpose is to use for a few months when we go from Verizon to ATT. I don't use much data outside of web browsing, facebook, and Trivia Crack...streaming would be done on WiFi (so LTE is a smaller concern). I've seen...

Does this imply 16 gig devices will get the sub8" version that phones get?

They were making it clear there was a cut off between 7" & 8". That's why RT devices aren't just getting lumped with the rest of ARM/small devices. Seems like this is still a wait and see.

If all phones and 7" tablets are getting the same exact software and MS is releasing devices with only 8 gigs of storage, does it stand to reason 7" tablets will see a massive increase in free storage with Windows 10? I have the 7" WinBook from Microcenter. My only gripe is I can't install more...

So it sounds like no one has really heard any rumors other than that Chinese OEM $100 device that may or may not be available worldwide? I would think the likes of Lenovo, Dell, etc would be aiming for a $100 device sooner than later, but apparently no one has heard anything promising?? :(

So with the release of the Kindle Fire 6, Amazon has a $99 HD device. I realize Toshiba has a device for $119 with pros and cons vs the Fire 6, as does Acer for $149. My question is when do we think we will see the wave of sub $150 Windows devices with at least 720p and microSD support? I cannot...

Have you considered he could have just been chewed out and now clearly made another mistake? I'm not saying I don't believe this, but I have to think you only have part of the story. Having worked retail, you would be incredibly stupid to talk out against your brand and promote a different one...

I am wondering what kind of an improvement I would hear by swapping the lone TV to surround sound receiver connection from white/red RCA to a TOSLINK/SPIDF connection? Xbox, Roku, and DVD player are all connected via HDMI to the TV. I understand that a crappy source will yield crappy...

Well...Microsoft has gone on record as saying that Surface is supposed to be attacking the high-end where OEMs were struggling to put together compelling hardware. Samsung and Google (via whomever they pick) have the high end Android on lock down between the Galaxy and Nexus lines. I'm not quite...

I know Xbox Music Pass and Xbox Music app (for Windows 8/RT and WP8) have plenty of shortcomings. Ultimately, I do not see why my idea fundamentally should not work. My wife loves her music. She wants to be able to manage her playlists from one source and be able to play music on her phone and...

I ended up getting two (by happy mistake, too). I checked a bit later and was shocked to see it still available. Any word on how many they did online? My guess is it was way more than 100. Probably trying to get people hooked on it and promote with word of mouth (best marketing tool in the world!).

I've been looking over several tablet options the last few weeks. I have only a couple of "must haves", but it is proving hard to find more than one option (Surface 2). My must haves are: Sub-$500 (cheaper, the better) Full USB 3.0 micro-HDMI (full HDMI might be acceptable, too) Office 2013...
