    Share your Windows Phone History!

    HTC Touch HD (Windows Mobile 6.5) -> [Samsung Galaxy s2 Android -> Sony Xperia Arc S Android ->] Lumia 800 -> Lumia 930 My very first smartphone was a HTC Touch HD WinMobile 6.5 phone, which I loved so much, but it was getting old and I got a free Galaxy S2 from my carrier, my first Android...

    Tutorial for switching to Android or iOS?

    Thanks for your comment. I know i can "just switch and use it", or read up on it and yes, i was planning on syncing contacts via BT, but a few trips and tricks from the pros wouldn`t hurt and I think many of us are in the same shoes right about now. Oddly enough, i just realized, I may have to...

    Tutorial for switching to Android or iOS?

    Like many WP enthusiast, I am considering jumping ship now (a day I thought would never come), but I haven`t used Android since I got my Lumia 800 and I am using my work iPhone like a grandma, stumbling around, since I am so used to how WP works. I think I am not alone. Would you guys consider...

    Re: W10M Insider Preview 14342 Issues (Redstone branch) Ok, here is my laundry list on my unbranded 930. 1, Choppy music playback on Deezer UWP app. i know that's a "preview" app, but was working flawlessly in earlier builds. Now you get the intermittent less-the-a-second pauses every 5-30...

    Rant : What is your Plan B?

    I have been using Windows Mobile/Phone since 6.5 with a brief Android detour and an Apple workphone. Like most of you I have been a WP advocate among friends and family, but i am reaching the end of my rope as well. I feel like there were 3 main things that made me fall in love with Windows...

    Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview 14322 Issues (Redstone Branch)

    anyone has apps stuck in the store (updating that never ends) on 14322? I had 2, which blocked new apps form downloading so i bit the bullet and did a HARD reset. The result? Now i have 52 apps listed as being refreshed in the store (no progress bars) and they all appear as duplicates of...

    Life 360

    Such a lame company. It is happening on my 930 @ Win10 as well. The answer they gave you is f+!%ing irritating, but I guess when MS itself say Win 10 mobile is not their focus, why would a developer care anymore?

    Lumia 650 and 750

    I think their strategy to release one "value" phone - 550 -, one midrange/business oriented and one high end - 950/XL - is fine, I just don't think the the naming convention makes sense if they call the middle model 650. Regardless of the specs, if they decided on this 3 tier arrangement and...

    W10M preview builds released too slowly

    I would just spin the OP's post a bit differently: the lack of more frequent builds is a bit worrying due to the current state of WM 10. As my 930 has been sent off for repair, I dusted off a L620 and felt adventurous enough to join the preview community and install 10512. Granted, this is not...

    The Windows Phone App Gap Thread

    re: Is there really an app gap on WP? Let me share what frustrates me. In my country WP is actually ahead of iOS - 11% vs 9% - and for about a year now. Still, you have a hard time seeing major organizations (banks, newspapers, etc), let alone smaller companies doing an app for it. Yes, there...

    Frustrated with "No Flagship" complaints

    Great points! With all the cr*p we give MS over the 7-8 different low end phones they introduced over the past few months, one has to realize about half of those were Ashas rebadged. They probably had parts and factory capacity already booked by Nokia too so they did the best they could and...

    Frustrated with "No Flagship" complaints

    Let me help you with the headlines too: "Microsoft fails to deliver a New flagship to the premier of its new OS, only has a .7 inch larger version of it's 6 month old 940." This would be 1520 to Icon/930 complaints all over again.

    Frustrated with "No Flagship" complaints

    Scenario 1: Microsoft releases the 940 in February 2015, 1 year after the Icon. Then, as it needs to launch a new flagship model with the release of its new flagship OS, it releases the 950 in September 2015. Cue whining: "Whaaaaaat?! How dare they???!!! They just made my brand new 6 month old...

    Why waste a perfect opportunity to put us out of our misery?

    All WP 8 phones (certainly all Lumias) will get WP10. It is not unreasonable to think that will come with a new camera app. Maybe they just didn't put much effort into WP8 anymore.

    Lumia 930 Denim Thread

    Re: Denim for 930 is here. It's a bit irritating that my friend's carrier specific 620 got Denim yesterday, but my sim free 930 is still on Cyan. I thought getting a sim free, top of the lien phone would mean i'd get the updates quick since i don't have to wait for carrier certification and all...

    What's the deal with these new non-detachable chargers?

    Hmm. Interesting responses. I've had a 800 now have a 930. One friend has a 620 another has a 520. All came with the detachable USB cable. Makes me wonder if this is more regional, than anything. Regarding USB vs WiFi, USB is still quicker, especially for larger files. I also like how i can...

    What's the deal with these new non-detachable chargers?

    I've noticed in newer reviews and customer posts, that some(?) new Lumias in some(?) regions come with a new type of charger, that does not have a detachable USB cable. First of all: what the hell?! This is simply stupid. All smartphones are bound to be connected to a computer when...

    Nokia Lumia 930 warped/distorted camera pictures!

    Hey! Purchased my 930 in mid August, took it on my holiday, business trips, birthdays - and i've been seeing the same thing. I too were wondering if this is normal for the lens, but i do not think so. Have you made any progress since your posts? I am thinking about taking it to Nokia care too...
