    "Windows phones' free-fall may force Microsoft to push harder on Windows 10 adoption"

    MS is heading in the wrong direction . Mobile is the only way to go . Facebook & LinkedIn realized it and both reported fantastic earning . MS focused on Cloud only and that dropped in revenue and stock dropped 6 points . MS needs to hire , not fire, engineers to work on Mobile hardware...

    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    I am happy with my 1520 and still do Not see anything to replace it with . I will wait another 6 months . The lack of Apps will eventually force every one to go with Android . Every new technology coming to market has Apps for Android and IOS . Even Tim Cook said Apple will offer Apps...

    Is MS giving up?

    Do you see Apple or Google offer any apps for Windows Phone . The answer is no . Only MS is wasting time to offer its apps on those platform . And amazing thing is that the apps work better on IOS than Windows Phone . Go figure

    Is MS giving up?

    It is sad that MS is spending time and money to offer more and more apps on other platforms than its own platform . Usually if you have some fantastic features or apps you keep them tightly secure so that people are tempted to move to this platform to take advantage of the apps . It is...

    Is the 950/950XL still a good investment given Mr. Nadella's recent statements?

    No body cares about the present , it is where the company is going . Some one said company has 80% of PC market . 5 years ago it had 98% market share and now 80% . That is bad . At one time Apple was bankrupt , Blackberry was on the top . All these drastic changes are the result of...

    Re: Is there something unique left in windows phone ? Agree 100% . Company does not have code checkers as they were fired and instead using us to do their jobs . That is terrible . Also continuum really has no value or uniqueness . Company is producing far better apps for IOS and...

    Surface Phone / Panos' Phone Wishlist

    Like anything else , it has to have state-of-the-art specs with gorgeous and especially " Unique " look . Apple spend big bucks on designers so that people fall in love with the product . Specs and beauty and uniqueness go hand in hand to make a product a success . So if I were MS , I...

    How About This

    Have an unlocked 1520 and was thinking moving over to Androids as most apps are for IOS or Androids . Until I heard Apple said that 30% of its new customers came from Androids . That is a very high percentage by any standard and tells me of high degree of dissatisfaction . Today I...

    Dropping the ball on the 950XL (950)

    Don't forget you are dealing with Microsoft with no long term leadership . Steve Ballmer bought Nokia to complete the ecosystem which was lacking . The new CEO does not care about the phone as he thinks Cloud is everything . COO did not even mention phone at the Manhattan store opening...

    Is Here drive + not available anymore?

    Maps is no match for HERE+ . Maps is inferior in every aspect . Text is too small and arrow on very top also too thin . Navigations is not something you can build in couple of years . It takes years and years . Navigation has to be Simple & Readable at a " glance " because that is the...

    PC magazine is already out with a hands-on calling both phone doomed . He said while sipping on o rum & coke a rep told him that phones are basically designed for enterprise customers so apparently MS does not care about consumers . That tells me MS does not have clear vision not that it had...

    " So, they invest BILLIONS in Nokia but, they have no interest in Market share ? Really ? Are people that clueless to believe that for one second ? " Yes they are that clueless . MSFT does Not have futuristic long term plan . This CEO is blinded by Clouds and thinks that is the only...
