Who's Planning to Get an HP Elite x3

[Guytronic]

All you guys that want one of these should form a Windows Central group buy.
Maybe each will be able to get the device easier as an organized entity posing as a networking consortium

That sound good to me. But how practically feasible?

I was joking (slightly)

Buying this initially might be pretty difficult for the non-business consumer.
HP (and Microsoft) it seems have a lot of work to do before tying this thing to corporate services making it a surefire viable seller.

I don't think it would be too hard for HP to sell to enterprise and compare to the 950xl there is no difference with apps for the consumer. So the HP Phone is appealing to me for now. Probably might have more business apps than MS (just a thought)

I'm just trying to soften the landing if you will.
This device was announced yet is still actually in development for it's real target audience.

Let's hope all will be very pleased with the future of the X3.

yep

I've read it wont be available until late summer, but I am already wishing and hoping. I like my 950XL but have been surprised by how much I miss the larger screen of my 1520. This is the only phone on my radar right now.

They said they plan to release it in august

By August they'll have some competition, with the next Samsung note and the release of iPhone 7 right around the corner. Both are preferred by many who work in firms with BYOD policies.

I'm thinking this is the device that might kill the BYOD trend. With the built in security, durability, and access to corporate legacy apps through the Workspace feature, I can see IT dept wanting to get away from having to deal with a bunch of different devices and standardizing on just one system.

 

[RumoredNow]

BYOD is great for my mvno hopping.

I'm sure it is a nightmare for CIOs and IT departments.

 

[Mark Kaplan]

I embrace byod at my org. I let anyone bring any Mobile device they want as long as they accept our security policy. We make support best effort for mobile devices and manage security through mdm. We stopped standardizing on mobile years ago.

I really wish MS would let all W10M phones have it, especially if the Lumia line truly is defunct.

Is no Glance really due to Microsoft restricting it? I thought that Glance was dependent on the technology used in the screen.

yep, not on any amoled screen

I think this is finally the phone I have been waiting for.

Despite all the problems with Windows10 and fact that still not released to everyone, I think I love that phone.

I have had my 1520 for 2.5 years now, Had to unlock it from a ATT and have been on Tmobile and I love the phone my plan etc, still hope for better apps, as my Banks, BOA & Chase don't even have apps here anymore!!! But if HP starts selling this phone to business and it becomes the next Crackberry I really think there is finally hope for this.

I just can't ever see going back to ICON OS and was considering Samsung S7 Edge but now that I see this whole package with the laptop etc. I think i'll wait till summer and get the whole package.

Please don't screw this up and add the camera button, don't see why you would need fingerprint if it has iris control etc..............Can't wait

 

[Alain_A]

don't see why you would need fingerprint if it has iris control

dual security maybe...hp said some like one way and others the other way...I think it is smart doing it. One have a choice.

As for the camera button...Why in hell so important for some? I have it on my 830 and many times I wish it does not have it.

 

[Stalin Medrano]

If it becomes available for Verizon, I am going to get it for sure!

 

[Mark Kaplan]

Good luck! VZ is the most anti-Windows carrier of them all.

the phone is supposed to be sold unlock with all the band....I think..so could be used everywhere

The 950 and 950 XL can technically work on some of VZ's network however from what I've seen posted here, VZ is intentionally blocking them from their network.

and they have the right to do so? I thought that was a thing of the past
