    Is there anything unique left in windows phone ?

    Re: Is there something unique left in windows phone ? I have tried iOS/Android and really hate the rows and rows of dead icons and pages and pages of widgets. I have a Lumia 930 and SP3 and this combo is awesome - I get why people choose other OS's and the need for the latest blah social app...

    Is there anything unique left in windows phone ?

    Re: Is there something unique left in windows phone ? I totally agree with your sentiment here towards trying out iOS/Android and we will magically become enlightened LOL I have just broken my 930 and although it generally works, there are problems with double tap to wake etc so I went to the...

    Recommend an in-car holder for the 930

    I use the Nokia CR-201. This was originally bought for my Lumia 920, which fitted perfectly. I upgraded to the Lumia 930 and it fits, but the camera button is caught by the charger holder. As this charger is wireless (Qi charging) and is excellent quality I have kept it. When closing the two...

    Re: Having serious issues with pulling down notification center, help! Have you tried pulling down from the left side, the middle and right side at the top, to see if this makes a difference?

    Is W10P entering a pure features battle and losing its distinct design identity?

    Should have been; "If MS is in fact working on that ability, then you can bet your bottom dollar that's what's behind these UI changes. Not porting costs like some are speculating." I was replying from the topic "Is W10P entering a pure features battle and losing its distinct design...

    Is W10P entering a pure features battle and losing its distinct design identity?

    The UI changes seen from a user point of view, mainly the hamburger menu is not liked. The best explanation I've seen is the link below, from an Apple viewpoint. Apple on Hamburger Menus I hope the ease of use from swipe/pivots is not replaced with bizarrely placed hamburger menus that can not...

    All buttons are going to the top! Horrible

    I agree, this issue is important to me and the OS I feel. Pivots and gestures for phones should stay. The only thing I can say about hamburger menus is best described in the link: Apple on Hamburger Menus Hoping WP stays unique and metro.

    Sounds like you are saying WP and webOS are failures because of the design. I would propose that Android and iOS are popular because of the app and games on offer. Apple phones became popular because of the design AND the availability of iTunes, Apps and games.

    Is W10P entering a pure features battle and losing its distinct design identity?

    I don't see Android and iOS fans suddenly jumping to WP because of these changes. I do see WP fans moving elsewhere because the uniqueness has gone from WP and Microsoft software is now on all platforms, mix that with more apps and games on other OS's, why use WP? I would propose that WP never...

    W10M - New features listed (compared to WP8.1)

    Re: Windows 10 a complete makeover? Can't really comment on something that does not exist, so comments are about what is there, whether it is liked or not.
