    Would you honestly buy another Microsoft Mobile?

    This is a tough question to answer. I originally said hell yes, but a lot has changed since then. I find myself getting more and more dissatisfied with the ecosystem and Android has since called my name. I still for the life of me can't understand why Microsoft apps on Android and IOS are...

    Thinking of Switching - What do I expect from ETF buyout?

    Hi I switched from vzw a little over a year ago. The process was very smooth. Got the visa card right around the time my first Tmo bill was due, about 4-5 weeks. The money covers the etf but I still had a final bill from vzw. Basically cost me a little less than a half of my normal vzw...

    Why won't my Microsoft Band connect to my Android phone?

    Also having the same issue on the LG V10. Did a full reset of the band. The app sees the band when pairing, but when you select the band it says sorry we can't see your band. Frustrating because it worked flawlessly on the G4 and all my Windows phones.

    Let's earn Tmobile support for 950/950xl

    Here's your answer: T-Mobile's Legere: We'd carry the new Windows phone if Microsoft would stop sucking up to AT&T - GeekWire

    Let's earn Tmobile support for 950/950xl

    It will be sold direct from MS unlocked, but I think it's a mistake to make AT&T the only carrier to offer them. If all of the hipsters out there sporting the latest iPhone or Galaxy had to pay full price for them up front, there would be a lot less hipsters out there talking on the phone :P

    CNET is confirming that 950XL and 950 will be an AT&T EXCLUSIVE in the US

    I was sooo disappointed to read that article. I think it's a mistake. Unless they consider offering a finance option like Apple and Samsung, I don't see them selling many unlocked devices from the MS store. $650 is a big pill to swallow all at once. I really wanted the XL but I guess I'm...

    US only: which carriers/stores do you think will have the 950XL?

    There's already an article on CNet quoting a MS Exec saying the 950/XL are exclusive to AT&T in the US. If this is true, it's ridiculous and arrogant IMO. Yes you can buy them unlocked from the MS store, but that means no WiFi calling for TMo users, no 0% financing or leasing options from your...

    I understand why Microsoft chose software buttons.

    I really like the idea of on screen buttons. When I first got my M8 WIndows I wasn't sure how I would feel about them, but soon it became second nature. I turned my M8 into a brick over the weekend and picked up a (dun dun dunnnnnn) LG G4 to get me by until the Talkman/Cityman gets released...

    Would you honestly buy another Microsoft Mobile?

    I absolutely will. I love WP 8.1 and 10 is improving with each Insider release. I can't wait for the 940 to go on sale.

    Is Windows 10 Mobile preview stable enough for primary phone?

    HTC didn't have glance, but it did support Double Tap to Wake. That, and Dot View are not working in this build. I haven't noticed any issues with text other than I haven't been able to get custom contact text tones to work.

    Is Windows 10 Mobile preview stable enough for primary phone?

    I finally updated my One M8 this week. After the initial upgrade things were not going well so I did a factory reset and started over. It's working much better now. Still a few issues, but nothing too annoying that would make me revert back. Overall I think it runs pretty well.

    Will T-Mobile have an "exclusive" on 950 XL in USA...

    I for one hope T-Mobile gets one or both of these mythical phones, but I would hate to see it as an exclusive. Carrier exclusive phones don't have the draw that they used to. If Microsoft wants a flagship, then IMO they should market and treat them as a flagship and offer them to all carriers...

    Surface 3 LTE

    All the information I read said it they would start offering it to business customers on 7/31 but it doesn't look like that happened. I hope they do get it and offer it to consumers because I would love to have one, but just like they were supposed to get the Lumia 830, I will believe it when I...

    Windows 10 Mobile with multiple mail accounts, how do I set up separate tiles for each account?

    I had tried that first but thought it wasn't working. Turns out my big fat thumb was blocking me from seeing the submenu that popped up after the long press..... Thank you!
