    Microsoft Watch - When!

    Me too. I would much prefer if they made the band a real watchband, so I could use a classic watch as a jewelry piece, but still have the smart functionality in the band. I use a Garmin Fenix 3 right now, which is great (and looks decent), but something like the Garmin Vivosmart (with a screen...

    [Quick Impressions] Who just got the Tobii EyeX?

    OMG, this thing is amazing. I am used to Windows hello, having both a Surface Pro 4 and a Lumia 950, but having the mouse cursor warp around the screen is just a whole new ballgame. So insanely efficient. I cannot live without it now. This needs to be embedded in every laptop and display on the...

    Folks who make up the 1% - why are you holding on?

    My Lumia 950 was my first Windows Phone device. I got it because I love my Surface Pro (got models 1, 3 and 4) and believe that continuum is the future. I want my phone when docked to be a desktop (hopefully the dock will have a graphics card slot), and I want a laptop companion (like HP Elite...

    Afraid to get a 950 or XL - Surface phone coming?

    As others have mentioned, new phones come out pretty much once a year. Despite loving my 950, I am really hoping the Surface phone comes out in about a year's time, sporting a docking station with a graphics card slot, (like the Razer Core), possibly even a desktop processor for docked use, and...

    Windows 10 Mobile Details

    After the comment about this thread being about delightful little details rather than big features, the above is the first thing that gave me a moment of delight (enough to turn it back on again and show people around me right away).

    Windows 10 Mobile Details

    Not to hijack the thread, but I have the same headphones. Best headphones I have ever had! The sound is phenomenal, and I like that they have a replaceable battery, so if I know I have a long day I carry spares for both the Lumia 950 and the H8 (cf...

    Why won't my Lumia 950 update and the battery dying super fast?

    My GF and I both have the 950. Hers has this problem, mine doesn't. Very annoying.

    Yeah, this was an awesome move, Xamarin is fantastic.

    If you could choose any device...

    Very true. Being purely a premium brand has its challenges, the 5s does seem to be an attempt to target a more price sensitive market. Saying that, at least people are buying it, when they could have bought a larger phone at the same price from a different manufacturer. That might be true for...

    If you could choose any device...

    Although I prefer the 4 row keyboard, I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Yeah, many people feel that way. On the other hand, Apple's new refresh of the iPhone 5s (now 6 SE) seems to indicate quite a few people like smaller phones. The BlackBerry Q10 was the perfect phone (form factor) for me, as it...

    HP Elite availability

    Same thing here, got a Lumia 950 after using a BlackBerry Q10 for years (a Q10 with 950 internals and Windows 10 would be my perfect phone). I tried the BlackBerry PRIV with android, and although I'd claim the software enhancements make it the most productive (and secure) android phone on the...

    HP Elite x3 vs Lumia 950 XL

    Indeed I was. Even if more expensive, I think it'll be worth it (unless the price is prohibitively high), as it means all the data and apps she has on the device will be instantly available when using the laptop, without any syncing issues.

    What smart watches are compatible with Lumia phones?

    Re: What smart watches are compatible with lumia phones? I use the Garmin Fenix 3, which I would claim is a real smartwatch with my Lumia 950. Works great.

    What is a good Smartwatch?

    I have a Garmin Fenix3 Sapphire watch (cf. Garmin Fenix3 In-Depth Review ), which is really awesome. Great for working out, looks good even while wearing a suit, and shows notifications, calls, etc. And there is a Garmin Connect Windows Phone app. Works great with my Lumia 950.
