    Have you had luck with the radio apps?

    The radio apps I like such as Tunein, Iheart, and ESPN radio all have many negative remarks and they appear not to have been updated for a few years. Has anyone found luck with a good radio app? I mostly listen to sports talk. Thanks

    Why do so many people say WP is good for first smartphones?

    Let me say that I'm going to exaggerate here to make a point. I have read many reviews about Lumia phones and too often the comment is "great for a first smartphone" or "good for kids." Implied is that older or more tech savvy people would not choose WP. I do not understand because I think...

    Im trying to understand this workaround for apps not in the store....

    Do people not know how to do this? Seems this would stop much of the hatred toward the Windows app store......

    Im trying to understand this workaround for apps not in the store....

    Is there any site that won't work on? I just couldn't image it could be that easy. I would think that missing apps become irrelevant if you can always do this.

    Im trying to understand this workaround for apps not in the store....

    So I went to the MS store locally and got to use a 635. I loved it. My hesitation involves the apps missing from the store. The lady working there told me its a non issue because she goes to the webite site of whatever she needs and pins that to the screen, thus making her own app. Does that...

    635 owners would you recommend this phone now?

    Im looking for a new phone and used a WP 8x a few years back. I loved the tiles and how easy it was to use. I like Android but Im tired of it. I know this phone has no front camera but I will live with that. Overall, would you buy one again?

    I bought the 521 instead of the Moto G. I love this thing. Whether it was the better value or not, I really am enjoying it.

    521, 520 or something else? Please a little help...

    So Ive been an Android guy for a few years and played around with a friend's Windows 521 last week. I loved it! I was shocked at how easy it was to use and how much fun. I only spent about 20 minutes but it made an impression. So now this week, my Android died and Im looking for a device. I...

    Any real difference between the 520 and 521?

    I posted about buying a 520 and the response was lukewarm to say the least. Before I give up on WP altogether, is the 521 exactly the same? Is one just T-Mobile and one ATT? If there are any differences please explain. If everyone is equally unexcited about this one, then I know I better go...

    Android user thinking of switching to 520. How will life be different?

    You know you guys are much more critical/honest of the 520 than I expected. No offense but I thought everyone would tell me the reasons its great but there are some negatives many of you mentioned. I appreciate the honesty.
