I don't have a WP device anymore, but Cortana for Android is so good now that it feels like I do as far as integration with Windows 10 is concerned. Basically, instructing Cortana on my PC to send a text to someone pushes the command to my Xperia Z3 and the phone takes care of the rest. The...

I noticed this too as well today and was genuinely shocked when Cortana on my Dell Venue 8 Pro notified me of a missed call on my Xperia Z3. Even more impressive was that I was then able to text back that number from my tablet and Cortana sent it off on my phone with the Sony messaging app.

Re: My W 10 upgrade doesn't recognize my previously working Bluetooth devices. This happened to me as well. Just re-install the Bluetooth drivers and everything will be back. You can find them on Dell's support page for the Venue 8 Pro.

Back in the '90s, Nokia and Siemens were the only major phone manufacturers that didn't have a notification LED. Although back then it was called a "service light" because it started out as a constantly blinking light to let you know you were within network coverage. It then evolved into a...

In truth, Microsoft has developed apps for Android and iOS that allow you to sync most of your data with the Microsoft services on your PC without a Windows Phone (OneDrive, OneNote, Office 365, Xbox Music, Bing Search are all cross-platform now). However, in addition to the Universal Apps...

I think it's important to note how important it was to HTC that doing this was even possible. Thanks to the changes Microsoft has made to WP8.1 (support for onscreen buttons, removed requirement for camera button), HTC was able to create the M8 for Windows within their extremely tight...

That's weird. HTC was the first to add EQ to Windows Phones back in the WP7 days if I recall correctly; it'd be disappointing if they removed that feature.

For those who have the M8, how do you like the onscreen softkeys? I'm concerned that the familiar "three-dots" menu button is too close to the Search button, is it easy to trigger that accidentally?

A Lumia 800 running Android? Sure, they'd love that. A 930? I'm not so sure. My comparison was pretty specific to M8 vs 930/Icon; your myopic logic implies that all Lumias look alike and are equally beautiful. They are not.

I am neither a model nor a professional photographer. I'm an industrial designer and I would not settle for something uglier just because it has a better camera. But to each his own.

AT&T availability suggests Verizon's grip on the M8 isn't as strong as we were initially led to believe, which bodes well for an international release. To be honest I was also looking forward to seeing the Ativ SE in Europe, but it's been so long that I don't think it will happen (at least not...

Anyone know if HERE Transit is available for non-Nokias as well?

That's what I was thinking. Europe is WP's biggest developed market while US sales have been consistently abysmal with no signs of any real growth. It makes no sense for HTC to prioritise their WP efforts there.

Hi everyone, as I'm sure I'm not the only one outside the US hoping to get my hands on a One (M8) for Windows (really a mouthful), I thought it'd be helpful for anyone with any information or heads up about its availability in your locale (UK for me) to sound off here. Right now HTC is keeping...

Because most non-WP users don't know how much can be changed. It doesn't help that most Lumia demo sets in stores are no better.
