Agreed, not just iPhone, MS apps on Android are better as well. I get the whole argument that both those platforms have more users so they have to make sure they have solid apps there, what I don't understand is why can't you have solid and consistent app experiences across the board including...

We're talking about phones not livers here. MS ecosystem is also being offered on competing platforms with far more superior apps at the moment. Listening to Nadela that won't stop either, so you'll be able to benefit from Azure from any platform. If MS gets it together and actually gets the...

No, this particular error is a result of the partition issue, the package error has been resolved if I recall correctly

That is true, but it doesn't change the fact that WP's main competitors namely iOS and Android have more official apps and get new apps sooner than WP

Agreed, although I left android because it starts out well, but over time the OS just gets too bogged down and laggy. That being said a day doesn't pass without Music not crashing on me on my NL920, a number of other apps crash as well and yesterday the lock screen swipe up didn't work for some...

Same thing was said about 8.0, that it will the breakthrough OS and will be a major step forward.

Have you heard of carrier exclusives? The phones you mentioned weren't as widely available as the phones your friends have. MS didn't convince the carriers to bring the 930 or 1520 to Canada, the last high-end device we saw was the 1020 and the one before that was the 920. Please take no...

Error code 801881e1 for checking updates - Microsoft Community

You'll need to be more specific than that, what version do you currently have, what are you trying to install, what error is it giving you

Maybe it's not available in your region? Try changing the region settings and see if it works

I don't think anyone cares any more, since you didn't really reveal anything extraordinary.

Agreed! I think we are on the same page here. I'm not saying there is no market for phones that are 5.5 inches and higher, but if I had to guess, especially given the rumours of what Apple will be releasing and just looking at Samsung Galaxy S vs Note, I'd say the majority of the market will end...

Doesn't prove anything cause that includes devices 5 inches and above as you mention later and based on Canalys a large chunk of that growth at least on the QoQ basis appears to be in the 5-5.4 range. That's not what it means, it means in the 5.5 and above range they have a higher market...

Part of it is affordability of course, but the size in terms of size in hand and size in the pocket are also considerations. I personally don't find 6 inch phones comfortable to use or carry, I'm sure there are many that do and many that don't.

Proof? I mentioned Canalys and Q1 2014, you can go ahead and Google that yourself. "And When they say phablet sales", who is they? There is no firm definition of phablet, Galaxy Note was originally 5.3 so I guess that's not a phablet?. Also I was responding to your post about “larger size...
