    Why are so many Microsoft services limited feature-wise, outside the USA?

    I have to admit... There are only two things that bother me. First is Bing. I'm Portuguese and most results I get with it are in Brazilian Portuguese or, if in the real Portuguese, lacking. Second ties with Bing somewhat. The localization of some services or even the MS site itself. For me (and...

    iMessage competitor

    With MS's bet on Android apps, its predominance on the desktop space and a placeholder SMS app in Windows 10, it surely seems like MS is in the perfect place to bet on a true iMessage competitor. Would we ever see one?

    How to use the Armchair CEO Forum!

    I'd leak something. Not even joking. We're waaay too much in the dark regarding new products.

    What do you miss most about Windows 10 Mobile?

    I basically miss the UI. It was just so nice and replicating it perfectly on Android is impossible. I miss the tiles, the fluidity, the black, the all apps list... God do I miss it.

    What's your streaming plan now?

    I'm not much of a streamer. I like to actually own my music. However, on the rare occasion that I need to do some streaming, I just use an app provided by my carrier. I have it for free on my contract, but even if it wasn't, it's cheaper than most alternatives.

    Die hard windows fans

    I'm not giving up... Just retrenching.

    What is your 'other' browser?

    Firefox is my main. Been using it since my college days and never looked back. When I changed from IE to FF, I went back and forth between Chrome and FF. Chrome annoys the hell outta me so I won't be caught dead using it. My backup is Edge and it's enough for me... I only need it about once a month.

    Is lack of apps the real WP problem?

    For me it is because it's what drove me away... In regards to the bigger picture, it's the endless retrenching and strategy change, IMHO. How can devs and users alike feel confident on the platform if its own creator changes his mind every year or so?

    Samsung S8 Microsoft edition

    I honestly don't really see the point in it. You can always buy the phone elsewhere and install the apps yourself... Making it so that there isn't a differentiating feature between the two versions. Kinda redundant, IMHO. However, it does make me wonder why is MS wasting time with this instead...

    I keep coming back to Windows Phone

    I would come back in a heart beat. But I have a few problems keeping me from coming back: 1) I am a victim of the "app gap". I'm Portuguese, my country is small and most companies (hell, most of our people) are not tech savvy. Which means that apps for services I use/need are focused only on...

    GMail bug on Outlook

    Damn, I've meant to come here for days and ended up forgetting. Yeah, the problem was that Auto-reply was on. Why was it on however is another matter altogether. Thanks for all the help everyone.

    GMail bug on Outlook

    No dice. I've deleted the account and updated. Once done, I set up the account again and it's still happening. Starting to think this may be affecting my PC as well, or that it may very well be originating from it.

    GMail bug on Outlook

    Hey guys, I'm getting this weird bug on my Gmail account on Outlook Mail on my phone. What happens is that I get a new e-mail and the phone somehow replies automatically to it with a blank message. And I don't know why this happens. I have an Outlook account and this doesn't happen with it. It...

    Joe Belfiore uses an iPhone

    The point is that Belfiore doesn't have to use what you think he should use. He has to use whatever he feels like he should use. Only an extremely short-minded person would think that since he uses an iPhone, he doesn't like/believe/whatever in Windows Phone.
