    Please Help Me Build My Dream PC for Running VR (Oculus Rift, HTC VIVE, etc.)!!

    @jmshub - Thanks for the reminder. Minimum specs are not too demanding. I know when I went for the HTC Vive demo they had some pretty beefy gaming laptops running the demos. The person running the demo said it's really, really demanding on the video card so for an awesome experience need that...

    Please Help Me Build My Dream PC for Running VR (Oculus Rift, HTC VIVE, etc.)!!

    Hey Windows Central Community! I want to go VR in a full-blown, leave-nothing-on-the-table manner. This January I finally had my FIRST experience with a bonafide VR headset. At CES, I was able to get a demo of the HTC Vive (still haven't done Oculus Rift, but I ordered one). I was immediately...

    What's the best Windows laptop to buy right now?

    I'm really having a tough time deciding which Windows laptop I should buy next. I kind of want the Surface book, but the new Dell XPS with it's glorious waterfall edge to edge displays is so hot. And then there is those new Lenovo laptops, which look pretty stellar. Any advice? Looking for a...

    BBM isn't coming to WP after all

    FYI, updated the first post on this thread. This isn't the case at all. See my interview with Alex from the BBM team here. If you're looking to source BlackBerry stuff, don't trust anybody but ME. :) We talk Windows Phone at the end of the interview.

    Where are the reviews?

    I know Dan and the team like to be thorough on the their reviews, but that the community likes to get them fast too. Will suggest they do the initial impressions / quick review as fast as possible as soon as new phones come out (the way other sites tend to treat their full reviews), and then...

    Do you often accidentally close the keyboard on your Lumia 920 while typing?

    Ok. That's totally the problem. The way I naturally like to hold the phone, the skin on my palm under the phone constantly accidentally activates the back button. That's suckkkkkkks. I can avoid doing it now that I'm aware of it, but holding my hands to avoid it is a bit unnatural and...

    Do you often accidentally close the keyboard on your Lumia 920 while typing?

    @Noob1ee. Ahhh... that might just be it. If that's the case, that's really, really, really not good for me. Willl start paying closer attention to it. But that might be it. I think it does vary - sometimes happens, sometimes not. Probably based on how I'm holding it slightly different in varying...

    Do you often accidentally close the keyboard on your Lumia 920 while typing?

    So I've owned two Nokia Lumia 920 units now, and I've found on both of them I often accidentally close the keyboard down while typing. Now, on the first Lumia 920, I found it happened a lot. I couldn't make a post via the Windows Phone Central app without the keyboard happening a lot. And...

    App request: Any chance we could see more of Mobile Nations?

    Better mobile app and mobile web experiences for all our sites is definitely high on the priority list! And yes.. I agree... the Windows Phone Central app is *sooooo goooood*. Sets a high standard that we need to meet on every mobile platform.

    How do I get Gmail Labels on Windows Phone 8?

    Just looked. I see a Gmail browser app, but that's just a wrapper around the mobile Gmail app by the looks of it. Really need native Gmail label functionality if possible.

    How do I get Gmail Labels on Windows Phone 8?

    Saw this thread for Windows Phone 7, but just wondering if there has been any update on Gmail labels working with the native email client on Windows Phone 8? I use Gmail for my primary work email account and have it added on my Nokia Lumia 920. It's really important for me to have that Gmail...
