The feature is only half-baked so far, but you can already text from a PC now via WP. When they finish getting that feature implemented with phone and text, that will be a rather huge deal. It's one of the iPhone's main selling points for Mac users. This one feature is way more interesting than...

I tried one at the store, and it seems good, the issues are software so it's not like any other WP will do better. The camera's speed and better color make up for the loss of zoom from my 1020, so I'm considering getting one. I will miss that 1020 res though, it's great for going to the...

Same here with SMS crashing and app updates. The last build was actually a lot better, with none of these issues (for me at least).

Yes, I set it up and logged in to Skype, but the only effect was that the app would crash constantly. I finally logged back out of Skype in an attempt to make messaging work at least with SMS, but it still crashes when I open it. I always have to open it twice to get it to stay open.

No, I would have said yes about 10581 but either this build is a lot buggier or I was just lucky before. My main issues now are that messaging crashes and skype integration no longer works. I did a hard reset and didn't restore from backup.

I tried it; it was nice. While I only did a couple shots and had a limited choice of things to photograph since the phone was attached with a cord to the desk, I did a comparison with my 1020 (lumia camera) and the 950xl (windows camera). For zoom, the 1020 destroyed the 950xl. The 950xl was...

Re: Windows 10 mobile build 10549 its on available on fast ring This is very cool, but I noticed a bug on my 1020. After I did this it seems that I can only open task view while in landscape mode (and if I'm at the start menu or an app that doesn't do landscape, it won't open at all).

Did you ever find a solution? I had AT&T disable voicemail altogether, so there's no voicemail to connect to, but the phone asks for the password every time I open the phone app now. It's super annoying. I don't want this phone to have a voice mailbox, so setting up VVM again is not the solution.

Yes, I am very excited about having modern specs, a large screen, and a stylus. Not as chuffed about the loss of zoom when compared to my 1020 though. But I think the benefits will make it worth it.

I am so used to resuming... that I almost don't notice; I just have a general expectation that anything I try to do will take an absurdly long time. The action center takes way to long to load (it needs to come down with a swipe, not 5 seconds after you swipe just as you are beginning to suspect...

Theoretically, if you want your iOS-exclusive apps on another platform, it's possible that it might come to Windows 10 first just because porting is supposed to be really easy with the new tools. Whether it's as easy as it's supposed to be and the dev feels like doing it are another matter...

Re: How does the camera for Lumia 1020 match up to other phones now The 1020 is slow and needs work to get the colors right, but if all goes well it has the potential to get a much sharper image. When this site (I think it was this site) did a iPhone 6+/1520 comparison, even the 1520 could...

I searched a bit for this but I can't find any official word. It's a depth camera so it seems possible.

He's committed to two more years. In that time we will see if Win10 is doing well enough to justify its existence to MS. We will also see if the universal and easy-to-port app strategies worked. They should have improved market share by then, so if the new strategies are going to work, they'll...

I thought the 32 bit version was just for backwards compatibility on ancient computers. I'd very surprised in MS shipped a PC with 32 bit this year.
