I must say I have come across pretty much the same as you, in that quite a few people either have never tried WP (but still say its garbage) or that they just don't seem to want to give it a good enough go. I know of a couple of people who used it for less than a week (in one case two days) and...

WP should definitely be more popular than it is, but there are many reasons why it is not. One reason, and I've said it a few times, is that branding plays a huge part. With the youngsters nowadays (I'm only mid twenties, but I'm referring to teenagers in particular), if it's not a device from...

Well I'm not in the US so can't really comment on your stores, as we don't have those ones here in the UK. However, we do have a good amount of mobile phone and electronic retailers here. I don't believe it's a secret Google deal that you mention, but companies, like Samsung that was mentioned...

Well I can personally say I'm very happy being mostly all in on Microsoft's ecosystem. Moving from Apple to Microsoft will probably come down to your own gut instinct in the end and what you yourself think would be best for your situation. When I was a student and shortly after, when working in...

The 920 is definitely a lot cheaper than at launch. The best place to pick one up here in the UK is at Tesco for just ?199 Sim Free (unlocked). However I'd have to agree with Andrew that the Surface Pro 3, especially for your 6th form education, would be the best one to save up for if you can...

With the handsets you've got to choose from, being the 620, 625 and 920, then I'd 100% go for the 920. I've got one and think it's a superb phone. Just off the top of my head, features such as the screen size, screen quality, front facing camera, wireless charging (if you choose to use it), and...

Well I've got on great with Windows Phone on the whole. Started with a Lumia 800 and then went to the 920 which I'm currently using now. The only thing that annoys me from time to time is the app situation. Even in the UK where apparently WP is at 10% (you would never guess that looking at what...

Microsoft have decided to remove all but 3 of the Beginner videos from this page (there were 17 videos on that page), which I had linked to at the start of the guide. Fortunately though, I've found the direct links for each video and they are still live, so I've listed each video individually...

That's good to know for others who may have the same issue. Thanks for sharing.

I've never been able to view my SMS online (I've tried all the suggestions), but I'm not too concerned really, as I have reset my phone a couple of times now and all my messages have been successfully restored automatically to the phone when it completed its reset. So even though I can't view...

It's just appeared for me now in the UK :) I checked not long ago and there was nothing, but the update is now available at 887MB in size.

Yum yum, already downloaded ;) Actually appears to be a really nicely made app. I'm going to stop browsing the app now though, as it's making me really hungry!

Added a Top Tip in the Office section, for the 'Office Lens' app for OneNote users.

I had a lot of trouble with this when my sister got a Lumia after having an iPhone. Hopefully after following the above advice it works out for you, but if it's anything like I experienced, you may still have some people who still can't contact you properly through SMS. After I got my sister to...

Thanks for letting us know. Would be nice of them to release this.
