I just got my 1520 last week so please bear with me. I was interested in Windows 10 at the onset but after reading the feedback of users in these forums, I decided against it. The thing is, I already signed up for the Insider Program and the update itself has been downloaded. I just haven't...

I have a 640XL but was able to buy a nearly-new unlocked AT&T 1520 for around $160 (the former owner literally used it for a day and then left it in his closet until he sold it to me -- it still had the packing sticker on the back). It's a great device. I'd say it's actually better than my...

My experience with the 640XL (my first WP device) has been very positive so I will definitely get the upcoming 950XL. I find the UI a nice departure from Android and iOS. I use 3 devices anyway so I don't find myself missing any apps on WP -- I just use something else. Maybe if I were using it...

The funny thing is Huawei doesn't always insist on putting their logo on their devices. I was just curious to try one of their devices so I bought a Huawei Honor 4x. Pretty good device -- it's around on-par with a Lumia 640XL, specs-wise, if you're curious. There is no Huawei logo at all on the...

It seems to be all speculation at this point -- the idea was that because Nadella's focusing on aligning strategy/executing and getting a single Windows 10 platform pushed everywhere, the company wasn't devoting resources to putting out a *true* WP flagship this year and was instead focused...

I don't know. I don't find that render all that compelling. It sort of looks like an LG G4 -- my wife has one and I find it very pedestrian. Maybe I'm in the minority here but I happen to like the design of the Lumia 640XL and it made me decided to get a 950XL when it comes out. That they'll...

I wanted to try out a Windows Phone since I was getting bored with my Note 4 and iPhone 6 Plus. I find the 640 XL to be an excellent device for the price I paid. The display resolution isn't a big issue at all -- sure my hi-res wallpapers don't look as good but I don't spend too much time...

Well, to be fair, there are also a number of Android phones that don't support the 5Ghz band. Some are from Huawei and some are lesser Chinese OEMs. I think a couple of budget Samsungs as well.

Yeah. I wanted to try WP out and got it -- I immediately noticed that it isn't as touch-sensitive as my iPhone 6+ and Note 4. Nothing deal-breaking but I wish it were more sensitive.

Someone posted a picture of the display assembly in another thread -- it may be a faulty capacitor near the display connector. Whatever it is, I'm getting really worried that it'll eventually happen to my device. Damn. I only got it yesterday!

I've been using an iPhone since the first iPhone came out and an Android device since the original Moto Droid. Today I use both an iPhone 6 Plus and a Note 4. I love these devices but I was beginning to get bored with both iOS and Android. I'd been wanting to try Windows Phone for a while and...
