It was good while it lasted. I just switched to an iPhone today and I'm not really proud of it. I was using an x3 on Verizon and last night I dropped it and the screen cable ripped (it was a replacement that should have been re-taped/glued). I didn't feel like waiting another month and a half...

I know this is an old post but the camera is dying. The focus mechanism in this camera module seems to be pretty poorly made because I've had the same issue happen to a stock camera and then a year later on the replacement camera. It's the focus mechanism sticking. What I've found as a quick...

**begin rant** They can pry my Windows Phone from my cold dead hands. I'm back to using my Lumia Icon while I wait for my new x3 screen to arrive from China. Don't run over your phone! There's a million different valid arguments about why I should just switch, but I'm stubborn and ancient. My...

The manager of the Microsoft store I was in told one of the salespeople there to go get one of the x3s that came in two weeks ago. Said they were in for two weeks but were just being promoted today. Not saying this was the case across the board - this wasn't a uniform roll out at all. I would...

PuckCowboy App loading seems very responsive, but I've been bogged down with some work and haven't had a chance to really play. It spent almost an hour downloading/installing windows updates and then downloading a bunch of updates from the app store. Seems like HP must have finalized this ROM a...

ocdtrekkie I just hope they don't use the fact that these things sat in stores unsold for two weeks as a "lack of interest."

Get one. This is going to sound ridiculous - but I've been playing for it for about 10 minutes and this is an awesome phone. The build quality feels really solid. The dock is an absolute brick - and I didn't realize it even came with a built in gigabit port. It feels similar in my hand to my...

So I have one now. The store manager told me they came in two weeks ago but no one asked for them until today. Two weeks isn't going to kill me but it adds to more frustration that if HP and Microsoft together can't figure out when they're selling something that this platform was never going to...

It's actually listed in stock near me in a Microsoft store. Could that be possible? For all my whining I may go and pick one up tomorrow if available.

Waiting for this phone is like Waiting for Godot. I want to apologize at the beginning for the whinefest that's about to commence. Before you guys roast me I want everyone to know that I appreciate and can relate to all of the excitement over Windows Phones, but I don't think I'm there...

I'm having what I think is the same weird problem. I downloaded the Upgrade Advisor app on my Lumia Icon (I think this is Microsoft's punishment for me using Verizon) and the phone button won't lock/wake the phone. I've had it work maybe three times in the past 2000 attempts but pretty...

Enabled MAPI on the mailserver and data usage seems to have dropped significantly - not sure what was happening as POP3.

I used over 9GB in a month - according to DataSense over 8.5GB on a POP3 email address although I had 500MB on another POP3 address. Funny thing is - both mail accounts have an email size limit of 10MB...............Is it trying to download all headers each time it syncs? So I don't know what...

Anyone have any information on what error code 80070018 is when syncing with a pop email address? I've removed and re-added the account and still get the error message.

I may be missing something but is there a select all option for email/SMS? I get a pretty high volume of email on the phone and I like to mass move things into folders/set flags/mark as read/etc. Clicking the left side of the screen and individually selecting messages/threads is really not an...
