    101 uses for an abandoned Windows Mobile Device:

    I had to trade my 950 in to get my LG V30. I still have my 920 in a box and still running 8.1 if I ever need to use it again. I really didn't want to give up my 950 but I also didn't think it was worth the $150 fee I would have had to pay to keep it.

    Windows 10 launcher on Google pixel is very convincing

    Another good one is Square Home. That's the one I use. Pretty similar to Launcher 10 as I've used both but I just got used to using Square Home instead.

    Usefullness of a touch screen on a standard laptop?

    I didn't think it was necessary at first but now it feels strange to use a laptop without it. I have a standard laptop with it and my Surface 3 as well. In both cases I use the touchscreen when doing a lot of scrolling like on the web. Very convenient and you get used to doing it the way you...

    Microsoft Has Effectively Banned Third-Party Browsers From the Windows Store

    Some websites still don't operate properly using Edge. Wonder how users will get around that issue without an alternative?

    Why no portable windows gaming device from MS?

    To me this was the next logical step for the Lumia line of phones. Ok so MS lost the race and got beat by iOS and Android. But then why not repurpose the cell phones as portable XBox systems? That would increase the footprint for W10M and create a unique selling proposition for the operating system.

    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    Re: I loved the Windows phone platform but we all know it's over. No apps. No one is making apps for I use my 950 at home now to surf the web and access the news. But a few months ago I had to give it up as my daily driver. A lot of you say the apps are not a concern and I used to think the...

    Why, Microsoft?

    But even when you have a super fast connection it still stinks. I only get a few minutes late at night on occasional days to play my Xbox One. Often times I just want to turn it on, play my game, and be done with it! But if the game I want to play has to be updated before I can start then...

    It's been almost 18 months so I'm sure he figured it out or gave up!

    To's and Not To's with my 950

    Wait you're saying the 950 doesn't have wireless charging? Because mine does, in fact that's one of the things I miss on my Android phone. I use the same charging pad I used for my 920. Still works perfectly!

    For those that have struggled like me to leave

    I moved to Android about 45 days ago and discovered the Square Launcher a little over a week ago. I spent about 30 minutes with both my 950 and the Android phone in hand and replicated the layout I had on my Windows phone. So now it feels almost like home on the new device. The biggest thing I...

    Thank you for this recommendation, I love it! Moved to the Android phone about 2-3 weeks ago for good. Still have my 950 and use it at home when I want to just read the news or play around on the OS. I still feel it is superior to Android in terms of the UI but as others have mentioned I love...

    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    This is helpful as maybe my concerns are not so much lack of functionality on the Android side but just the fact that it works a little bit differently than it does on WP. I have configured the "ReadItToMe" app so that is pretty much mimics what the WP phone does but I just hate having to use...

    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    For the past week I've been straddling the fence between Android and Windows 10 mobile. I bought a Moto G4 and removed the SIM card from my 950. I've been carrying both and thought everything was great with my transition to Android until my drive home yesterday from work. The issue is that my...

    Oh Lumia 950 how I missed you

    I bought a 950 within a week of it's release last year. It's been quite a ride and I love the phone and the concept of Windows 10 mobile. But unfortunately even now it is still buggy and the lack of apps is absolutely a concern. Just this past weekend I went ahead and purchased one of the...

    Do you regret getting a 950?

    Living with the 950 is like being in an abusive and dysfunctional relationship. When it works it's such a great experience but then it'll stab you in the back when you turn around and laugh at you. Like some others have mentioned above it makes the most simple tasks extremely frustrating and...
