    I'm having problems

    I upgraded my old PC to Windows 10 because I thought I might as well get my upgrade registered. In the past you're free to change your hardware as you please and then call that horrible number to do the 25 digit activation thing. However after building a new PC Windows 10 wont activate because...

    Surface pro 4 needs more options

    Why can't I get the core m fanless model with more ram and storage? I don't want the i5 or 7 because I hate fans and the core m is plenty powerful enough. Just I canny use 4gb on Windows and only 128gb sucks, I want 500... I'm not paying 1700 to get that and then I have to have a cpu I don't...

    Will an "unlocked" 950XL work on Verizon?

    Microsoft didn't mention CDMA

    Can you replace the Bands?

    If you can I'll buy one, if you cannot I'll stay away as on the Band 1 they were falling apart in the 3 days I had one before I sent it back. It looks like you can here, but I'm not sure. http://icdn4.digitaltrends.com/image/microsoft-fitness-band-2-hands-on-18-970x647-c.jpg + Does it have...

    Do you NEED Continuum?

    Nope, never gonna use it, I have a PC.

    Are the 950/XL as disappointing to other people as it is myself?

    Firstly I have to say I did not enjoy Windows Phone 7 or 8, I sold my Nokia 1020 not only because it was so slow, but also because Windows 8.1 was just terrible. However I'm really hoping Windows 10 Mobile is where Microsoft finally get it right, I also hope developers finally jump on board now...

    Should New Lumia Devices be sold at a loss ?

    They're going to cost Microsoft like $250 to make at most, like the rest of the competition, so there is no need to sell them at a loss, just sell them at the Nexus 5X price point and they still make money, just smaller margins. I wont be buying them though either way, they're just ugly.

    Any news on a replacement 1020?

    Yes but will it be a camera flagship to kill off the 808/1020 or will it just be one good enough to compete with the GS6/iPhone 6s? I got bored of waiting though, so I just bought a Sony RX100M3.

    Microsoft need to boost the graphics capability in the next Surface Pro

    Did I say it wasn't Nvidia? I said the K1 and then whatever is inside the iPad, I never coupled these together. Nvidia also make GPUs designed for x86 operating systems coupled with Intel CPUs where it disables the on board. Battery life wont be decreased much more than using the one built into...

    Microsoft need to boost the graphics capability in the next Surface Pro

    Valid posts are trolling? Just because you disagree doesn't make someone else's opinion to be worthless trolling. People say the excuse of "this isn't a gaming device"... well why shouldn't it be able to play games for the price it costs? The built in Haswell chip is garbage, it cannot do...

    What annoys me about Microsoft making DX12 a Windows 10 exclusive...

    Drivers for motherboards are always really sketchy, it doesn't matter what OEM you buy from, it is a really struggle to get them to care about their older products. I'm currently trying to use Windows 10 on my current Motherboard which is only a few months old, while most of it works, I'm having...

    Microsoft need to boost the graphics capability in the next Surface Pro

    Intels built in chip is just crap, so crap in fact that the Tegra K1 and whatever is inside the iPad are almost as powerful. It is useless and cannot do anything, it even struggles with playing CS:GO which is a game based on a 10 year old engine. Microsoft need to either put an Nvidia chip...

    920 now or wait for the next model?

    Yeah I'm learning c# on Windows Phone so it would be useful to have the actual handset. I like it as an actual developer platform over Android or IOS, it's much more user friendly, I still don't understand why it hasn't gotten the support. I mean the bigger companies have enough reason to want...

    920 now or wait for the next model?

    I don't want a metal body, I like plastic so I don't have to have a stupid case. People go on about the iPhones but all that happens is people put them in an ugly case because they're glass and metal... like the worst materials ever for a phone. I've had a Nokia 808 without a case for ages now...
