The good (so far):
-Battery life is MUCH better. I was getting only half a day on the last build
Broken:
-Time zone doesn't automatically change any more
-Location not recognized in EDGE. If I search for "Starbucks near me", it shows me the location I was the previous week. Need to clear the...
I have to make a decision as to whether or not I return my 950XL, and it comes down to "faith" in certain WP features returning. Is there anyone here (e.g. Daniel) who have any insight into any of these items?
-People Hub: Messaging History per contact
-Notifications on Contact Live Tile...
i had the same problem. took me 5 minutes to realize that you need to use your finger nail to push it past where you would feel it is flush with the plastic. Then it locked.Just pushing it down to where your finger stops is not enough
This removed feature (notifications by Contact), plus no communication history in the People Hub forced me to stick with Android for now. Those are the Live Tiles I used the most in order to filter all the other noise I get throughout the day
This needs to be made clear on the Microsoft Store as you only order the 950XL (which is Cat6), and they ship the Dual Sim version. Nowhere does it say what the differences are. My current Nexus 6 is Cat6, why are we going backwards?
For this reason (not knowing if something is coming back) I have cancelled my pre-order. I will come back once I see some movement with these items. It kills me to use Android. I was REALLY looking forward to using a new flagship with WM
That's actually an interesting point. Kind of reminds me of what happened when VW came out with the newest Jetta model. Got new owners since it was similar to what they were coming from, but a little better, but lost previous Jetta owners since it was no longer a VW, but an americanized german car.
I'm a die hard MS fan (have been promoting WP 8.X since it was first launched) and I'm passing on this. I think the phones themselves are great, and pushing the envelope with Continuum, but WM10 itself is a step backwards for me. Things that made WP different (Glance, Notifications per contact...
Those features in particular, and Live Tiles in general, were the one items that non-WP users were really impressed with when I showed them my 920 or 1520.
As others have said, MS has been trying to move towards a standardized UI (e.g. Hamburger menus), so perhaps they removed them to be...
