    Windows Mobile

    Yes, which in a short amount of time and after much hype will also be quietly killed off....It's a two-horse race now. Get used to it.

    Kudos to Microsoft Support - Credit where credit is due.

    I have been pretty harsh on MS in recent years for its full-steam ahead / change direction and leave customers in the cold kinda mentality (Win Phone 7 / WP 8.1, Win RT, ect ect) but I must tip my hat to MS support for getting me up and running with a free copy of W10 for my almost 5 year on...

    Why doesn't someone at MS just refute all the "W10M is Dead" claims?

    Possibly, but I don't see a brilliant ex-CEO with billions of their own personal fortune coming to the rescue any time soon..

    Why doesn't someone at MS just refute all the "W10M is Dead" claims?

    Because, it is. .7% market share No new phone until at least 2017 (950 came out Oct 2015!) non-committal, cleverly worded statements from MS ("We will continue to support the WP operating system..") 1700+ WP staff to be let go. come on.......read the writing on the wall....

    Windows Phone 8.1 Keyboard not registering some keys

    Good question. I'll have to unbox it and check.

    So, my Lumia 820 isn't getting w10m?

    Stick with the original OS, 8,1. MS does not guarantee unlimited upgrades to newer OS's. You ever try running iOS 8 on a iphone 4S? Sure, it works but it makes the phone crap...Same here. Pass on the W10M upgrade on your 820. W10M pretty much sucks anyway.

    Does anyone has any idea about this error message?

    That's British English. Where you'll also find colour, aeroplane, programme, centre, labour.....

    I feel your pain. For what it's worth when I had W10M on my L920 it was terrible. Apps crashing, very slow, not a very good experience. It was an earlier WP Insider build though, to be fair. I think you would have a similar, sub-par experience as well though as the 820 is almost 4 years old...

    Windows Phone 8.1 Keyboard not registering some keys

    I just noticed today that I can't select the x, d, or e keys on my L920 Keyboard (UK-Eng). It only registers the keys either to the right or left of those keys. What gives? I have powered off and on, and also downloaded the US - Eng keyboard as well but it still is the same. Sounds like a dead...

    New battery?

    More detail please - What kind of phone? Is it still under warranty? If the back cover & battery are removable then you can get a battery anywhere you want.
