    So, who is ditching Microsoft and moving with Nokia to Android??

    After running with Microsoft on mobile since MotoQ I'm getting ready to jump from Lumia 950 to Sony Xperia XZ Premium. Just learned in chat with AT&T they will be carrying this phone. I'll load it with Microsoft apps and will miss live tiles a lot.

    My windows vs Android experience

    I'm >this< close to buying Sony Xperia ZX Premium in June. I've loved WP and MS (still have my DOS 1.01 diskette) but some of the newer hardware, and some apps in the gap, are calling. Meanwhile waiting for word of Surface Phone. Love my 950, miss my 8X and 1520. And my Moto Q.

    Share your Windows Phone History!

    Hmm . . . HP Jornada 568. Not a phone, but Windows in my hand. Moto Q HTC HD2 HTC Radar HTC 8X (sexiest) Lumia 925 Lumia 1520 (most useful, but damn screen) Lumia 950 (leather back almost sexiest) Without a Surface Phone my next phone will be Sony Xperia XZ Premium (sigh).

    [Quick Impressions] Who Has Gotten an HP Spectre x360?

    I had the first generation (2015) Spectre x360 13 until October 2016, i7 16gb RAM, 512gb SSD, used it with HP Active Pen and very pleased. Suffered water damage and, under the HP Care Pack I had bought, HP gave me a full credit for my purchase price (an option they gave me, as components for...

    HP Spectre x360 13t now available in dark ash silver with FHD display

    update: HP Store shows my config, except for UHD, with a ten day ship delay. The UHD option is not listed. So I'm guessing either UHD supplier problems or (ugh) design/reliability/manufacturing problems with the UHD. We will see if they honor the new 4-23-2017 ship date.

    HP Spectre x360 13t now available in dark ash silver with FHD display

    Btw, I ordered the UHD version of the display. Now, only the FHD version is offered.

    HP Spectre x360 13t now available in dark ash silver with FHD display

    Ah ohh . . . HP emailed me to say the shipping date has slipped by seven weeks. So delivery is now estimated at nearly two and a half months from order date. It didn't help that the email template referenced "holiday" delays. I hope a trade war has not already started.

    Band 2 remaining stock for service centre replacements

    MS Band Support told me this week that, under warranty, I'm receiving a new (refurb?) Band 2 in a few weeks.

    HP Spectre x360 13t now available in dark ash silver with FHD display

    Ordered mine with 4k; shipping from China in two weeks, delivery in three. Hopefully not naval battle breakout during that time in South China Sea. I received the Kaby Lake version of the 13t in October 2016 in a warranty/ADH settlement on my 2015 13t, but have been missing the digitizer screen...

    Where to go after Band 2

    Thank you! That works (after manually clicking sync several times) for activity; sleep data has not successfully synced yet; perhaps not implemented in the MS Health > Fitbit conversion.

    Nice! Where may I find this sync app?

    Where to go after Band 2

    My Band 2 developed the dreaded split. Getting a Fitbit Blaze (yes, notifications coming with the next W10 generation). Question: After deactivating my Band, does the data already synced to the cloud (accessible via dashboard on Web) live on?

    What do you think about Apples' new Frankenstein commercial?

    I saw it today, liked it but it appeared a bit kneejerk reaction to the social fissures illuminated by the recent election. This commercial was probably on the cutting room floor prior to the election, then was rushed to life afterwards.

    WhatsApp Audio call bug causing black screen/dim screen

    Same here, on my 950. Another bug I noticed with latest production WhatsApp is long delay after navigating back to the app (from Translator or another app). Screen is black for a few seconds, an eternity in 2016.

    Hands-on with the jaw-dropping and revamped HP Spectre x360

    Update: My configured Spectre x360 13t (Kaby Lake) ordered from HP on 10-12-16 shipped today (10-25-16), ahead of the original estimated 11-2-16 ship date. Yeah! An Ars Technica review had mentioned the delay in prompt shipping was due to updated (optimized?) Windows 10 drivers being needed for...
