    MS Launcher & Lock screen

    It is a little bit tricky. You must click on the Bing logo directly on the launcher page (it is just above the "dock" on the right. And only from there, when choosing a wallpaper, you get proposed to setup the lock screen or start screen or both.

    Confused - Mix feelings.

    And, even myself, someone who always claimed not needing a lot of apps, I must admit that having a fully functioning Tesla, Skype for Business, OneNote (possibility to annotate with the finger), Spotify, Google Map (I know, I know...), ... and the Enpass password keyboard that allow me to fill...

    Confused - Mix feelings.

    It is hard for me to comment on this thread and to write that: I have been one of the most fervent admirer of Windows phone and mobile effort. For me, the 920, at the time, coming from the iPhone, was a marvel: a wonderful hardware, ahead of its time (built like a rock, wireless charging...

    Any photographers using Surface Pro?

    I am a photographer and using a SP3 8Go core i7 and this is great. I am using Capture One Pro 10. At home, it is docked and i have a 27" DELL calibrated screen. Otherwise, i am using it in tablet mode as it is very fast and indeed faster with the pen as with a mouse. You can pan and zoom with...

    Microsoft support for Windows Mobile

    Yes, Microsoft service is top notch but the company they delegated the Lumia service to (B2X) is awful!!!

    Microsoft support for Windows Mobile

    I had similar bad experience with my B2X. Had my Lumia 950 keeping rebooting, not charging above 60£ (even after a full night charge), then jumping to 100% ... to die just 15mn later. Explained everything to them, put again a description of the issues in the package. After 2 weeks, got the...

    What accent colors and transparency settings did you use on the last one black wallpaper of space to have the delimitation of the tiles visible while not seeing any colors for the tiles ???

    My trip from iOS (iPhone 6s) to Windows 10 (Lumia 950 XL).

    Well, that is right. Google Map is the best map app ever, no denial here. And it seems that Microsoft announced putting back compass in the Bing Map this summer as in Here Map (this is a must). So I agree with you on the points you made (Cortana crashing sometimes also).

    My trip from iOS (iPhone 6s) to Windows 10 (Lumia 950 XL).

    Let's be real here. I am a Windows phone user currently (and Palm at the time of the iPhone release). Even if the iPhone was missing basing things (copy/paste) and not as complete feature wise, its interface was revolutionary, and this is what make it an instant hit and so successful. Let's not...

    My trip from iOS (iPhone 6s) to Windows 10 (Lumia 950 XL).

    That is very subjective. I switched from iOs with the iPhone 4 but still have had pretty much all iPhones to-date (my wife is using iPhone) until the iPhone 6 currently (and iPad Air 2, iPad Air and 2 iPad 2) and I still prefer Windows phone / mobile (as I could perfectly purchase also for me an...

    Is windows mobile really dying?

    True. They exist ... on Android. But then you have a PC so you need to pay the applications twice, they are not the same, with different UI, settings, way of working so it is a mess. Well, let's see what the future will be but if you are comparing today a Chromebook to a Windows 10 PC...

    Is windows mobile really dying?

    Again, that is not true. You do not NEED a mouse or a keyboard. The phone acts as a giant trackpad and when you click a field, the keyboard pop-up. To show slideshow of your pictures to your family, you do not need a keyboard / mouse To connect your phone to any W10 PC at friend / family's home...

    Is windows mobile really dying?

    Non sense. Lumia 950 has one of the more color accurate display of the entire mobile phone world in line with the Samsung S6 and S7 : Microsoft Lumia 950 Benchmarks And if it happens that you do not like accurate colors and want something more saturated or a different white balance or hue, just...

    Is windows mobile really dying?

    You always wait. People can wait for the iPhone 7, HTC M11, Galaxy S8... I do not understand this claim. Lumia 950 or 950XL or 650 are here. Compared to the iPhone 6S, it has : wireless charging and quick charging bigger, better (color accuracy), brighter, more contrasty, more defined (higher...
