Since Microsoft have signalled the end of support to Windows Mobile, with failing Apps expected later in the year, I am reluctantly having to look at replacing my faithful Lumia 650, with an Android alternative. I am experimenting with Squae Home 3 on my Nokia 6 Phone. Initially is looks pretty...

What makes anyone think that Microsoft is going to release a Foldable phone. Despite all the Rumours, Microsoft has clearly stated that Windows Mobile is dead, and no longer supported. So a Microsoft hardware mobile device, could only be Android based, and what is the business driver for that ?

I am also having Account Sync issues, contacts and appointments lost after reseting my phone, my brand new phone won't sync either. Various errors when try to Sync. Cortana can see appointments but not the people hub or outlook. Suspect m.outlook.com servers are not operating correctly, but its...

Most commentators [Paul, Mary Jo etc] have concluded Windows Mobile 10 is going backwards. Not as fluid and fresh as WP8.1. So Microsoft are going in the wrong direction. Developers are not interested in UWP and Consumers will not be interested in an Intel based 'Surface Phone'. That is just...

To be fair, Belifior is on a sabbatical with his family. It is not his job to please the Windows Phone 'fan base' . He is living in the real world, where Apps are important to him. So he dumped Windows Phone. Blame Satya the CEO for signalling the end of WP, by stating it was only going to be...

But Tablets should not crash when there are network issues. The opposition coaches seemed OK, which is all rather strange.

Surface Tablets again failed at NFL games. Messed up the strategy for the Patriots team. At least the commentators still refer to the heavily sponsored Surfaces Tablets as iPads. Anyhow the Surface brand is now tarnished, and needs to be killed off to retain any credibility in the business...

Simply far too expensive for such a cheap looking phone. The Lumia 650 looks a lot better value. Besides Microsoft seem to be doing their best to kill of Windows mobile and Windows Phone, so we are all really looking for alternative Android and iPhones now. Microsoft keep screwing up, and...

Windows 10 Mobile has to run Android Apps. Even if just emulation and not fully performant on high end Apps. Because without closing down the Apps gap, tat consumers see every day, Windows Mobile remains dead platform. I say this as a previous Windows Phone developer. Leave the best...

Windows Mobile 10 doesn't look very inspiring yet. So I will be sticking with my two year old Lumia 925 and WP8.1 for another year to see if Microsoft ever get any sense of mobile. They have lost their way since the great vision of WP7. I will be going back to Android.

Re: Cortana traffic / public transport info for my places Cortana has been in beta for nearly a year now in the UK, and despite all the TV adverts she is still pretty useless on most features. Very unreliable and inconsistent. Windows 10 with Cortana, is due for World Wide Release in a few...

I asked Cortana and She said $4000 for the HoloLens Pro version, which will be released in Nov 2015. The consumer version will be in April 2016, and priced around $1500.

HoloLens version 3.0 will be awesome, and reasonable price. The HoloLens Pro version will be around $4000 for professional users (Architects, Modellers, Scientists, Estate agents etc) But not priced for Consumer market.

I asked Cortana, she said $4000 for the HaloLens Pro and $800 for the standard HaloLens consumer version due in 2017

It is not obvious how I set up rules to manage Junk email, or mail rules in the WP email App. I have searched these forums, but still not clear how I auto manage emails into folders on my Lumia WP8.1 Phone. Any suggestions would be helpful
