    Does iPhone X grab you?

    at least in the past, iphones for their faults(and this is coming from an admitted anti-apple guy) still looked kinda cool. the new iphone x just looks ugly. 1. imo, because of the long shape of phones, vertical dual camera placement on phones - if not done right - takes away from the...

    Next big thing in phones?

    remember those "I'm an apple, he's a pc" apple ads that painted windows as an old fashioned relic of a time gone by? i honestly think surface pro line completely flipped that script. hopefully, the so called surface phone can flip the script the same way.. microsoft could then run ads that...

    Any owners out there?

    Knowing my luck - if I do decide to buy one, that's when Windows Central will finally announce the winner to the Surface Laptop giveaway and the winner turns out to be me. I think it's called Murphy's Law or something? But joking aside, I'm still debating. Kinda waiting for some more real...

    What Windows Mobile should have been by now

    I honestly think at this point that cancelling phones didn't make too much a difference. Other than here, Microsoft held barely any of the consumer mindshare. The only thing I see turning around Microsoft's fortunes in the phone game is for them to come out with something completely new. Like a...

    Next big thing in phones?

    i actually think microsoft should be the ones taking the lead on the next mobile device (both software and hardware) before any other oems follow. BUT - andthis is the big caveat - it would only work if they can bring forth another category changer the way they did with the surface pro line...

    What is the expected life time of a Surface Pro 4?

    my surface pro 4 still works like new. it's worth noting though that not just the surface line, but more and more of tech today in general, seem to be made with planned obsolescence.

    [ this is for you if you take extensive notes ] -- any good solutions on finding/structuring/sorting

    I'll be honest. i'm not exactly sure. i just know a few writers who use scrivener for writing but from what I know, it apparently makes organizing and finding notes very simple. just suggested it so maybe you can look it up and see if it fits what you're looking for.

    Next big thing in phones?

    i don't think 'the smartphone" has peaked. i still think it's evolving.for example - this year alone, we've seen the releases of a couple of devices that shifted the paradigm on the smartphone aspect ratio in an effort towards a (though still not perfected) completely bezel-less design. the...

    Next big thing in phones?

    true... that's why msft needs to focus on app parity if it wants to succeed in winning back the consumer mindshare.

    Next big thing in phones?

    imo, the phrase "next big thing" no longer applies to apple. they no longer innovate. pretty much every "new" thing that came to the iphone that isheep declared revolutionary had been done before on other platforms.

    What do you think of DIY Phone Cases?

    while i applaud your creativity, i would like to hear a followup at a later time to see how this holds up over time. people spend serious money on their phones. when they buy cases, it's to protect their investments. i want to know how well this case does that.
