    I don't see Continuum as game changer, what is the practical use of Continuum?

    This is something similar we do at our university. Write the code, upload it, and at the back end we have big computers like mainframe who perform the simulation and return us the results. If mobile devices become capable of this it would be truly revolutionary!

    Branding of Windows phones - is "Microsoft" really the best choice?

    Lumia on the top, with the speaker grill and Windows logo on the back. I agree, Microsoft is a long word that shouldn't be put in the front because it distracts from the minimalist design.

    I Absolutely HATE Windows 10

    Yes! And it would be a whole lot better too since a lot of WP devices have that curved-at-the-edges glass which is a dream to swipe on. It would be very comfortable, and it's actually surprising Microsoft isn't doing that. Are there any feedbacks/uservoices for it?

    I Absolutely HATE Windows 10

    I agree. But it's either swipe to expand menu or swipe to navigate between tabs (see the new Onedrive app for example). Otherwise there would be a lot of accidental openings/swipes and no one would be happy. While I do think they should have just shrunk down Modern UI to have a larger appeal to...

    I Absolutely HATE Windows 10

    The accuracy... Also, for the record, I love the direction Windows 10 is heading. It remains to be seen how the RTM release will fare on touchscreen devices, but MS is making some good decisions. For instance, high resolution screens are becoming the norm. This is why smaller fonts make a lot...

    Why is 830 faster than 735

    Memory bus/channel can't be different since it's a part of the SoC, which both of them share. The RAM itself may be one reason. Storage performance can definitely play a part as well. I wouldn't be surprised if all components besides the chipset are different between the phones, with better...

    For all Pakistani WP users

    I think it's a speech language issue. Did you try changing it back and then to US again? :0

    For all Pakistani WP users

    Do into Speech settings and download and install the package for English (US). Cortana also needs Location enabled to work. You'll automatically get the live tile on the home screen when she's ready to work.

    640XL instead of the L920?

    I'm almost shocked to compare my father's 635 to my sister's 720. The 720 has a whole different kind of contrast. I read an article that said that the new lineup doesn't use the same 'quality' of the polarizer that was used in the x20 series lineup. And when the author contacted MS their...

    For all Pakistani WP users

    Yes, my sister showed that mother's day lockscreen to me yesterday. It made me melt. Adorable :3 True enough, when it comes to Lumias, flagship isn't always better (I think 830 > 930). But the 830 is older now, and there are already rumors of it being discontinued in production, so I am going...

    640XL instead of the L920?

    You have been lied to. If you actually see a 630/635 display, the difference between that and the 720/920/1520 (all LCDs) is night and day. I guess the 640 may have it, but the 630 for sure didn't.

    For all Pakistani WP users

    I am trying to save up for the (hopefully) improved and incoming 840. And I am failing miserably at that saving :p student budgets, and that kinda thing. I might also consider whatever the next flagship is. I'll get it after a 3-4 months of release tho, so that the prices are lower. If I'm...

    Spartan probably won't keep that name

    I wish you all the best, Mr. Developer. I hope your browser gets lots of users :) I know the time and effort it takes to create apps as a single person or a small team. Good luck with your work. ^_^ And lol @ the guy above saying a developer doesn't stand a chance against MS. The level of...

    640XL instead of the L920?

    Does it really, tho? Because the 630 was advertised with having clearblack and it didn't really have it.

    MS should turn Glance into Active Display

    On AMOLED, no. Yes it has battery cost, but Glance uses a lot less computational power than pressing the power button to bring up the lock screen with all it's colours the added computation of allowing us to drag down the notification panel, etc. All that is loaded up when you turn on the...
