    Am briefly jumping to Android (Reasons, pros, cons, etc.)

    While I wont say I have jumped to Android, but I have recently started using an Android phone as my daily driver though I do carry my beloved 950XL around with me all the time. The primary reason for my opting for an Android phone was battery life as I found myself charging the 950XL once and...

    Would you still buy a L950?

    No, I would not buy a 950. But if I could get my hands on a second 950XL, I would buy it. I do like the 950XL.

    Wow W10 mobile went downhill

    Well, ok. But the problem with this construct is encapsulated by that one phrase you used: "the future of mobile". While this includes technology revisions and innovations no doubt, it equally calls for a rethinking of UI/UX and more importantly of form factor. Notice that there is a very...

    Wow W10 mobile went downhill

    I agree. He seems to be - being generous here - a little ahead of his times. And I do think he gave up the mobile battle very easily. I do think there was a way out, which may not have given MS a really significant marketshare, but it would have given them a market presence. Firstly...

    Switching to HP Elite X3

    I think Daniel put it well. The key to your decision will have to be the OS and not the hardware. Based on what you have posted, it appears that OS-wise you are ok. Others have mentioned about your most used app. I use Telegram a lot. I do this on a 950XL. For the most part Telegram works fine...

    Just received an update: KB3199209

    Hi all... Just a heads-up. I received this update - KB3199209 - which announced itself as Update for Windows 10 version 1607 for x64-based systems (KB3199209). Google does not help. No information available on this update. What seemed a bit odd is that usually such updates are accompanied by...

    What do I do?

    ...in which case, at the same time, you should - ideally, but also in all fairness - upgrade your wife's phone from the 650 you got her to a 950 (at least!) :smile:...

    Is Release Preview 14393.222 / KB3194496 working for you?

    Same thing happened to me. My SP4 updated after failing once, but my S3 repeatedly failed (4 times). So I got sick of it and reset/ refreshed the S3 and all the updates including this latest Cumulative Update installed just fine. Only problem - the indexing on the S3 takes a looooong time!!!
