    Why I came running back to Windows Phone from Android

    I went back to my shattered 1020 for now, the screen luckily still works properly. Unfortunately my income isn't as disposable as it once was, so I'm going to buy a Lumia 635 to tide me over until I have an upgrade.

    Why I came running back to Windows Phone from Android

    Alternate title: There and Back Again: My Adventure to the world of Android, and why I came back to Windows Phone Sometimes you get adventurous -- sometimes that adventure is a dangerous one. About a week ago I was biking home from work when my phone fell out of my bag and onto the hard, cold...

    Why did you decide to buy a windows phone?

    Re: So what made you pick a windows phone in the first place? I picked up a Windows Phone moving from webOS because of the similar social integration. In addition, I really enjoyed the design of the Lumia 920.

    Windows File Explorer concept

    YES. I would love a better file explorer.

    Android powered Lumia from Microsoft

    This isn't going to be the popular opinion, but everyone needs to realize that Nokia did this with Symbian by switching to Windows Phone, Samsung did this by choosing Android, and HTC did this by using both Windows Phone and Android. They CAN live harmoniously.

    [Idea] Just Type integration

    For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, Just Type was an incredibly useful feature from webOS. It was as literal as you could get, 'just type...' and your query could be sent off as a Facebook status, search term or whatever else. Cortana does have some of this functionality, and...

    Pictures / Video taken with your 1020

    The lossless zoom is what makes the camera for me. I figured there are a ton of photos that involve nature, so here's one of a different type of adventure.

    Lumia 1020 - after 9 months (useful for people considering purchase)

    I mostly agree with the points you have here. For me, personally, I got the Lumia 1020 because of the camera. As an enthusiast photographer, carrying around my DSLR around everywhere I go isn't practical. In addition, while the 1020 doesn't replace a DSLR, it really is a fantastic camera -...

    That Gorgeous Screen

    Ahoy! Wow, I just wanted to express how much I love the feel of the 920's screen. Coming from the 820, the only thing I miss is the AMOLED panel, not for the saturation, but for the deep blacks - but I can live without it. However, the slightly curved edges of the 920 feel awesome. Well, now...

    Transferring Data to/from Windows Phone 8?

    Ahoy! I've found a few threads regarding data transfer from an iPhone or Android to a Windows Phone, but I couldn't find a solid thread regarding transferring data from one Windows Phone to another. My case: I currently own a Nokia Lumia 820, however in a few days my Lumia 920 will arrive in...

    WP 8.1 Coloured Start Screen

    Like others have said, its fake, the biggest thing being the space between tiles is too wide, the musical note graphic is ever-so-slightly different from the real thing and the status bar is different in Windows Phone 8.1, according to Tom Warren. However, I think more options would be nice.

    Wow can a Surface ever cause a stir....in Mac land....

    I use my Surface RT daily at Starbucks. I take metro to work and generally have an hour or so before my shift starts, so I spend my time in Starbucks with my RT. I'm not the only one either, I've seen at least two others using Surface 2's. It's not like I live in a huge city or something, I live...

    Switching from iphone to Lumia 1020 - weird issue

    Ah yeah, I had the same problem when I first switched, I had to reinsert my SIM into the iPhone and turn off iMessage, and then I had to unregister my iPhone through the Apple website. Eventually, in a few hours or so, the problem went away.

    Lumia 820 charge from dead?

    Ahoy, readers. Alright, so I've never let my Lumia 820 die all the way, but the other day it did so in my pocket. I try to charge the battery, but whenever I do it gets stuck in a loop of 'Power off>Vibrate>Nokia Logo>Power off>Repeat. Occasionally the battery icon appears after the Nokia logo...
