I was initially thinking of buying a Win10 Home key, but I realized I still have a Win7 Pro key I purchased that I have never upgraded to Win10 and is not currently in use. Two questions Can I use the Win7 key to activate Win10 (or is that no longer an option) Will Win10 Home turn into Win10...

But is there the chance that it will be rejected by the carrier, or is there a chance that the update won't be developed for this phone.

My mom has a WP8 Samsung Odyssey on Verizon. Is she guaranteed the update or is it similar to Android where the update may never reach her or it reaches her months after release? Sorry, I've only used Android phones which suck with updates.

Trying to use Shippin' Buddy to track a shipment and I noticed that I cannot seem to get the camera to focus onto the tracking number barcode. When I use the standard camera app, the camera is focused onto the tracking number barcode at the same distance. Can anything be done about this?

To make sure I understand correctly - the outlook picture rules over all the other pictures? The way you described it at first seems to contradict this.

Bought a WP8 Phone just yesterday for my mom - she loves it :) However, she is syncing contacts to her gmail account. The problem is that Gmail stores a low resolution contact picture which carries over to an ugly pixelated contact picture on the WP8. When I try to update the picture within the...

I wouldn't have to do this if the sales reps anywhere in my area had any competence with Windows Phones whatsoever. Nobody ever has any login information. I'm surprised they're able to sell any Windows phones at all.

Goodeye, I have four phones on that page. These must be all the ones that I've ever logged into. I think that the phones still stay on that page even if I factory reset them in the store. I thought about removing them from the account, but I also noticed an erase function. I tried running it...

I don't think there is a CC on it. When I went to check billing information on the microsoft website that shows the purchase, I don't see any mention of method of payment. How can I confirm my card wasn't used.

Ok, that's good news. Now how would I go about canceling the app purchase I received notification of earlier? And is there anyway to force a wipe of my personal information instead on relying on some unamused sales associate?

I've been trying out windows phones in several stores. The reps never had the windows marketplace credentials so I always had to use my Live ID in order to try out various free apps. I always reset the phones in the end, or so I thought. Just a few minutes ago I received an email confirming a wp...

How exactly do you manage it only for texting? Do your contacts keep two phone numbers for you, one for texting and one for calling? Obviously they can call you via your GV number, but then they would have to have you in their address book when you call from your actual phone number.

Ohgeez, what about when it comes to dialing out? Do you ever find it annoying that pinned contacts don't have call through GoVoice integrated? Do you ever find it inconvenient to use the GoVoice dialer to call these people. I haven't had a chance to come up with my own opinion on this yet...

jalb, what made a pain to use on WP?
