    Phones working well with Win10 mobile

    Yes, I was thinking about that one (the 640, not the 640 XL, that's simply too big to be phone). I read somewhere that battery life wasn't good with Win10, though...

    Phones working well with Win10 mobile

    I have a Lumia 820 with horrible battery life, which had problems with 8.1 and now also with the win10 slow ring preview. Battery life is horrible, and since the latest firmware and app updates to my Microsoft Band 2, the communication between the two devices has been highly unreliable. Since...

    Win a Lumia 950 XL from Windows Central!

    I would love to win the Lumia 950 XL,since I spent my money on a Microsoft Band 2 and now my old Lumia 820 is dying and I need a new phone, too. :orly:

    Question about the Developer Preview of 8.1

    Thanks for the hint! I can't find it just now, just like I have difficulties finding the right RUU. My Lumia 820 is on the way, now, anyway, and if it's OK for a used phone, I'll probably give up on my 8S.

    Question about the Developer Preview of 8.1

    How can I avoid the 800700d error in order to enjoy this update?

    Question about the Developer Preview of 8.1

    OK, the error came after downloading... Let me know how it works for you! Apparently some people have managed, maybe it's only me who's stuck.

    Question about the Developer Preview of 8.1

    All I get is an error... 800700d. Did you also get that?

    Question about the Developer Preview of 8.1

    Did it this morning. It's "only" the Lumia 820, but I'm quite sure it will be better...

    Buying a Lumia 820 now?

    Thank you all for the input! :grin: I know we're heading towards bigger phones, and that sooner or later I have to come to terms with that. Maybe I'm just not ready yet, though... In general, just see where I'm coming from: my first smartphone was/is the HTC 8S. It was nice for a few months...

    Buying a Lumia 820 now?

    I don't necessarily want to go for an X20 phone. It would surely be nice to get a newer one. Thing is, the 8S is 120.5 x 63 x 10.3 mm and fills my pockets pretty much. There's not enough room for e.g. 134.7 x 68.5 x 8.7 mm (730) or even 139.4 x 70.7 x 8.5 mm (830)! I know I have to take the...

    Buying a Lumia 820 now?

    Thank you! You actually listed the phones I am currently comparing to decide which I would like best. Sadly, the 525 is not available in Germany, so I'm still standing between the 720 and 820. Sorry, I just wanted to make sure. :sweaty: The 820 should fit in my pocket any way, but the holster...

    Buying a Lumia 820 now?

    What phone do you have? Wouldn't that also get impractical with bigger ones?

    Buying a Lumia 820 now?

    I'd like to draw more focus on the size problem. Right now it seems in order to be notified of calls and messages and still avoid sound, I need to carry my phone close to my body. This means, since I'm female and wear rather tight fitting jeans, a new phone for me should not be higher than...

    Question about the Developer Preview of 8.1

    Yeah, I take that back. It was relief for about half a day, but now I' having the same problems again. I didn't know I could get back to WP 8.0 on my own, thanks for the hint! I would hate to do that, as it didn't work so well, either, but I'll keep it in mind. Maybe I'll just buy a Lumia and...

    Question about the Developer Preview of 8.1

    I admit that I have no clue what RUU means, but I think the problem just went away. I installed Opera mini beta around the time the problems started and just removed it half an hour ago. Since then, just for testing, I was able to access my email every time I tried (3x so far). That was not...
