Or WP7, if we're being honest. That was the OS that made me come to WP to begin with. It had a different viewpoint on how things should be arranged and done on the format that I found refreshing and, frankly, phenomenal. Very clever in many respects. Since then, they have walked almost all...

This. It's just rude. I purchased this device as a multipurpose console: a game console and an entertainment console. The gaming minority whined and much of the original entertainment focus got nerfed so that the console is truly "game first" now. Voice navigation, gesture navigation (with...

The keyboard looks exactly like he surface pro keyboards but I haven't been able to try them side by side. Has anybody done a direct comparison? Any differences worth noting?

Interesting. My mic just stopped for voice-to-text. It works for phone calls though, so physically it is fine. Maybe it is an issue with the Cortana app, or whatever app is handling the voice-to-text. Your problem sounds like a mechanical issue though. 1520 is ATT, right? They do have...

Yep, they told me March as well when I preordered in Dec. It arrived today. Their store is, sadly, always wrong. But early is better than late, right? So: faster than you expect but don't count on anything they tell you.

re: W10M Insider Preview 14372 & 14371 Discussion (Redstone Branch, Fast Ring) Known issue. I was glad to see them make mention of it. The notice says: We're investigating decreases in battery life on older devices such as the Lumia 830, 930, and 1520 (devices with SoC 8974 chipsets).

I'd have to got to the XL -- the 950 would be too much of a shock to the system coming from a 1520.

Hey Ed: that's a known (but not widely publicized issue). I hammered at it for a few weeks but ended up just going with a hardware swap which fixed it. I suspect that it's a hardware issue is introduced via stress, possibly screen torque. In any case, the swap was the only thing that fixed...

Ah, me too. Is AT&T labeling your data as sent rather than received? Not sure how accurate that label is. But that's what I see on mine, the same excessive data problem. I've talked to AT&T and they have also said that the listing is just a grouping of all the data for the day and I believe...

Actually, I find it easier to type one-handed than two. I make less typos. Weird.
