When I was using Windows phones, it was generally around every 2 years. I'm using an Android now (Google Pixel). I didn't upgrade to the Pixel 2 because there was no significant improvement over the original Pixel. I got the 128 GB model so storage is not really an issue. What matters to me is...

For an FYI, the deal with Huawei Mate and AT&T fell through, though it appears the phone will still be sold unlocked in the U.S. I have the original Google Pixel and I think it's a good phone. The biggest reasons I chose it are they are first to get Android updates and they do not have bloatware...

Since there was no interest, I decided to sell it elsewhere. Moderators, please close this thread. Thanks!

Price reduced to $48. Will still consider any lower offer. Shipping still included to lower 48 U.S. states.

I don't understand the appeal. I simply won't spend that much extra money on a device solely because it may be more stylish than the competition (even if it was my opinion though it is not in this case anyway) or because they finally added a couple of hardware features that have been available...

I've been doing this for 25+ years now. Typically I upgrade the motherboard, processor, and RAM every 3-4 years, and the other components as needed, which could be a shorter or longer period of time. For example, my case is about 10 years old but my Blu-ray drive is less than a year old because...

I started out with Nokia feature phones, went to Symbian, and then HTC Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices. I felt Windows Phone 7 was a bit of downgraded being so limited but Windows Phone 7.5 started to resolve that and I've generally been happy with Windows Phone 8, 8.1, and Windows 10 Mobile as...

The 'app gap' didn't bother me until about a year ago. I didn't care about stupid apps like Snapchat or Pokémon Go, but unfortunately many major apps have been pulled over the past year and it's clear that Microsoft is not committed to the platform at this time. The loss of the eBay app was the...

Thanks, and sorry about the duplicate thread. I figured out the problem. The newsletter does not render properly in Outlook 2016, thus not showing the unsubscribe link. Opening it up in a web browser or using outlook.com it will show up.

How do I stop e-mail newsletters? I have follows and notifications turned off but yet I still keep receiving new articles by e-mail from newsletters@windowscentral.com. There is no unsubscribe link in the e-mail either. I'm happy to read your articles on your site and app but I don't need to be...

I think the phones that were released after the Nokia purchase were already in development by Nokia. They decided to follow through with releasing them because they wanted to continue to have a presence in the market and to have up to date phones for continual development of Windows 10 Mobile...

You can do basic viewing and editing on an Android phone without an Office 365 subscription, just like with Windows 10 Mobile. You gain extra features with the subscription such as tracking and reviewing changes, inserting page breaks, and more.

Yes, and these are some of the reasons why I held off for so long, and I strongly feel that Windows 10 Mobile is a superior OS than any version of Android and I agree about the integration between apps. But it doesn't change the fact that developer support for Windows phones keeps getting worse...

Well, I just ordered a Google Pixel today. I still prefer Windows Mobile over Android and probably still will when I receive my new phone. I've had Windows Mobile 5 & 6 devices, and various Windows phones like the Samsung Focus, Nokia Lumia 900, 920, 1520, and now 950. I'm a huge Microsoft fan...
