    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    I agree with you woodchuck, I also went out and bought a galaxy edge plus, (I like the big screen) as I was so fed up with the instabilities of windows 10, for a short time I was in the insider program just to see what was happening, just out of sheer curiosity but soon left and went back to...

    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    I really don't blame anyone for leaving this ailing platform, I really wish it would work out as it should and could be a fantastic platform, but, here's one, I have 2 Windows Phones, 950xl and Lumia 1520, everyday phone being the 1520. When I got out my android LG g10 the other day which I have...

    Is there any confirmed plans for any new Windows Phones?

    When in my local 02 store this week I was surprised to notice only 1 windows phone on display, the 650, (I think), the rep told me that only 11 Windows Phones sold this year in their store, 5 returned, all 950,s, so they have been officially withdrawn by them, he did say that Microsoft were...

    Your Windows 10 Anniversary Review

    Same here, new Asus Lamborghini ended up in pc repairs, totally bricked after update. Was told by very knowledgeable young tech guy that they are inundated with bricked laptops/ pc's with the same problem. No way in to reboot. So complete new build back in windows 7. They are scathing about 10...

    Has the anniversary update been buggy for you?

    Yep, my 3 month old Asus Lamborghini is in the local pc shop, tried to update and got stuck at 65%, nothing would restart it etc, pulled battery everything this really is another catastrophic mess from MS. A top of the range machine with 10 onboard now a brick, hopefully only temporary but this...

    1520 to 950??

    Lol, that is weird!! I bought this 1520 last year from Austria brand new unopened and unbranded, was very lucky, maybe stock unsold or something, but couldn't believe my luck anyway! Don't get me wrong, the 950xl isn't the worst out there but I was really disappointed in the quality overall...

    1520 to 950??

    I agree with Chintan, the 950xl is indeed below par, I've often said that. If you design and build a flagship anything, you build it top notch,, Microsoft got this wrong big style, furthermore it should not have been launched with 10 on board, that killed it with the reviewers on the net, this...

    W10M Insider Preview 14388/390/393 Discussion (Redstone Branch, Inactive)

    re: W10M Insider Preview 14388/390/393 Discussion (Redstone Branch, Fast Ring) Same here, thinking of using my 950xl as a kettle, at least it will be useful! Lol. Bloody roasting accompanied with the lovely smell of hot electrical solder. If it blows or dies it's in the bin, really at the end...

    Windows 10 mobile on 640XL

    Wrong! These are issues that should never have come up. It's quite simply very poor implimentation of their builds, poorly thought out prior to trials, I really believe one departments not talking to the other prior to release, It's just mind blowing the trash that Microsoft has put out...

    Update Lumia 1520 to win 10

    Yep, It's real hard to get what they are trying to do. in my book they do not inspire confidence in any way. Groove?? Any of their aps that they build from the ground up are pretty badly put together. Regarding a good solid music player, try loco player, it really is the best in the store in my...

    Update Lumia 1520 to win 10

    If your talking about Cortana for news or msn then I agree, anything that Microsoft has created themselves is basically a shambles build after build, 3rd party news aps are unaffected. Enough said!!

    Update Lumia 1520 to win 10

    I wouldn't go so far as to say 10 has ruined my 1520, far from it but there are a lot is issues surrounding it namely camera, general speed WiFi issues etc to name but a few. I was lucky to be able to buy this handset brand new unopened in June last year, and one of the many reasons was for the...

    Picture quality vs updated, improved apps?

    It's the same on all Microsoft phones now so your not alone. One of the many reasons I chose the Lumia 1520 was for the camera, the best out there bar none, especially in low light conditions until Microsoft got their grubby mitts on them and really have messed it up when they should have...
