    Who's Buying The Alcatel Idol 4s With Windows Today?

    Bought mine two days before the actual release thanks to uninformed sales people at Tmo. This phone is worlds better than my Lumia 950, even without NFC. Has anyone else noticed how much more responsive the screen is to inputs? Scrolling is so much smoother, and the screen doesn't have a strange...

    Anyone get anniversary update on Surface 3?

    Wow, you guys are turning an update into a science. I have the update already on my Surface 3 and it runs incredibly well. Maybe yours is part of a different batch or version, much like regional differences for Lumina 950 updates?

    New update 10586.122

    Actually, I just realized the issue- my build number is already much higher. Please disregard.

    New update 10586.122

    I'm still stuck on 14267.1004 on my Lumia 950 duel sim. Is anyone else having trouble finding the update? I switched to slow ring but the update still doesn't show up. Any recommendations?

    Thoroughly disappointed with the Lumia 950 on ATT

    My experience for the past week has been pretty pleasant. There are a few quirks but nothing deal breaking. The phone whirs right along 98% of the time, the camera is exceptional, and W10M is making progressive leaps in quality and new features are once again flowing into the software. I am...

    Win a Lumia 950 XL from Windows Central!

    I want the Lumia 950 XL because I am transitioning from active duty Army service to a full time student and I want to be able to take advantage of Continuum to increase my productivity instead of having to tote around a laptop all the time. Also, I can't really afford one and my Lumia 640...

    Would you honestly buy another Microsoft Mobile?

    I beg to differ. My Lumia 640 has been handily outperforming my coworkers' iPhone 6's and Galaxy S6's. Our work requires us to use our phones very heavily with multiple apps open such as Maps, Messaging, Camera, and a walkie-talkie app all at the same time. The most surprising part is that my...

    Another Windows Phone Conquest

    So my wife has used a few different android devices now, include the Xperia Z2 and most recently the Asus Zenfone 2 5.5". She finally dripped her Zenfone so bad that it broke completely and she had no choice but to use my spare 640XL. She was reluctant because she insisted that she hates Windows...

    Would you honestly buy another Microsoft Mobile?

    I have used both WP8.1 and W10M extensively as daily drivers and I have not had any issues with the concerns you have voiced. Battery life and data usage are almost completely uneffected by live tiles. Also, Windows Phone is so much more efficient than Android that smaller batteries can outlast...

    Why does my new Microsoft Lumia 640XL suddenly switch off?

    I had this issue as well with my 640 XL. The battery does not seat well within the phone, so i placed two one inch wide pieces of toilet paper on top of the battery under the back cover. Its not a pretty fix, but it is effective. You may also need to wrap the paper around the end of the battery...

    Lumia 640 XL running W10M Preview Buid 10512

    I haven't had any need for battery saver, thankfully, due to the 640 XL's generous battery life, but that is a good hint to avoid.

    Lumia 640 XL running W10M Preview Buid 10512

    I downloaded preview build 10512 the first night it was released and everything seemed to be working great. About a week ago I noticed my phone was running slower than before and now it seems to struggle switching between open apps or even open apps like Messaging and Maps. Not only are the apps...
