I'll do without the Surface if I don't win.

Just a quick note about Office, Chromebooks can run the full Office Suite from the Office.com website -- though they do need to be online. Of course, Chromebooks that can run Android apps can run the Office apps. I think Windows 10 S will have a tough time against Chromebooks. First, there is...

Yes, they need to at least limit it to posts that contribute to the forum, like iMore did with the Switch contest.

It appears they have made the method for leaving the Insider program even easier. I checked on my phone today and I now have three options in the Windows Insider App: Fast, Slow, and Production. So, to leave the Insider program you just select "Production". You'll get a warning that you are...

Compare them with the new Nexus phones, both of which are cheaper for similar specs -- though there are trade-offs either way. The biggest one, though, for most customers will be app availability.

Actually, for T-Mobile you want LTE Bands 2, 4 and 12. It appears this phone will work well on T-Mobile.

Re: Intermittent charging issue As I mentioned, I used a different charger (cable is built into the charger, so can't swap it out) and have the exact same issue.

Intermittent charging issue Basically, I plug in my phone and it starts charging but, after some variable length of time (somewhere between 2 minutes and 2 hours) I get the beep noise as if the charger has been disconnected. Often, after another variable length of time, it beeps again as if the...

While it appears there are two versions of the AT&T 520, there is actually just one version that is packaged differently. In fact, if you buy the 520 from an AT&T store, even specifically wanting the GoPhone 520, you still get the "contract" packaged 520. Both phones are locked to AT&T. And just...

Just to be fair, the reason you got Edge speeds on T-Mobile was that the unlocked 620 doesn't have the right frequencies for T-Mobile. Same with the unlocked Rogers phone. While I freely admit that T-Mobile does not have the same coverage of AT&T, it isn't fair to compare that coverage using a...

I was going by the article linked in the OP, which claims it will ship with 8.1. Regardless, my point doesn't change no matter what they call the update; the update (if the rumors are correct) will allow the higher resolution screen and the processor to have more cores.

No, there is no compass. It is one of the items Nokia left out in order to keep the price down.

Nokia has been aggressive about releasing new Lumia variants -- typically about every six months. I think the reason this is appears to be coming out after just 4 or so months has to do with Windows 8.1. It appears that Windows Phone 8.1 will support more hardware and greater screen resolutions...

Microsoft keyboards and mice tend to be good, though like all manufacturers there are some that aren't as good.

As was mentioned, the 520 doesn't have the 1700/2100 Mhz bands that you need for 3G across T-Mobile's network, so it will only work in areas where T-Mobile has refarmed the 1900 Mhz band. There is a map of areas, reported by users, where 3G is working on the 1900 Mhz band here.
