Google Play. The inclusion of YouTube Red put it over the top for me. Decent Chrome extension, and excellent app support on Android. And competitively priced. Tough to go wrong.

Here's what I am feeling. Buying a Windows 10 Mobile device today would be like buying the Lumia 900 in April of 2012, only to find out later the next OS won't be compatible with your hardware. Windows on ARM could very well be a leap comparable to Windows Phone 7.5 to Windows Phone 8, which...

Same here on my Lumia640 running the same RTM build as the Lumia 950/950xl. Same experience with customer support. There is a lot of confusion from Microsoft Support as to whose responsibility it is to even support Groove :/

I'm having the same issue over here. I just submitted a write-up to wmpoweruser.com. Hopefully they'll accept it. I'm hoping having the 7.8 botch-up on the front page of a couple websites might spur Nokia and Microsoft to release a fix.

Yeah, all my news tiles on my Lumia 900 are broken: AP Mobile, CNN, USA Today, ESPN, Bloomberg. The apps worked for a little after the update, but now nothing. I wish Microsoft or Nokia would formally acknowledge this problem and pledge a fix. A critical part of my phone's functionality is now...

AT&T also allows for early upgrades at the 20 month mark: AT&T Upgrade Advantage - Upgrade your cell phone & smartphone from AT&T

Also, keep in mind the Lumia 900 was free for launch buyers Also remember that the Lumia 900 was effectively free for launch-time buyers, considering the data-bug $100 rebate. So, it's tough to feel too sour about the present upgrade cost.

Here's AT&T's policy for the Lumia 900 From Best Buy's website regarding the Lumia 900: Early termination fees will be prorated, starting at $325 minus $10 for each full month of service commitment completed. So, if you bought a Lumia 900 in mid-April, and upgraded to a Lumia 920 January 1st...

When I saw the tweet with the URL invite to Nokia's NYC Chelsea event, I honestly didn't know what I was signing up for. Essentially I was to join them for a "treat" at 6 PM. After getting approval for the trip from my employer and my better-half, I booked a roundtrip Amtrak ticket from...

As someone who has to watch his diet... I would recommend the following: * The ability to preview the complete health information of a menu item before it is added to one's order * The addition of cholesterol, saturated fat, and trans fat info. For us high-cholesterol types, this info is very...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux9PouCyh5M I'm a big fan of fast casual restaurants; my wife and I usually hit one up before our weekly grocery trip. I was looking for an app that provided nutritional info and news regarding the national chains, but couldn't find one. Hence, I went ahead and...

Cheetahs don't like re-typing social posts, and you don't want to be around them when they do. Fortunately, Post Protector keeps them happy :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqNqdEIi_A4

In all honesty, I haven't noticed But then again, I don't live and breath the app. I use it for things that the Windows Phone OS can't do itself, like post to Facebook Pages. Point of issue though, you can't blame Zuck for the app; it's Microsoft produced.

An app designed to make using Windows Phone's social integration more efficient was recently released. Called Social Lister, it allows users to: Define lists of topics they post about For each list, define pretext and an incrementor, which is then included in every post Add live tiles on the...

Have you every tried to send out a social post using your "Me" tile, only to lose the message you just typed because of a network issue? This was a continual annoyance for me (AT&T has issues in malls, office buildings, subways, highways, etc....), hence I put together a free app to solve the...
