    What phone are you using nowadays?

    A year and a half ago I picked up a Galaxy S7 off Amazon. It is LITERALLY the worst thing in my life. If I could, I'd send a terminator back in time to kill everyone that started Android. Zero stars.

    What is your final Windows Phone?

    Lumia 640 after my 950 went nuts. Then I switched to a "refurbished" (screwed up) Galaxy S7. Spoiler Alert, Android sucks. I have been fighting the urge to drive a hammer through the screen for a year and a half. Today I had my old 950 charging and my S7 kept dropping calls. I stuffed the SIM...

    Step into Android or go all out?

    Thanks!! I am also trying to stay out of Google's hands as much as possible because I don't like or trust them. I'm starting to get things reigned in. Mail seems to work, Onedrive has my files and uploads photos but photos DO NOT go to Google. I have MS Launcher but may try Square Home, and may...

    Step into Android or go all out?

    I don't care about the look, although I love WP home screen. Mostly it's the use. I have MS Launcher, Cortana Outlook, Word, etc installed. I use all MS services and apps, Outlook.com, OneDrive, OneNote, MS Hosted Exchange mail, etc. because I don't really trust Google. The reason I ended up at...

    Does any former Windows Phone user feel like moving to Android was a downgrade?

    Got interrupted :D I've tried to put as many MS apps and services on the phone to use my MS accounts including MS Launcher, cortana, Outlook with my Outlook.com and Office365 accounts, but it sll seems disjointed, unlike the fluid connection in my Win Phone. Maybe my efforts have made it worse

    Does any former Windows Phone user feel like moving to Android was a downgrade?

    I would consider it for me a downgrade for the most part. I'm still using a 640 but have purchased a S7 with Oreo to move to soon. I'm enjoying a handful of apps but the basics of the phone are disjointed. I've decided Android vs WP is a mall vs a department store. WP is a department store. All...

    Step into Android or go all out?

    If one of you gents is truly gifted in configuring Androids for post-W10M I could really use the help.

    iOS vs Android for Windows phone users

    I'm still chugging along on a Lumia 950. FB just left but it's OK. It still does what I want and how I want it. I don't need much. Can anyone tell me if Android or Apple can handle 2 e-mail accounts with separate contacts and let you manage them the way WP does?

    Does any former Windows Phone user feel like moving to Android was a downgrade?

    I haven't switched yet but I've dabbled with some older androids and iphones and don't prefer them. I'm a minimalist so my Lumia 950 has been just great. Just recently I found an app I'd really like to have in the Samsung Smartthings app.

    Cortana getting dumber?

    When I hit Cortana and say "text Tom Smith" I can try to dictate a message but sometimes Cortana will take a short sentence out of it. Like if I say "I'll try to be there in the morning" it would return "I'll try to be there." before I even finish the rest and no matter how many times I try, I...

    People app Timeline not working

    In both instances, 8.1 and 10, you go into the People app, open a contact, then swipe to get the timeline. Except in my 950, the timeline is empty.

    How did the Surface line succeed while Mobile failed?

    I am angry and I feel Microsoft gave up way too early on the Mobile market. And there were a lot of missteps. I think they should have released W10M much earlier and waited until it was out and in use for a while to allow developers to get Universal apps going. There wasn't as many major apps...

    People app Timeline not working

    I realized shortly after I switched from WP8.1 to W10M that my beloved timeline in People is empty!! I used to love being able to see all the interaction I have had with a contact listed on chronological order. Has anyone noticed this? Is it a known issue?

    How many people do you think still use W10 Mobile?

    I do, and my friend that switched to crapple wishes he hadn't.
