Hello all. So I posted a thread back in June saying I was leaving windows phone after 5 loyal years of enjoyment. No big deal, I know its only a phone but that conversation is irrelevant considering how much we use smartphones, how much they help us out and how useful they now are. So yeah...

Oh for goodness sakes, really? Last time I made a thread on here was over a year ago. You knew what this was when you read the title. I don't care really. That is not what this community should be about. Does it really have to be that boring ? This in a windows phone forum. People make threads...

I don't think I am acting like a cry baby at all, just sharing my experience of windows phone. I have had them since they came out and know the system very well and it has been a very good OS to me but I want a change, but more so, MS are not catering for the phablet large screen devices, at...

Back at the tail end of 2010, Microsoft launched widnows phone 7 as we all know, which debuted on a range of phones from Samsung, LG, Dell and HTC, a few of which I bought. After reading up about them and trying one out at the time, I was convinced it was a completely fresh approach to mobile...

Yes, it is such a nice phone and so likeable, I am the same with my 1520, and I got mine in December when they came out for the UK, I am still in love with it. Every time I pick it up, just feels so nice with the build quality and it is just beautiful piece of kit. It's also very exclusive, you...

No problems for 8.1 for me neither, although it is on a 1520, I am sure if there was any genuine problems, they would have shown by now. I have a 520 I use as a backup, once 8.1 is available on that, that should show up and problems more accurately I would imagine. Don't think I have experienced...

ASDFGHJKL;'# I am excited by this information. Thanks man, wouldn't have known otherwise lol. It's weird, about 4 weeks ago I tried downloading the developer preview, went through the tutorial to download 8.1 preview, and it didn't work. I downloaded and installed "an update" but there was...

Thanks very much guys ! xD

SO basically, I installed the windows 8.1 spring update a week or so ago and most of the changes are good;, the added gestures and icons for mouse and keyboard users are a nice touch, and the general menus and settings are more intuitive and informative. But, Every time I close an application...

Don't know what you're going on about dude, but the Microsoft device eco system is the most fluid, innovative and consistent system out there. The "problems" you have pointed out are developers, not Microsoft. Stop moaning and just enjoy it.

Re: geting use to a phablet I've had mine since December 16th last year. Took me probably 2 or 3 days. I have had the likes of HTC Titan and Samsung ATIV S which were large phones. The 1520 is a beast as it is a lot bigger than those two, but because its relatively light and very think for what...

I'm not so sure WPCentral is available in China because of their censorship and so on, and nearly all Lumia phones are made in China at Nokia's one of three facilities. Shame really, oh well.

Are you sure you're talking about the 1520 ?

Bub'bye. See you in a couple of months when you come back.
