    Duo international capabilities?

    Good afternoon all. Not sure if I'm not researching this correctly so thought I'd ask the WC forums here: I'll be going TDY to Lithuania in a few weeks and was inquiring if I'd be able to use my Surface Duo while I'm there. I'm on Verizon if that matters (I know I'd have to do an international...

    Surface Duo and cases?

    So I wonder how cases and other device protectors are going to work on Duo (and Neo for that matter). It looks like a clean folding device flush to each of the screens. Spigen is going to have some challenges with this one...

    Making the jump to One X

    Hey all, Rocking the OG Xbox One and since I'm finally getting into the 4k world after having upgraded my TV, I'm asking the question to the community: Would upgrading to the One X in the next 6 months (especially if good Black Friday deals come up) put me behind with Project Scarlett? Or is...

    LTE bands? Restricted to specific carriers?

    Have LTE bands been confirmed? Will we be able to bring this to any carrier?

    Duo and Surface Pen?

    Has anybody asked the question or had the capability confirmed if Surface Pen will work on Duo? I would assume it would because... Well, Panos said its a Surface. Even though it's running Android, I can't imagine software would prohibit hardware use...

    New Office icons?

    Has Microsoft been slow-rolling the new Office icons? I use Office 365 and even enrolled myself into the Office Insiders program but still no new icons. Was there ever a timeline laid out or is it just gonna be "whoever gets it will get it, eventually?" Thanks!

    Surface Go -- Worth updating from Surface 3 (non-pro)

    I think I'm gonna be selling off my Pro 4. I've had it since it came out and it was exactly what I needed for a few years. Being active duty, it became a useful 2-in-1 for online masters work but i eventually needed something bigger. Pulled the trigger on a new desktop for more screen real...

    Surface Pro or Surface tablet?

    Depends on what your use-case is going to be for school. For engineering, you'd probably be better off with Surface Book 2 -- and you get a sweet tablet use-case out of it for that hands-on feel of reviewing text books and annotating equations. For more liberal arts types, I would go with...

    Cord-cutting and the Xbox One

    Getting feelers for any possible cord-cutters out there and how they've integrated their Xbox One into their setup. Specifically, I'm curious if folks have integrated any external DVR-type boxes in order to record live, OTA TV -- that's my biggest hurdle when it comes to possibly getting...

    Movies &TV*way quiet

    I have this exact problem and have no idea what the deal is. I'm going to continue perusing other forums -- have you tried Microsoft Community by chance? v/r BMK From Surface Pro 4

    Am I wasting my time?

    I mean, AT&T/TMo are rocking Lumia 950 series, not sure what the HP x3 is on but im assuming some GSM-style network. LTE is become the standard though - sure CDMA is rarely found outside the US, but CDMA network companies are transitioning to LTE because of its capabilities. LTE was originally...

    Am I wasting my time?

    Depends on the carrier. Most international companies, especially ones using GSM, are very flexible when it comes to using multiple SIM cards with multiple phones. Companies that use CDMA, like Verizon, have numbers integrated into either the device or SIM card that authorize that device on...

    Am I wasting my time?

    Thanks man -- yeah it's always been tough being a Windows mobile fan and being on Verizon. I had a Lumia icon but after my last deployment it kicked the bucket which essentially forced the 735 as my only viable option.

    Am I wasting my time?

    Sure, buying other phones is great and all...if switching carriers and all that hassle was in the cards. But it wasn't. I bought my phone well over a year ago, how am i supposed to know that Microsoft will support some hardware over others later in the future? Microsoft basically jabbed a...

    Am I wasting my time?

    I'm leaving Windows 10 Mobile soon -- I can't do it anymore. I've been with Microsoft since the HTC Arrive back in 2010. I'm sporting a Lumia 735 that's a little over a year old (which, by the time I got the device, it was already aged in the market). I decided to enroll in the Insiders...
