    Microsoft, ship Duo in two versions for consumers!

    that would be fine, it is pretty useless to me as an android device. I don't understand why they just didn't make a pocketable version of the Neo. That is what I want - to be able to carry my pc in my pocket - dock it when I get to my desk. and sure have it make phone calls and send text...

    Not A Phone, It's a Surface

    If it were a Surface, it would be running windows.

    Future of Windows 10 on arm

    I hope so. To me this should be one of end goals for windows on ARM. Andromeda may be nice but I really don't want a two screened device. but a computer with the form factor of a large phone (5.5 screen or bigger) and telephony support that has a dock for me to connect to a keyboard, mouse...

    Andromeda Device Petition

    There are at least two problems with this. 1. if Microsoft isn't committed to it, then I don't want one. The last thing I need is yet more technology from them that they are going to abandon. And if they are committed to it, we don't need a petition. 2. What am I asking them to save? until...

    Will OEM's be releasing "not phones" too?

    My guess is maybe something targeted at business users, but probably nothing for the consumer market. The problem is that Microsoft has given up on the phone market, and unless App developers start creating UIs for full windows there will still be an app gap for the consumer market. Now there...

    Love this phone

    Yes and No. I bought my Idol 4S a year ago, its my only phone. I really like Windows 10 Mobile and the 4S is a sleek and great phone but.... Microsoft has quit on Win 10 Mobile and it shows. The updates do not address a lot of the nagging issues, and Alcatel never put out firmware updates to...

    Alcatel IDOL 4S (T-Mobile - USA) got the Fall Creatures Update

    I still like my Idol 4s. It is my only phone and I am not planning on replacing it for a while. I bought it in January, so I have had it less than a year. I will continue with it for at least another year, probably longer.

    Why I use Edge as my daily driver. Which browser do you use and why?

    I would like to use Edge as my main browser - and often times I do. But I would recommend you install chrome on your PC as well. Here are some of my issues with edge - there are more but I can't remember them all off the top of my head. 1. Editing - if you use Edge for editing you will find...

    Windows Mobile is dead long live Windows on a mobile platform!

    There is so much wrong with that article, I hardly know where to begin. 1. It assumes everyone wants to carry a full PC around in a phone form factor. Sure some people do, but there is large part of the consumer base that wants a phone to be a texting/facebooking/tweeting/instagrammiing/photo...

    Outlook won't sync when not connected to wifi

    I believe this happened at the last update. But my phone will now no longer retrieve emails from my POP account when not connected to wifi. So at home it synchs and gets the email with no issues. But when on cellular it does not sync either automatically or manually. When I press the sync...

    Only 3 windows phones? No Lumias?

    Do your daughter a favor and get her an iPhone or an Android. Don't make her the only one in school who can't get all the latest apps.

    How many good apps are needed to fill the app gap ? What do you think?

    Don't forget the market share gap (yeah I know chicken/egg) They can (and have tried) potentially fill the app gap by cutting deals with the bigger players to make windows mobile version of their apps. But until there is a big enough market share new apps won't be developed for WM. I think the...

    Which is better name if Microsoft have plan to release new window phone (surface or Lumia )

    How about Galaxy S9 or iPhone 11. They may get a few extra sales based on the confusion :grin:

    Here drive & here maps apps

    Here maps is not supported for Windows 10. However the built in Maps app is based on the same technology in Here and is a reasonable substitute (some, like me find it to be better). Also the Waze app is available for Win 10 mobile. Here is an article from 2016 that discusses the Here app...

    My vision of a Surface "Phone"

    What do I want out of a Surface phone.... Well for starters how about... A commitment from Microsoft to the mobile platform. Enough of the endless stream of reboots. They will now have a fully unified operating system that can work for all types of computers which will now include ARM based...
