    Hey Rugish, Hope all's well. It took some convincing, but I made the switch. I'm expecting my Essential phone this coming weekend. I'm excited, anxious, but also a bit nervous about the transition. I'm now looking for a back cover case, and a screen protector. Not a lot options, or at least not...

    Hello Guys. Can't believe I never really went to this part of Mobile Nations before.

    Welcome! I'm a long time Windows user, and my current everyday device is a Nokia Lumia 925. It's been five years, and although it still works I've been considering upgrading to a Lumia 950. Recently another user who switched over to Android turned me on to the Essential phone. It looks pretty...

    Thanks. I've been looking on eBay, and there are some that are fairly priced. How has your transition gone from Windows to Android? I see there's a Microsoft Launcher app that seems really well made. Have you installed it? I'm also concerned about transferring my contacts, and data. I guess...

    Upgrade or Not

    Thanks for all of your feedback. I appreciate it. There is a brand new sealed in box Lumia 950 on eBay that is selling for $155.99 with free shipping. I'd prefer to pay less. What'd you think about that price? I'm also still interested in the Essential phone, especially since I'm concerned about...

    Thanks. The more I learn about the Essential phone, the more I think I'll scratch the BLU phones off of my list.

    Thanks. At one point I was thinking of switching to T-Mobile, but decided to stick with AT&T.

    I figured the Lumia would have a better camera, seems that way for the entire line. When I've compared my Lumia 925 to other phones, the camera specs are usually better on the Lumia side. But if you're saying that there have been improvements made to the camera on the Essential, it could be...

    That's a price that's hard to beat but it looks like it may have gone up. Unless I'm looking at a different page. Would you happen to have a link for the $234.32 price? Thanks!

    Upgrade or Not

    Thanks for your response. I appreciate it. I've actually thought about the Lumia 950XL, and although I think overall it's better than the Lumia 950 I think the screen size might be too big. I've been looking on both Amazon and eBay, and it seems that there are some pretty good deals for used...

    Thanks for all of that information. I appreciate it. I was looking at some reviews, and I like it in the Halo Gray with the matte finish. Amazon has a used model for $265.00 but it may have some wear to the screen. Not really feeling that. I'd rather not switch at all to Android, but it sounds...

    Has anyone considered a BLU phone as a Windows replacement?

    So if support is planned to end December of 2019, sounds to me like I shouldn't consider buying a Lumia 950. Advice, and feedback appreciated.

    Thanks for sharing that. That is a lot better than what's on the Essential website. Do you think it's better than the Lumia 950's? I value your opinion knowing that you own a Lumia 950XL.
